On this day in 1968, the Joe Cocker single “With A Little Help From My Friends” debuted on the US Billboard charts at #86 (November 16)

English singer Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help from My Friends" was a radical re-arrangement of the original, in a slower 6/8 instead of the 4/4 beat in the original Beatles version, using different chords in the middle eight, and a lengthy instrumental introduction (featuring drums by Procol Harum's B.J. Wilson, guitar lines from Jimmy Page, and organ by Tommy Eyre).

After recording the song, Cocker and record producer Denny Cordell brought it to Paul McCartney, who later said of the recording, "it was just mind blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful for him for doing that."

It peaked #68 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the week of 14 December.

Cocker performed the song at Woodstock in 1969 and that performance was included in the documentary film “Woodstock”.

This version gained even more fame when it was used as the opening theme song for the television series “The Wonder Years”.

In 2001, Cocker's version of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

ON THIS DATE (60 YEARS AGO)
November 13, 1964 - The Rolling Stones: "Little Red Rooster" b/w "Off The Hook" (Decca F 12014) 45 single is released in the UK.

"Little Red Rooster" (or "The Red Rooster" as it was first titled) is a song that is a classic of the blues. Howlin' Wolf recorded "The Red Rooster" in 1961, a song credited to blues arranger and songwriter Willie Dixon, although earlier songs have been cited as inspiration. A variety of performers have interpreted it, including Sam Cooke, Willie Mabon, The Doors, and The Rolling Stones, who had important record chart successes with the song.

Following Sam Cooke's success, the Rolling Stones recorded their version of "Little Red Rooster" in 1964. The recording session took place at the Chess Studios in Chicago, the same studios where Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, et al. recorded their blues classics (the Rolling Stones instrumental "2120 South Michigan Avenue" was named after the studio's address). The song reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on December 5, 1964 where it stayed for one week. It remains to this day the only time a blues song has ever topped the British pop charts. The song generally follows the original with Brian Jones contributing the distinctive slide guitar part and an effective harmonica part on the outro (although Mick Jagger would mime to the latter instrument on television appearances). It was the band's last cover song to be released as a single during the 1960s; subsequent singles would be self-penned efforts. The Rolling Stones version of the song was based on Sam Cooke's version, however, the third verse about the "Hens fighting among themselves" was omitted in their version.

"Little Red Rooster" was not released as a single in the US, but was included on the 1965 album The Rolling Stones, Now!. The Rolling Stones performed the song on several American television shows in 1965, including The Ed Sullivan Show, Shindig!, and Shivaree (at their insistence, Howlin' Wolf also performed on Shindig!, where he was introduced by Brian Jones).

On this day in 1980, the Spandau Ballet single “To Cut a Long Story Short” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #43 (November 15)

The song was their first single, and they began recording it before they were signed to a record label because of the interest they had generated with a debut concert for patrons of the exclusive weekly London nightclub the Blitz.

Then the producer of a S*x Pistols documentary for television let the band know he was also interested in filming Spandau Ballet in concert, and they seized the opportunity and performed on 13 May 1980 in front of television cameras and an audience that included journalists and record company executives.

The documentary aired on 13 July, and several major labels were in touch within days.

Eventual Spandau Ballet producer Richard James Burgess recalled, "Labels were at a fever pitch trying to sign the group."

The song showcased Tony Hadley’s big voice, and that memorable spiky Gary Kemp synth hook, driving it to #5 in the UK, #9 in Ireland, #15 in the UK, and #19 in Spain.

An early classic of the genre.

On this day in 1980, the ABBA single “Super Trouper” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #13 (November 15)

The song – with lead vocals by Anni-Frid Lyngstad – had the working title "Blinka Lilla Stjärna" (i.e. Twinkle Little Star, in Swedish), and was the last track to be written and recorded for the album of the same name.

It was to be the Swedish group’s ninth (and final) #1 in the UK, which placed ABBA fourth for the most UK chart-toppers in history (behind The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard); a position the group would keep for almost 20 years (until Madonna scored her tenth UK #1 with "Music" in August 2000).

The track was also the fourth biggest selling single in the UK for 1980.

The single “Super Trouper” also topped the charts in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands, and peaked at #2 in Norway, #3 in Switzerland, Austria, and Mexico, #8 in Finland, #11 in Sweden, #32 in Canada, #45 in the US, and #77 in Australia.

The name Super Trouper is actually a brand of followspot used in large venues.

Also on November 15: On this day in 1982, "Love" was issued as a single in the UK.

https://tinyurl.com/yyqboqq6

This track originating from 1970's Plastic Ono Band album was tied to the newly-released John Lennon Collection. In selecting this track as a promotional tool for airplay, the collection's producers made the decision to purposely undo the decision John himself had made when the recording was new: beginning the track at full volume, rather than fading it up, as on the original.

John had issued it this way intending to discourage airplay, believing that "Love" wasn't truly representative of POB. It peaked at #41. The piano heard on the track was courtesy of Phil Spector.
