The Applejacks were a UK pop and beat group of the 1960s. They were the first "Brumbeat" group (that is, from the West Midlands conurbation) to reach the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, and were unusual for having a female bass guitarist, Megan Davies. Signed to Decca Records late in 1963, their success was largely due to the strength of their first single, "Tell Me When". Written by Les Reed and Geoff Stephens, "Tell Me When" was released in February 1964 and shot to #7 in the UK. After meeting The Beatles during rehearsals for a television appearance, John Lennon and Paul McCartney provided The Applejacks with a song which was to be their second single: "Like Dreamers Do". However, the record only reached number 20 in the UK chart, whilst their final hit, "Three Little Words (I Love You)" (also in 1964) made it to #23.
