GA Russell Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I heard a recording today on the Sirius 50s channel that I had never heard before, and in fact never knew that it existed - Bumble Bee by Laverne Baker. I had no idea that The Searchers' hit was a cover of it. The Searchers' version was a note for note copy, but with a completely different sound. Laverne Baker's had horns, and of course she was an alto. Quite a contrast to The Searchers' guitars and high-pitched voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Lavern's original when it was on the radio, c. 1959. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
