Before this dance is through, I think I'll love you too....




I'm so happy when you dance with me....



How can I used other songs to describe this? Though it maybe a lady who sings that!


"I'm so happy when you dance with me" was penned by John but he gave it to George. Perhaps it's too corny for him?



And we call this a drumset, Jimmy....




Boys are you sure this man is a professional drummer?

Yes, he's a pro.And a lucky man. Ringo was sick and they have to find another drummer for the Australian/Asian tour in 1964. Jimmy had so little time to practice Beatles' songs. But he got it over finally. It may not so hard. Because no-one hears him play anyway. Just screamin' ladies!

It quite strange that years later Jimmy never wrote anything about Beatles. While someone like me write about him endlessly and I haven't even been born then.

They nearly didn't do the Australia tour. George [Harrison] is a very loyal
person, and he said, 'If Ringo's not part of the group, it's not The Beatles. I
don't see why we should do it, and I'm not going to.' It took all of Brian's and
my persuasion to tell George that if he didn't do it he was letting everybody
down.


Jimmy Nichol was a very good drummer, who came along and learnt Ringo's parts well. Obviously, he had to rehearse with the guys. They came and worked through all the songs at Abbey Road so he got to know them. He did the job excellently, and faded into obscurity immediately afterwards.

Beatles in Help! 1965. Lennon said they just get high all the time in this film. No wonder why it's so funny!
