Twist and Shout

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Twist and Shout" is a 1961 song originally sung by Top Notes and did not become a hit until The Isley Brothers recorded it in 1962. British rock and roll band The Beatles turned it into an even bigger hit in 1964 and topped the singles charts in the United States, Finland and New Zealand. American hip-hop band Salt-N-Pepa covered it in 1988 for their second album A Salt with a Deadly Pepa. It went to number 4 in the United Kingdom and number 5 in Ireland and the Netherlands.
