Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Since it's Beatle week and the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four's 1st appearance on Ed Sullivan is this Sunday, here's another Beatle forgotten oldie.  "Matchbox" was a Carl Perkins song and the Beatles were huge Perkins fans.  They started doing the song on stage in Hamburg in 1961, performed it on their BBC radio show, and finally released it as a single in 1964. It climbed to #17 on the hot 100, rather astonishing for a rockabilly song from the 20's!  Ringo handles the vocals, and the song is a classic!
