1964... #1 UK Singles Chart #1 New Zealand Charts #3 Ireland #9 Norwegian record Chart.. "Juliet" was written by Mike Wilshaw, and developed into a song by Mike, Lionel Morton and Fritz Fryer. Named after Fryer's 2 year old niece, it was performed by the band in 1963 as their winning entry in a talent contest, leading to a recording session for Philips Records. The ballad was originally the B-side, with "Tell Me Girl" the intended A-side, but after "Juliet" proved more popular with radio play the single was reissued with the sides flipped. The Four Pennies were probably the most commercially successful UK vocal/instrumental group that failed to chart in the United States, during the so-called British Invasion. The Four Pennies were founded in 1963, and initially consisted of Lionel Morton (vocals, rhythm guitar), "Deep" Fritz Fryer (lead guitar), Mike Wilshaw (bass, keyboards, backing vocals), and Alan Buck (drums), who had drummed for both Joe Brown's Bruvvers, and Johnny Kidd's Pirates, prior to joining The Four Pennies. The group's name was chosen as a more commercial alternative to "The Lionel Morton Four", and was decided upon after a meeting above a Blackburn music shop, the shop being situated on "Penny Street".
"Juliet" was the only 1964 Number one by a UK group not to chart in America. Two singles were released by Phillips, and while "Juliet" did pick up some airplay on a number of US radio stations, "Until It's Time For You To Go" did not. In any event, neither single picked up enough US airplay or sales to chart. Signed to Phillips, the group scored a number 47 placing with their first single, 1964's "Do You Want Me To" (b/w "Miss Bad Daddy"). They then cashed in on a number one hit in the UK Singles Chart later in 1964 with "Juliet". The Four Pennies appeared in two films in 1965 - British Big Beat had the group miming to their no. 1 hit, "Juliet", whilst Pop Gear contained performances of both "Juliet" and "Black Girl"..
