Imagine\u2026It\u2019s Liverpool in the 60\u2019s. The Merseybeat is in full swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What comes to mind?  The Beatles \u2013 yes! And\u2026\u201cDo You Want to Know a Secret,\u201d<\/a> from Billy J Kramer, a charismatic singer with a string of hits that began with that John Lennon and Paul McCartney penned song. As Billy said in this interview, \u201cDo You Want to Know a Secret\u201d was not a cover. It was arranged and performed originally by him. And Billy caught the eye of Ed Sullivan soon after. The Ed Sullivan Show gave his career an additional kick-start with regular appearances on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy followed up with\u201cBad to Me,\u201d <\/a>which was also written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The recording of the song was released in 1963 and it became a hit, reaching #2 in the UK Singles Chart<\/a>. John Lennon was present during the recording session at Abbey Road Studios. The single was released in the United States the following year and was a top-ten hit there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
