The Four Pennies
 This
Blackburn (Lancashire) beat group scored a notable UK Number 1
hit in 1964 with Juliet - co-written by guitarist
Fritz Fryer (born David Fryer), singer Lionel Morton and bassist
Mike Wilsh.
Philips initially released it as a B-side to Tell Me
Girl, but quickly flipped it when they realised the ballad's
potential.
The quartet enjoyed three further Top 20 entries with I
Found Out The Hard Way, a cover of Leadbelly's Black
Girl, and Until It's Time For You To Go (all in
1965).
Fryer later turned producer, notably for Motörhead. He
died in September 2007 in Portugal, from pancreatic cancer. He
was 62.
Lionel Morton married actress Julia Foster and made frequent
appearances in children's television programs.
