Why This Song? Episode 10: "Love Potion No. 9" by The Searchers

In this episode you'll hear from John McNally and Frank Allen from The Searchers on why this love song with an exotic romantic formula became a hit and why it's still loved today. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, first recorded as an R&B single by The Clovers in 1959, then turned into a jangly Merseybeat‑style hit by The Searchers in 1964. The Searchers’ version became the best‑known one and is why it’s still so widely loved and associated with them today. Why This Song? is a curious new video series about pop music and pop culture.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
