J Lennon page 12 by ric gustafson
In Jan 1963, George Martin was right. ' Please Please Me' became the Beatles number one song. Right away in Feb 1963, the band recorded ten more songs. Some were Lennon McCartney originals. Some were R and B covers including ' Twist and Shout'. They decided to name the album after their first number one.
In November of 1963, the second Beatles album ' With The Beatles' was released. The album was released the same day President Kennedy was killed.
In Jan of 1964, the British Press gave the band the news they were hoping for. On Jan 13 1964, their single ' I Want To Hold Your Hand' was released in America. After just three days, the single had sold over 250,000 copies. On Jan 17, Capitol Records informed the band that ' I Want To Hold Your Hand' was the number one single in America.
To celebrate, the band had a huge pillow fight.
