who sang this? - Listen Do you want to know a Secret video

Do You Want to Know a Secret" by the Beatles is taken from the 1963 album Please Please Me, sung by George Harrison. It hit the number two spot behind another Beatles song, "Can't Buy Me Love" in Billboard, but reaching #1 for two weeks in the chart published by the Teletheatre Research Institute. However, the Beatles' version was never released as a single in the UK where a cover version by Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas reached number two in the Record Retailer chart, and hit number one in the NME chart (used by Radio Luxembourg) and the BBC's Pick of the Pops chart, which were more widely recognised at the time. In 1980, Lennon said that he gave "Do You Want to Know a Secret" to Harrison to sing because "it only had three notes and he wasn't the best singer in the world," but added "he has improved a lot since then."
