According to the posting on Youtube, this is a rare recording of the original version, recorded by the Top Notes in 1961. Most of the photos are early photos of the Beatles. Read the Youtube notes as they explain the evolution of this hit song.

Next came the Isley Brothers version in 1962. This is obviously not their original version, but I think the guys will enjoy the dancers. :laughing

The most famous cover of "Twist and Shout" was done by the Beatles. Here is a 1963 performance. Remember when their first look was considered radical? :wtf
