“Billy is one of the few people who actually knew The Beatles, when they were The Beatles”
In 1963, Billy was the first person to have a hit record with a Lennon-McCartney song, “Do You Want To Know A Secret” which was written especially for him by John and Paul and recorded with George Martin at Abbey Road Studios even before The Beatles recorded it themselves.
“Bad To Me” and “Little Children” released as a double sided single. They have the unique distinction of being the highest entry into the Billboard charts at #8. That accomplishment has never been equalled.
To commemorate his 50th anniversary in music… Billy recorded and released new material “I Won The Fight”.
The song “Liverpool with Love” was instrumental in finally getting Brian Epstein inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. He has also recently released his autobiography titled “Do You Want To Know A Secret”.
Billy J Kramer’s international momentum has lasted through the years, and he continues to record and perform. Billy toured extensively throughout the UK as the opening act for The Beatles both before and during Beatlemania. Billy also headlined tours with such greats as Del Shannon, Gene Pitney, and The Everly Brothers.
