Imeem Mix - Dave Clark Five

It's been a few weeks since I threw up a new Imeem Mix in the right column, so let's do one today. I picked Britain's great 60s band (and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers) Dave Clark Five. A lot of their big hits are here (my faves "Anyway You Want It" and "Come Home"), along with a few west of left field picks. Enjoy.

"The Dave Clark Five had 17 records in Billboard's Top 40, with 12 Top 40 United Kingdom hits between 1964 and 1967. Their song "Over And Over" went to number one in the U.S. on the Billboard Charts Hot 100 at the end of December 1965, despite less than impressive sales in the UK, and they played to sell-out crowds on their tours of the U.S. Heavily promoted as having a "cleaner" image than the Beatles, the Dave Clark Five made 18 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, more than any other UK group.

In spite of their huge success for a period, bolstered by the movie and a television special, the major hits dried up after 1967's "You Got What It Takes". The DC5's efforts to embrace the prevailing trend of psychedelia were not successful. They disbanded in 1970, having placed a further three singles on the UK chart that year."
