Grateful I was thrilled when I read that this book would be coming out as I've always been a huge fan of Billy J.'s and The Dakotas records. I ordered it and was initially disappointed at it being no thicker than a pencil (exaggeration), assuming it was going to be another ego-I-love-myself-so -I'm-writing-this-having-not-much-to-say-but-think-I'm- great-as- I-was . "I really enjoyed this book" according to Diane M. Boisclair. I really enjoyed this book. I was not overly familiar with Billy J Kramer but always like Bad to Me and Little Children.

Kramer (born William Ashton) tells his rags to riches story, from his working class childhood in Liverpool to the racy world of international pop music.

Kramer's autobiography, 'Do You Want to Know a Secret,' provides not only Billy's own story, but what he witnessed first-hand of the Beatles, Lennon and McCartney in particular, who wrote most of Billy's greatest songs. "He was the most handsome man on stage, and well-dressed too." Ringo Starr "Billy J. His enthusiasm and youthful outlook are so inspiring and (thankfully) contagious. We're fortunate indeed that Billy has given us such a vibrant, colorful, incisive, and fact-filled book." ---Paul Levinson, Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress
