Originally titled "Shake It Up, Baby", the Top Notes 1961 version of what would become "Twist and Shout" was a flop. A year later the Isley Brothers rearranged version would do well on both the pop and R&B charts. The Beatles have the best known version but would only get as far as #2 on April 4, 1964. However, they had plenty of competition - they owned the top five places that day.
