Arguably, the first Merseybeat hit! On 26 May 1960, "Billy Fury with The Four Jays" entered the UK charts with That's Love. It was Billy Fury's fourth UK hit and peaked at #19.
The Beatles' first UK hit, Love Me Do, charted over two years later, on 11 October 1962 and peaked at #17.
On That's Love, Liverpudlian Billy Fury was backed by Liverpool based The Four Jays. The Four Jays were credited in the label.
Shortly afterwards, The Four Jays became The Fourmost. They were one of Merseybeat's most successful bands, with six UK hits between 1963 and 1965.
