Help! was not only a great song but also the name of their fifth album that was released in the summer of ‘65 and a soundtrack inspired Beatles music film. If you have not seen the film that was also released in 1965, I highly recommend it. The summary of the movie is something like this: an eastern cult is sacrificing a woman to their Gods who is supposed to be wearing a sacred ring. She isn't and guess who has it, none other than Ringo Starr. The cult then chases the Beatles around Europe for it. All the while great songs from their album are being played. I don't understand why bands today don't make soundtrack inspired films like this anymore. I have a feeling they would sell way more albums if they did.
I have attached a black and white video of the Beatles performing Help!. Push play, sit back and let the smooth sounds take you over. There music will forever be classic and I still can't get enough of it even after taking a college course solely on the band and I was even born in 1986.Click Here!
