Billy J. Kramer was usually doubletracked; the technique allows a singer to effectively sing along with themselves. Producer George Martin used doubletracking on Kramer's voice to cover what he heard as weaknesses in it.
John Lennon's gifts to Kramer's career were the middle initial "J" (his original name was Billy Ashton), and first crack at his newly-written "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" as a single. (The Beatles recorded the song on their first album, with novice singer George Harrison on lead vocals, but did not issue a single of it.)
Lennon gave Kramer a demo recorded hastily in a bathroom, flushing the toilet at the end of the song to prove where he was; Kramer regretted years later not keeping the demo.
