Rubber Soul Train

Derek’s Daily 45 dropped this one on me. “Devil In His Heart” by The Donays is not only amazing, but was also an early Beatles cover. I like how Derek explores the notion that the Beatles were listening to soul around the time they first began.
Check out the original post from Derek’s Daily 45, HERE!

The Donays’ version is below. It reminds me that the best songs are simple ones.




With The Beatles is where this version appears. George Harrison on lead vocals yo.

    Glad you like it, David! There's no doubt how huge of an influence Motown and early soul played on the Beatles brains (check songs like Tell Me Why, You Can't Do That, It Won't Be Long, etc). They were certainly drawing influences from the best places (add Buddy Holly, Big Bill Broonzy, Elvis to that list as well)
