Tony Sheridan, of the pre-Beatles, Dies at 72

Share

I feel like I’ve been staring at Tony Sheridan’s name on the original pre-Beatles album for most of my life. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe were Sheridan’s back up band in Hamburg in 1960. Nine songs were recorded with Sheridan as lead singer. Here’s the New York Times obit: http://tinyurl.com/b666gug
