Larry Williams

"Larry Williams?" some might say...but Larry is amongst the few to have songs covered by both The Beatles (including solo recordings from both Lennon and McCartney) and The Rolling Stones as he wrote and recorded "Dizzy Miss Lizzie", "Bad Boy", "Slow Down" and "She Said Yeah" among other great songs. I have Larry's version of "She Said Yeah" on a 45, and it cuts both the Stones and Paul McCartney's fine versions to shreds!

Clip one is Larry performing "Short Fat Fannie".

Clip two is The Beatles performing "Dizzy Miss Lizzie".

Clip three is The Rolling Stones doing "She said Yeah" in 1965. Notice an animated Bill Wyman at a time when he still sang backing vocals.
