Tell Him - Glee - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Tell Him,” performed by the cast of musical TV show Glee in 2013, is a great example of how a song can change perspectives as it is adapted by various artists. Originally, the song was written by Bert Berns (under the pen name Bert Russell) with the title “Tell Her.” It was first recorded by American R&B performer Johnny Thunder in 1962. That same year, the song was turned into “Tell Him” and recorded by pop music group The Exciters. This version reached Number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the most popular version of the song. It was then covered by various artists including Sonny & Cher and Bette Midler. In 2013, it popped up as one of the performances on Glee’s fourth season. It appeared on the episode “Sadie Hawkins,” where the characters Brittany (played by Heather Morris) and Marley (played by Melissa Benoist) discuss their crushes and decide to do something about them.
