- Managed by Brian Epstein, who bought his contract from Kramer's original manager, who had made Ashton practice singing while standing on a chair. Fellow NEMS artist 'John Lennon contributed the J to Kramer's stage name, and also the songs "Do You Want To Know A Secret?", " Bad To Me" , "( A Light) From A Window", and "I'll Keep You Satisfied" to his repertoire.
- Produced, with some reservations, by George Martin, who made up for the shortcomings he heard in Kramer's voice by doubletracking his vocals, and overdubbing piano highlights (speeded up, for a harpsichord effect) for the songs.
- Lead singer of '60s band Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas.
