4 - Episode 4 – My Bonnie

Episode 4 – My Bonnie The German bandleader Bert Kaempfert produced records for Polydor and in 1961, he was alerted to Tony Sheridan who was working at the Top Ten Club on the Reeperbahn. He was accompanied by the Beatles, although the label called them the Beat Brothers. The audiences liked the rocked-up ‘My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean’ and hence, ‘My Bonnie’ was a single, even making the German charts. The Beatles recorded an instrumental, ‘Cry For A Shadow’ which was very like the John Barry Seven’s ‘Rodeo’. Tony Sheridan was talented but there are many stories of how outlandish he was on stage (and off!) and he was often encouraged by another wild rocker from the UK, Roy Young. A Liverpool singer Paul Murphy worked for Polydor and recorded Tony Sheridan and Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes.
