Arthur Alexander has been considered a pioneer of American ´country-soul´ music. He is definitely one of the greatest R&B singers; and despite his name may sound a bit forgotten if compared to those of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding his legacy is as astonishing as these two late legends of American music. Alexander´s records made it very early to the UK; where they made a big impact amongst the youth that would become the first spades of the so-called British Invasion. The Beatles recorded ´Anna (Go To Him)’ on their first long play; as did The Rolling Stones with ´You Better Move On´ on theirs. Versions of ´Soldier Of Love´ or ´A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues´ sounded in all the clubs around England and ended in sides of many 45s of the young bands that made the sixties scene. Other artists having covered Alexander´s material include Dusty Springfield; Gene Clark; Humble Pie; Ike & Tina Turner; Roger McGuinn; The McCoys; Jerry Lee Lewis; The Gentrys and even Pearl Jam! In fact, Alexander is the only artist whose songs have been covered in studio albums by The Beatles; The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan; probably the three biggest acts of the 1960s.
