The Fourmost were an English Merseybeat band that recorded in the 1960s. Their biggest UK hit single was “A Little Loving” in 1964. (More from Wikipedia)
Like “I Wanna be Your Man”, which was first recorded by the Rolling Stones, “Hello Little Girl” was one of the songs that they gave to others to record. A little known Liverpool band (at least in this country) called the Fourmost first recorded “Hello Little Girl” in 1963 and made it to #9 on the British charts; Gerry and the Pacemakers also recorded the song in this time period.
I don’t know anything about the Fourmost except that I think they were the band that I saw in an early booklet or paper about the Beatles who were holding their guitars as though they were violins. I haven’t been able to find that photo on the Internet though. “Hello Little Girl” by the Fourmost opens Side 2 of an album called The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away.
