Copied from wikipedia: Before she was sixteen years old, Shapiro had been voted Britain's “Top Female Singer“; The Beatles' first national tour of Britain, in the late winter and early spring of 1963, was as one of her supporting acts. During the course of the tour, the Beatles had their own first hit single, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the song “Misery“ for her; but Shapiro's producer, Norrie Paramor, turned it down, and she did not record the composition. In 1995, during a This Is Your Life highlighting her life and career, Shapiro revealed, “It was actually turned down on my behalf before I ever heard it, actually. I never got to hear it or give an opinion. It's a shame, really.“ Shapiro lip-synched her then-current single, “Look Who It Is“, on the British television programme Ready Steady Go! with three of the Beatles (John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison).
