Del Shannon's "From Me To You" (McCartney - Lennon) was one of few American versions of a Beatles song in the group's "unknown" days. It out performed the Fab Four version when it hit number seventy-seven on Billboard while the Beatles bubbled below the top one hundred in August of 1963. This was the Brits first appearance on a U.S. chart. Note the writing credit to "McCartney - Lennon" was on Del's Bigtop label.

The Beatles "From Me To You" hit number one in many countries but not the U.S. with this their third single from Vee Jay Records. The single was re-released the next year and hit the top forty. Look it up! A Beatles tune from that era that everyone knows but it didn't hit the top ten in America!
