This from Big O

Tony Sheridan, best known as an early collaborator of The Beatles, died on February 16, 2013 in Hamburg, Germany. He was 72. Sheridan was the hard-driving rock and roll guitarist and singer teamed with the Beatles on their first recording session, when they backed him on the hoary old standard My Bonnie in 1961. The Telegraph also said Sheridan was a decisive influence on the Beatles’ early repertoire, introducing them to R&B records imported from America by artists like Little Richard which Sheridan covered in his own set.
