"It's for You" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles for Cilla Black for whom it was a UK Top Ten hit in 1964. The song was mainly a McCartney composition. Paul McCartney, who had been present at Abbey Road Studios when Cilla Black had recorded her breakthrough hit "Anyone Who Had a Heart", had written "It's for You" with John Lennon using "Anyone Who Had a Heart" as the model although Black herself has opined: "For my money, (for You' ) is nothing like the 'Anyone...' composition." On 3 June 1964 McCartney cut a demo of "It's for You" to give to Black and producer George Martin. Black recorded the song at Abbey Road Studios that 2 July with Martin producing the session and she would recall: "That was some session...John () and Paul () joined me and George Martin. We made one track and then everyone had a go at suggesting how they thought it should be recorded. George said it should be one way, John and Paul another and I just added my suggestions while they were thinking of what else they could do with the composition." Having Black, well publicized as an associate of the Beatles, record a Lennon–McCartney tune did not result in the anticipated smash hit: "It's for You" followed Black's back-to-back #1 hits: "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and "You're My World", into the Top Ten but remained there for only two weeks - 29 August & 5 September 1964 - at #8 and #7. In the US "It's for You" became Black's second single release in September 1964: although the precedent "You're My World" had reached the US Top 30, "It's for You" rose no higher on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 than #79. "It's for You" reached #17 in Australia. Although Black recorded several Beatles' songs to be album cuts she only had one later single release of a Lennon–McCartney song: "Step Inside Love" #8 in 1968. Recordings of "It's for You" as The Beatles may have performed it are available on the 1989 album by Bas Muys entitled ''Secret Songs: Lennon & McCartney''〔(Tagtuner.com )〕〔(Gnudb.org )〕 and on the 1998 release ''It's Four You'' by the Australian tribute band The Beatnix.〔(Answers.com )〕〔(Amazon.com )〕 ==Remakes== *Mina recorded an Italian rendering of "It's for You" — entitled "So che mi vuoi" — on her 1965 album, ''Studio Uno''. *Texas band The Mods recorded in 1966. *Three Dog Night recorded a version of the song for their eponymous debut album in 1969.
