Oh, and just so it gets acknowledged here - Mike Smith, singer and organist with the DC5, passed away recently from pneumonia aged 64. One of the great unacknowledged screamers in Britbeat (see “Do You Love Me?” - much better than weedy Brian Poole and the Trems - or “Bits And Pieces” for proof) and it’s a real shame he didn’t survive to attend the group’s RnR Hall of Fame induction. RIP, big man.

I heard this again last night and I love the pause between “Oh yes I am” and “Glad all over” - like he’s actually taking a moment to think of how to describe how completely wonderful he feels.

For about a month the DC5 were hailed as the Tottenham Sound that would topple the Mersey Sound.Then Dave Clark -always more a business man than a musician -quickly set about establishing the group as the respectable face of British pop in America, alongside Herman’s Hermits - cleanliving young men out to make a lot of money.Bits and Pieces was OK but after that their credibility was shot
