Nobody’s Child by The Beatles – ***; by The Traveling Wilburys – ***

First released: 1962

The Beatles backed Tony Sheridan on this one of eight tracks recorded with Sheridan in Hamburg. Nothing special as Tony sings lead. The more meaningful version was recorded by The Traveling Wilburys as a charity single for the "Romanian Angel Appeal" in 1990. The lyrics for this version were changed to reflect the issue at hand about Romanian children dying of AIDS. There was a nice video as well featuring children’s artwork coming to life. It was later released on the 2007 three-disc "Traveling Wilburys Collection" set.
