John Lennon penned the first song that was recorded by the Fourmost. The second single that they recorded was a song composed by Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon. However, the Beatles did not record it. The song was called 'I'm In Love' and it soon made its way to the popularity charts. With each of their subsequent releases, the band gained in popularity. Some of the other musical hits delivered by the band included singles like 'Baby I Need Your Loving', 'How Can I Tell Her?' and 'Girls, Girls, Girls'.
After a period of time, McCartney wishing to produce a song for the band called 'Rosetta' ended up playing the piano for them. The song hardly managed to make a mark on the musical charts. Post 1970s the band slowly began to fade away from the limelight as some of the key members began to part ways. Brian O' Hara was the only one left representing the face of The Fourmost.
