Boys was Ringo Starr’s vocal spotlight on the Please Please Me album. It was recorded in a single take on 11 February 1963, and marked the drummer’s first recorded lead vocal.
The song was written for the US girl group The Shirelles, and was originally the b-side of their November 1960 single Will You Love Me Tomorrow. The Beatles also recorded The Shirelles’ Baby It’s You for Please Please Me.
