A footnote to the early history of the Beatles, teen pop singer Simone Jackson (nee Jacobs) was born in 1947, and had been performing professionally for all of five weeks when she was backed by the Fab Four at Liverpool's Cavern Club on September 12, 1962. (The evening's bill also included Freddie and the Dreamers.) Jackson's recording career for Pye was brief, and includes just three singles -- "Pop-Pop-Pop-Pie," "Ain't Gonna Kiss Ya" and "Tell Me What to Do." Little is known of her subsequent activities.

Sunset Strip on St Ouens Bay.
I had a drink with her during a ‘break’.
At the finish of the night I asked her is she would go for a coffee with me in St Helier, she said she would.
We got a lift with a few of my mates to St Helier where we all went for coffee.
Unfortunately for me, more so for Simone I had too much alcohol & when the Tab came I gave it to Simone, got up & walked out, never to see her again, for which I’m very sorry.
She was beautiful & a lovely person.
Sorry about that Simone hope your life went OK Buddy
