Tommy Quickly
- Soundtrack
Tommy Quickly was a Liverpool rock and roll singer in the early 1960s.
He was a later signing of artist manager
Brian Epstein, whose biggest act
was The Beatles. Spotted as the vocalist
with local group the Challengers, Epstein liked Quigley but not the
band, suggesting first a name change (to "Tommy Quickly and the
Stops"), then pairing him instead with The Remo Four. The next change
was in song selection; whilst Quickly's voice was best suited to rhythm
and blues, Epstein steered him toward pop songs, starting with his
first single, "Tip of My Tongue", written by the Beatles songwriters
John Lennon and
Paul McCartney.
