Apache - The Sugarhill Gang

Het nummer "Apache" is oorspronkelijk (1960) van Bert Weedon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCBBnFMfdGQ) maar is in de loop der tijd gecoverd door een hele resem andere groepen, waaronder dus de Sugarhill Gang (met de bekende "jump on it!")

Tot zover mijn bijdrage

"Although The Shadows released it first, Bert Weedon was the first to record it."

This record shows how important it was to be quick to market with new records. In 1960 there were so many 'cover' versions of songs that it wasn't necessarily the best version that sold, but the first to be heard on the radio.

Bert Weedon belonged to an older generation than most of the Rock and Roll guitarists of the day, but the arrival of the new music had suited his style well. He managed the chart several times; his biggest success was Guitar Boogie Shuffle which reached #10.

'Apache' was an instrumental written by Jerry Lordan, a singer/songwriter who had charted himself with a couple of minor hits. Sadly for Bert, the 'Shadows', arguably superior, version got to market first and gave them their first hit independent of Cliff Richard. While they went to #1, Bert's version sank almost without trace, struggling to reach #24.
