The Bottom and the Beat: Merseyside: Merseybeat
The Fourmost, formed in 1959, were part of the Merseybeat. Two
songs basically define the group: “Hello Little Girl” (written by John Lennon) and “A Little Loving” (written by Russell Alquist). They got a break in 1963, when Brian Epstein took them under his wing.
According to merseybeatnostalgia.co.uk they were a rock/jazz/comedy act. They were successful as a cabaret act into the ’70’s. The Fourmost were in the flick Ferry Cross the Mersey, which highlighted Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Concerning The Fourmost’s part in the movie Nostalgiacentral.com says “this consolidated their position as one of the leading Liverpool groups.”
What about Gerry and the Pacemakers?
