Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas were part of the first wave of the British Invasion in 1964. Like Peter and Gordon, Billy and the Dakotas were produced by George Martin and provided with a number of songs by Lennon/McCartney. In 1964 Billy insisted on the release of a non-Lennon/McCartney song and "Little Children" became his biggest hit in the USA. A great song, echoing a common teen theme of the time, Little Children was a huge hit and deserves airplay today.
