60s - Apache (The Shadows)

Apache

"Apache" is an instrumental written by Jerry Lordan. The first released version was recorded by British group The Shadows in June 1960 and the song topped the UK singles chart for six weeks (August - September 1960).

The original studio version featured Hank Marvin playing lead with his Fender Stratocaster, Bruce Welch in rhythm guitar, Jet Harris in bass and Tony Meehan on drums. And (surprise!) Cliff Richard on Chinese drums in the beginning and end of the song.
