The Top Notes

The Top Notes

Rhythm and Blues Vocal Group, The Top Notes, recorded and released the first version of "Twist and shout" (a later hit for The Isley Brothers and then The Beatles). They had a hitless career, with solo projects from members fairing better. Please take a listen here and have a nice Wednesday: The basic things, Hearts of stone and Twist and shout
