This week's edition of Backbeat features a couple of records where the back-up players became more famous than the headliners, some U.S. records that found greater acceptance in the U.K., an early record by a Toronto native who became very successful, but under-appreciated, at Motown and a rockabilly pioneer who chose the wrong place to live, career wise anyway.
