DAVE CLARK FIVE
Dave Clark Five - The Complete History, Vol's 1-7 (1964-1968) [1994] (7 x CD's)
For a very brief time in 1964, it seemed that the biggest challenger to the Beatles' phenomenon was the Dave Clark Five. From the Tottenham area of London, the quintet had the fortune to knock "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the British charts with "Glad All Over," and were championed (for about 15 minutes) by the British press as the Beatles' most serious threat. They were the first British Invasion band to break in a big way in the States after the Beatles, though the Rolling Stones and others quickly supplanted the DC5 as the Fab Four's most serious rivals. The Dave Clark Five reached the Top 40 17 times between 1964 and 1967 with memorable hits like "Glad All Over," "Bits and Pieces," "Because," and a remake of Bobby Day's "Over and Over," as well as making more appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show than any other English act. The DC5 were distinguished from their British contemporaries by their larger-than-life production, Clark's loud stomping drum sound, and Mike Smith's leathery vocals. Though accused by detractors of lacking finesse and hipness, they had a solid ear for melodies and harmonies and wrote much of their early material, the best of which endured quite well. Interestingly, and unusually for that era, bandleader Dave Clark managed and produced the band himself, negotiating a much higher royalty rate than artists of that period usually received. After a couple years of superstardom, the group proved unable to either keep up with the changing times or maintain a high standard of original compositions, and called it quits in 1970.
Influenced by everyone from Elvis Presley to Little Richard to Ray Charles, the DC5 became rock royalty, part of “The British Invasion” that included the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Unlike the latter two bands, however, the Dave Clark Five were endlessly passed over for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an oversight protested by music professionals and fans, particularly after they stalled in the 2006 and 2007 semifinals. Eligible since 1989 (25 years after their first US recording), the DC5 were finally inducted in a moving ceremony on March 10, 2008 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. (Amazon)

I'm sure that there is something....channeling....going on here.
ReplyDeleteI dug out some old (original 60's 7" 45's over the weekend and was playing the Dave Clark Five early ones,
Now this!
Wonderful stuff
Cheers
Stephen
The world works in mysterious ways Stephen.
DeleteBut I have to admit it happens often with us.
Enjoy the music however which way it arrives.
Cheers.
thanks for this great post of a classic band
ReplyDeleteHi doors97426,
DeleteDC5 were an amazing band. Many great songs, sometimes underappreciated.
Cheers.
'Bits And Pieces'....what a great song to blow off steam in my youth (or now for that matter). I see a lot I have not heard, so I better get to it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi efredd,
DeleteHope you will find some new tracks to listen too.
Cheers.
Many many thanxxxx Cheers Rockindoc
ReplyDeleteHi Rockindoc,
DeleteYou're very welcome.
Cheers.
Thanks
ReplyDeleteI was there, and they were not that big. I think that Amazon review was written by a fan, just a little bit overdone. Some great music but never a rival, and now I read he wasn't playing the drums on some records. Dave also bought the rights to the Ready Steady Go videos. A savvy businessman.
Many thanks for this BB
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome jack.
DeleteCheers.
BB
ReplyDeleteI already had this and forgot. It seems you are short some titles on vol 3 also I had diff art work.
I have included it here. I am so glad I can give something back even if a small thing.

Appreciated.
Cheers.
Was this ever updated as stated above? Or is the link OK as-is?
DeleteThanks for giving the Dave Clark Five some respect here. They are so overlooked!
Hi mrRadio,
DeleteIt all there, I believe.
Cheers.
Groovy
ReplyDeleteHi FiveGunsWest,
DeleteGroovy indeed.
Cheers.
Hi BB,
ReplyDeleteMany great songs, sometimes underappreciated by an amazing band...
I don't have "The Complete History", while trying to download it, I noticed that the links are dead...
If possible, can you please re-upload?
Cheers,
Werner
Hi Werner.
