After signing with their manager Brian Epstein in 1962, the Beatles removed drummer, Pete Best, replacing him with Ringo Starr.
Following this, the Fab Four were concerned with securing their first number-one single. They endured a few failed attempts, but by 1963, they were on to something.
However, it all came crashing down when they attempted to work with another British songwriter. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were hard at work on their new single, From Me To You, in the summer of 1963 - but they were having trouble finishing it off.

Eventually, British star Kenny Lynch stepped in to help them while they were on a tour bus. Lynch, at the time, was a hugely successful singer-songwriter who had released such songs as Mountain of Love, Up on the Roof and would later go on to release the track Stand By Me.
Writer Roger Greenaway recalled the event: "John and Paul were sitting at the back of the coach and Kenny Lynch, who at this time fancied himself as a songwriter, sauntered up to the back of the coach and Kenny Lynch decided he would help them write a song."
The three songwriters got to work on From Me To You. But, before long, it became very obvious that they could not work well together, with Kenny eventually blowing up at the stars. Greenaway went on: "After a period of about half an hour had elapsed and nothing seemed to be coming from the back."
Lynch was reportedly filled with rage over the work the trio hadn't produced. As a result, he began screaming at Lennon and McCartney. Lynch yelled: "Well, that's it. I am not going to write any more of that bloody rubbish with those idiots. They don't know music from their backsides. That's it! No more help from me!"
As Kenny stormed away from Lennon and McCartney on the coach, they continued working on the song. A short while later, on June 29, 1963, The Beatles' track - From Me To You - reached number one in the UK, marking the band's first number-one single. Lennon later revealed the band were not completely happy with how the record was sounding during the writing process.
He said: "We nearly didn't record it because we thought it was too bluesy at first." At this point, the band were still working out their sound.
Eventually, the band's producer, George Martin, stepped in to fix it. Lennon remembered: "When we'd finished it - and George Martin had scored it with harmonica - it was all right."
