Anna (Go To Him)

Composed by Arthur Alexander

About "Anna (Go To Him)"

From the original Beatles Album "Please Please Me" (1963)

Arthur Alexander wrote this, making it one of the world's great trivia questions: Alexander is the only person to write songs that were recorded by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.

This was distributed to US disc jockeys in 1963 on a single with "Ask Me Why." The promotional disc is a rare collectors item.
John Lennon loved this song, which is why The Beatles recorded it.

He sang lead, and changed the lyric to "go WITH him. [From www.songfacts.com]

A very popular song with the Carolina Shaggers because of the tempo of the song. Alexanders version naturally is more popular with shag dancers, but the Beatles do it justice.
