If at first you don’t succeed, be creative and try again!
Success doesn’t always happen the first time.
This song is a great example.
Originally written by Phil Medley and Bert Russell, and recorded by the Top Notes in 1961. It was not a very popular song. The writer Bert Russell felt that the producer, Phil Spector, did not do a good job.
He produced it with another group in 1962 – the Isley Brothers. It went to 20 on the Billboard Top 100 chart.
In 1964, the Beatle’s version was released as a single and got to #2 on Billboard’s chart.
1986 the song was featured in “Ferris Bueller’s Day off” and Matthew Broderick’s character lip synched to the recording. It shot up to number 23 on the charts again 22 years later.
Reuse, rethink, repurpose!
When you have a good idea, it can be good again.
Shake it up, Baby!!
“Twist And Shout”

The Beatles and the Stones were 2 giants in Hungary too in the 60′s 70′s. I remmember the whole country sitting in front of the radio and recorded all their songs to cassette tapes
Thanks Zsolt
Thanks Zsolt
Bueller?, Bueller?, Bueller? man, that Beatle’s song from the Ferris Bueller movie brings back memories. where did all the time go?
I know! LOL
Amazing when you realize that even the greats had to try and try again
Thanks for stopping by, Lynn
If you belive, try it again. But of course you have to trust your idea
So true!
Success for the *song* didn’t happen the first time. There might be other lessons here than “if at first you don’t succeed, try again”. Getting the right team – in this case the right band, perhaps the right producer, perhaps the right studio. Perhaps the right timing. The message might be that the right person can make a success out of another person’s failure. Of course, this can also serve as an encouragement that if you really believe that something *can* be successful, but isn’t yet, then think hard about what it will take to *make* it successful, and find the right people to help you get it there.
You are right, all the lessons are there.
indeed the inventor of the eraser is a rich man “I have the persistency and consistency to be a success.”
Thanks for the reminder
Great comment, thanks!
Am I the only one who never could see what the appeal of the Beatles were? There again, they were before my time.
I did not appreciate the Beatles during the 60′s and most of the 70′s. At the end of my high school (1974 or so), a theater group made a full production of all Beatle’s songs with great sets, costumes, and dance. I LOVE IT. A good friend of mine was on the crew, so I saw it many times. They were shut down for legal reasons, but I am really glad that they had it going for a while.
Sally, you are so inspirational! Loved this!
Thank you dear Donna!
Wonderful song really. Thanks for sharing, Sally
Thanks Vince
persevere ..
That is right!
Great advice, Sally. And I’m with you, Roger.
Appreciate the visit, Joleene
Great advice and great co-relation between life and this song!
Thanks so much, Nate
