Trivia: 1st Lennon-McCartney song in US?

In the same vein, what was the first release in Canada? I'm guessing "From Me To You"...anyone have any idea? Cheers, Bluenose

Well, as I hear it. Del Shannon was touring in England,
where he was Very Big, with the Beatles as his "intro" band.
After hearing "From Me To You" he decided to release his
cover of that song here, in mid '63. Any input on this?
So this would be the first "chart" in the U.S. of a Lennon-
McCartney song...right or wrong?

your right del shannon did record and release this song in 1963....

I have always believed it was "I Wanna hold Your Hand", but only through reading the history books - Mezmo's source is an illustration that things are always more complicated than you thought - when you speak to an expert.

Who was the drummer on those first U.S. songs? It wasn't Ringo.
