Ring-A-Ding Rhythm

This was Richard Lester's movie before Help and A Hard Day's Night.  The one thing this movie makes clear is that England really needed The Beatles.  I got it because of Helen Shapiro who does a decent job.  She's much better at singing.  It's surprising that she is 15 in this.  She sounds and looks older.  She's one of the British girls of the '60s who sometimes gets overlooked compared to Sandie Shaw and Dusty Springfield.  There are a couple of acts that I like, people already in my music collection, like The Paris Sisters.  I liked Gene McDaniels.  I never heard of him before so it was worth a watch to discover one new artist.  Most of the bands in this movie though are mediocre jazz bands.
