Rock Clip of the Week - Dave Clark Five

Sad news from across the pond Thursday - 64-yr-old Mike Smith, former lead singer of the Dave Clark Five (soon-to-be-inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), passed away from pneumonia, a result of recent complications from a 2003 spinal cord injury.

Because of that, I'm dedicating Friday's Rock Clip of the Week to the Dave Clark Five (even though I featured DC5 in October '07). The band, which broke up in the 1970s, sold more than 100 million records and recorded 23 albums, many of them for the US market. They were a key part of the British invasion alongside the Beatles, Rolling Stones and The Animals.

Here's a fan's spin of the old DC5 45 "Can't You See That She's Mine" featuring Mike Smith on lead vocals. Epic.
