John Lennon with singer Tommy Quickly, presumably at Brian Epstein's NEMS Enterprises Offices in London. Tommy was signed by Brian, but struggled to get any hits. He was offered a Lennon/McCartney song, 'Tip of My Tongue' (1963) but it was also a flop. John would later state "That's another piece of Paul's garbage. Not my garbage."

KRLA Beat, December 2, 1964
Tommy Quickly's brief foray through the Land of Eleven Ten was noted, particularly his special press conference set up just for fans at KRLA deejay Bob Eubanks' nightclub, the Cinnamon Cinder. Everyone thought that Tommy and his manager Brian Epstein were "so nice". - KRLA Archive
KRLA Beat, November 4, 1964
“This boy electrified me.“ So said Brian Epstein about his latest discovery, Tommy Quickley (also spelled Quickly, born Thomas Quigley). With characteristic hyperbole, Brian assured the KRLA Beat that Quickley "will be the biggest star in the world”, even bigger than the Beatles.
Despite Epstein’s support and a debut song penned by Lennon/McCartney called “Tip Of My Tongue”, Quickley failed to catch on anywhere, either in the USA or in England, and retired from the music business in 1965. - KRLA Archive
Los que sí publicaron un álbum titulado "Smile!" - con exclamación-, fueron The Remo Four de Liverpool, ex acompañantes de Tommy Quickly. Tocaban con los Beatles en The Cavern y en 1961 fueron elegidos por el periódico Mersey Beat como tercera banda mejor de la ciudad. Sus singles para Piccadilly/ Pye fracasaron comercialmente, a pesar de ser parte de la escudería NEMS de Brian Epstein y "beneficiarse" de "Tip of My Tongue", una migaja al suelo de Lennon / McCartney. La canción pinchó en plena Beatlemania, cosa rara. No tanto, porque era bastante floja. No todo lo que componían Lennon- Macca era oro, también hacían mediocridades y ésta claramente fue una de ellas.
Los Remo lograron sacar un único LP para Star Club Records en 1967, grabado en rápidas jam sessions en el Studio Maschen. Por supuesto, el contenido de este "Smile!" no tiene nada que ver con la música que hacía Brian Wilson, se trata de un álbum de versiones de jazz - R&B sólido y fluido, muy del gusto mod. Curiosamente, lejos de sonreír en portada, el grupo sale con mirada seria, dura, casi desafiante. Remo Four fue el grupo de Tony Ashton y Roy Dyke, que más tarde formarían con Kim Gardner de The Birds y The Creation el trío Ashton, Gardner & Dyke.
