The story behind

The Who included Please, Please, Please on their album My Generation, released in 1965. The song is a cover of an original track by James Brown, which had already been released as a single in 1956. The Who's interpretation made it more than just a cover: they sang it with an energy that was evident in every note. Live, James Brown always made a simulated fall during the song, and his musicians helped him up, put a cloak on him, and he took it off to continue singing with more force. The Who's version, although not recorded live, captured that same intensity, and the song became part of their distinctive sound. ↓ Skip to chords
