When John Lennon was growing up in Liverpool, UK - long before he was in The Beatles - he took great inspiration from some of the biggest and best singers of all time. On top of being obsessed with the likes of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly, Lennon used their lyrical prowess and songwriting skills to create his own memorable tunes. The Fab Four's second single, Please Please Me, was released on January 11 in 1963, but he couldn't have done it without some big stars.
