Larry Williams is not as famous as many of his contemporaries, but was responsible for a long string of hits beginning with
Short Fat Fannie in 1957. He continued to produce such rock and roll staples as
Slow Down,
Bony Moronie, and
She Said Yeah. His songs are probably better known today through other artists' interpretations of his songs. Williams' songs have been covered by:
The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones,
The Beatles,
The Replacements,
The Beatles,
Johnny Winter,
The Who,
The Plastic Ono Band,
Paul McCartney, and
The Jam.
Also Sha Na Na. And every garage band in the world. [more inside]

Apple Corps Ltd. sues Apple Computers over
AppleMusic. "When it first happened with the iPod, we said, "What could they be thinking?" said a Beatles legal insider, who agreed that posters announcing the iPod from "AppleMusic" were among the most egregious violations. "They knew we had the agreement, and that we'd won a lot of money from them already."

Pre-Fab George. In a fascinating sidelight, it turns out George Harrison and his brother Pete actually
visited the U.S. for a couple of weeks in 1963, visiting George's sister, who lived in a small town in rural southern Illinois. Lots of history was made there: He bought the album containing the original version of "Got My Mind Set On You," which he would cover 25 years later; he bought his first
Rickenbacker guitar, the sound of which would change
rock music, and little WFRX, West Frankfort, became the first U.S. radio station to play the Beatles, thanks to lobbying by George and his sister. Not to mention he played a nearby VFW dance, sitting in with local rockers the Four Vests. There's a Tom Hanks
movie in here somewhere. Not to mention the obligatory "George Slept Here"
bed and breakfast.
