The Fourmost: You Got That Way (1964)


The Fourmost were an English Merseybeat band that recorded in the 1960s. Their biggest UK hit single was "A Little Loving" in 1964. With Brian Epstein as their manager, The Fourmost (like Cilla Black, Billy J Kramer and The Dakotas, Peter and Gordon, and Tommy Quickly) had access to early Lennon/McCartney compositions felt to be unsuitable for The Beatles to record. The Fourmost's first two singles were written by John Lennon. "Hello Little Girl", one of the earliest Lennon songs (dating from 1957) was released on 30 August 1963 and reached #9 in the UK. Their follow-up single, "I'm in Love" (Lennon/McCartney), was released on 15 November 1963 and reached #17 in the UK. "You Got That Way" was the B-side of "How Can I Tell Her", released in July 1964 and reaching #33 in the charts.
