1 Do the Hustle

If I Fell is a song by The Beatles which first appeared in 1964 on the album A Hard Day's Night. It was written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. "That's my first attempt at a ballad proper. ... It shows that I wrote sentimental love ballads way back when", John Lennon stated in his 1980 Playboy interview. 
The song stood out for me when I first listened to that Beatles album back in 1964 and it remains one of my all-time favourite tracks. During my career, working in schools, I attempted on two occasions, with two different choirs, to tackle this song with a large singing group. On both occasions, I was unhappy with the way it was sounding and eventually scrapped it from the programme. With these frustrations in mind it became a “must" for my recording list when I retired. Abby Strickland is, once again, the vocalist I chose for this important song. I wanted it to sound different from the original Beatles version but every time I tried something unusual, it just didn’t work. I asked Abby to try and keep the original harmonies on the vocals. I changed the key and slowed down the tempo a little. I also added a little piano to the introductory bars. In the end the changes weren’t that significant but I am still happy with the finished version.
