The Beatles

"Dizzy Miss Lizzy" (live at Shea Stadium in 1965)
 ...is a song composed and sung by Larry Williams in 1958.
It shares many similarities with the Little Richard song "Good Golly Miss Molly".

The song has been covered many times, including, most famously, by The Beatles on the 1965 Help! album (released as "Dizzy Miss Lizzy"). The recording was initially intended for the 1965 American compilation Beatles VI along with the Larry Williams cover, "Bad Boy", recorded by the group on the same day. Paul McCartney has stated that he believes this song to be one of The Beatles' best recordings.[citation needed] It features loud, rhythmic instrumentation, along with John Lennon's rousing vocals.
The song was originally thought about[clarification needed] by band manager, Brian Epstein, and was later introduced to Ringo Starr, the band's drummer. He made sure that the band recorded it after loving its upbeat rhythm and interesting lyrics[clarification needed][citation needed].
"Dizzy Miss Lizzy" also appeared in a live solo version by Lennon on the Plastic Ono Band's Live Peace in Toronto 1969.
In 1965, it was covered by The Fabulous Echoes, on their LP album Lovin' Feeling, with the Hong Kong-based Diamond Records.



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beatles staged their second concert tour of the United States (with one date in Canada) in the late summer of 1965. At the peak of American Beatlemania, they played a mixture of outdoor stadiums and indoor arenas, with two historic stops on this venture.
After this tour's conclusion, the Beatles, who had been touring, recording and promoting non-stop for three years, took a six-week break before reconvening in mid-October to record the album Rubber Soul.

The Shea Stadium show
The Shea Stadium concert on August 15 was record breaking and one of the most famous concert events of its era. It set records for attendance and revenue generation. Promoter Sid Bernstein said, "Over 55,000 people saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium. We took $304,000, the greatest gross ever in the history of show business."[1] T
