iTunes offers first Beatles ringtones

http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/22/itunes-offers-first-beatles-ringtones/

Apple started selling albums from The Beatles last year and now the company has released a set of ringtones taken from the band's most popular albums. The selections span a wide range of titles including early titles like A Hard Day's Night and later tracks like the 1970 chart-topper Let It Be.
You can buy the ringtones from the iTunes app using your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Each ringtone is US$1.29 and can be found in the Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > Buy More Tones. Be careful to click on the link for Ringtones. Also listed, as shown above, is the 1 collection for $12.99 which has 27 songs, not ringtones as I first though, from the band's twelve studio albums and 22 singles.

Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames (a British group, not to be confused with Jimi Hendrix's early American band, "Jimmy James & The Blue Flames" which featured Moogy Klingman and Randy California) had a string of hits.

Trivia Question: What was Georgie Fame's FIRST HIT after leaving The Blue Flames?

Answer:  Bobby Hebb's "SUNNY"

Solo

Fames' version of the Bobby Hebb song "Sunny" made No. 13 in the UK charts in September 1966.[9] The follow-up, "Sitting In The Park", a Billy Stewart cover, made No. 12. His greatest chart success was "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" in 1967, which was a number one hit in the United Kingdom, and No.7 in the United States. "Yeh Yeh" and "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs.[10]

SUNNY AND BOBBY HEBB IN THE NEWS

2012, OCTOBER

On Tuesday October 9 Dr. Magkneetoe previewed a show that included "Sunny"

Review: Dr. Magkneetoe and the Triboro Trio in Newburgh, New York



The Triboro Trio is made up of Lustgarten, Rick Mullen on bass and Gamma. They opened the preview with a set of fusion music of rock, funk, R&B, jazz and pop. Starting with an instrumental "Chameleon" by Herbie Hancock on a funky bass line, they moved right into "Sonny," the 1966 hit by Bobby Hebb, belted out vigorously by Gamma with voice, drums and percussion. Lustgarten next sang "What's Going On?" by Marvin Gaye with a wonderful jazz riff on the guitar. Gamma announced that he was "Feeling Alright," from David Mason's 1968 rock album.
