Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas - 1964 - I'll Keep You Satisfied
The Dakotas is a group of British musicians, which initially convened as a backing band in Manchester, England. However, they are most closely associated with the singer Billy J. Kramer, a Liverpudlian who was the lead vocalist for the group during the 1960s. In the USA they are regarded as part of the British invasion. Billy J. Kramer is a former British Invasion/Merseybeat singer. In sharing Brian Epstein as a manager with The Beatles he enjoyed access to the songwriting of Lennon and McCartney, recording several of their original compositions. With record producer George Martin, the song "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" was a number two UK Singles Chart hit in 1963, and was backed by another tune otherwise unreleased by The Beatles, "I'll Be on My Way". After this impressive breakthrough another Lennon/McCartney pairing "Bad to Me" c/w "I Call Your Name" reached number one. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. "I'll Keep You Satisfied" ended the year with a respectable number four placing. 01 - I'll Keep You Satisfied 02 - I Call Your Name 03 - Beautiful Dreamer 04 - The Twelfth Of Never 05 - Sugar Babe 06 - I'll Be On My Way 07 - From A Window 08 - Second To None 09 - Anything That's Part Of You 10 - Still Waters 11 - Yes 12 - The Cruel Surf LINK
