Dave Clark’s band came on strong as part of the British Invasion of the early 1960s. For a while, there was speculation about whether they or the Beatles would be the bigger act. Their first big hit, Glad All Over, took over the Number One spot on the British charts from The Beatles’ I Want To Hold Your Hand when it came out in 1964. Because was originally released in Britain as the B side of Can’t You See That She’s Mine? in 1964. Clark insisted that it be released as the A side of a single in the US that year. It peaked at No. 3 on the US charts in September and also reached No. 3 in Canada. It was the band’s fifth single to sell over a million copies in the US.
They appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show just a month after The Beatles debuted there, and they played for Ed Sullivan a total of eighteen times, more than any other British band.
