Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: I'll Be On My Way

Billy J. Kramer was an old pal from the Cavern days, a Parlophone stablemate, and managed by Brian Epstein. The song was the B-side of 'Do You Want Want To Know A Secret?', another Lennon/McCartney song they recorded.

2. Peter and Gordon sang this song, written by Paul, What is the title? '..I've got plenty of time, help me just to get through it Once again you'll be mine I still think we can do it..'

Answer: Woman

This was credited to 'Webb' on the label, a pseudonym used by Paul to see if a song could succeed without the Lennon/McCartney tag. Peter Asher is Jane Asher's brother.

This song sank without a trace.

Hopkin appeared on a British talent show 'Opportunity Knocks', where she was seen by 60's model Twiggy, who phoned Paul, who signed her to Apple.

Beatle versions of these songs are only available on bootlegs.

7. These lyrics were sung by The Applejacks. What is the song?'...And I yi,yi, waited for your kiss, waited for the bliss..' (It was recorded by the Beatles for 'Anthology 1).

The Applejacks from Solihull, Warwickshire took this song to Number seven on the British charts. Paul wrote it.

It was a Number one hit. All the songs were sung by Billy J. Kramer. The other three songs are all Paul compositions.
