The Beatles were Del Shannon's support act in England during his tour in 1963 and Del Shannon was the first American artist to cover a Lennon/McCartney song that same year with "From Me To You". It entered the Billboard Hot 100 on 29 June, becoming the first Lennon–McCartney composition to make the American charts. Del's version was a bigger hit than The Beatles.
