The first song I equate with the DC5 is "Catch Us If You Can". But my favorite is "Anyway You Want it". Other big hits include "Bit and Pieces", "I Like it Like That", "Because", " Can't You See that She's Mine", " Over and Over", and " Do You Love Me".
For a treat, check out Tom Hanks' induction of the DC5 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a loving and amusing tribute to the band by a true fan. He also manages to work in a number of DC5 song titles.

Finally! The Dave Clark 5!! They were the hardest working band in the British Invasion only to be #2. Their 1st 4 albums in the U.S. we're pumped out in less than a year. They basically put out a single every 3 months from 1964 until 1968. They were on the heals of The Beatles until The Rolling Stones came on strong in mid 1965. A super fun group with lot of great songs. Other songs to check out are Bits and Pieces (talk about drums!), Any Way You Want It (KISS covered it), Because (ballad), Catch Us If You Can, I Like It Like That, Try Too Hard (an unsung must!). Thanks

Clark produced the concept album with Laurence Olivier, Freddie Mercury, Julian Lennon, Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder, and more. The album and its singles sold over 12 million records. The Dave Clark Five sold over 100 million records and were paid 100 % of all writing, publishing, and royalties when other groups were getting a standard between 3 and 5 %.

DC5 had such a big sound and drum driven. Vocalist looked and sounded like John Lennon. Lot of great songs And on the more romantic side, Amber, check their song Because. They really did challenge the Beatles. Released a movie, Catch Us If You Can to answer A Hard Days Night. Paul Revere and the Raiders was another talented Invasion band.

The Dave Clark Five grew in popularity in the UK. They unseated the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" from its number one spot in the UK singles charts in January 1964 with "Glad All Over".

Patti Crichton

Meanwhile, in the US. "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was no. 1 in January and their first U.S. album "MEET THE BEATLES" hit No. 1 in the US charts on Feb. 15, 1964, 6 days after their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, and stayed at No. 1 for 11 weeks, then was replaced by the "BEATLES SECOND ALBUM" at No.1

Walter Panovs

1y↑46

They sound even more like The Beatles with their catchy melodic love song "Because" from 1964. It was a #3 hit in the USA. They had 8 Top Ten USA hits and another 6 Top Twenties within a short space of time back when every act from England was crossing over big. Of course, they didn't evolve and grow the way the Beatles did so they eventually stagnated and the hits ran out by 1968 or so.

Yes, the Dave Clark Five were the big competitors with The Beatles. This song was released in 1963/1964, as a single.
It was written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith, who did the fantastic lead vocals. With the wonderful beat pounding out on the drums and the sax playing through out the song this tune went to Number 1 quickly. It sold 1,000,000 records. What a blast from the past. 🎶🎶🎶 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

Fun fact: Back in the mid '60s, it was the Dave Clark Five, not the Rolling Stones, who were the main "competition" for the Beatles crown as the top band. You did good to find these guys. They have so many great rock 'n roll songs, like "I Like It Like That," "Bits and Pieces," Reelin' and Rockin'," "Over and Over," "Any Way You Want It" and others. But they also recorded one of the best power ballads of all time in "Because." Check it out.

Also, while you're exploring the British Invasion, you MUST check out Gerry and the Pacemakers. Some of the greatest music ever. They're best remembered for "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and my favorite, "Ferry Cross the Mersey." But some of their more rockin' songs were fun, too. Like "How Do You Do It" and "I Like It." Their list of hits isn't as long as some of the others who came over during the British Invasion, but ther songs were especially memorable. Those first two titles I listed ("Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey") was some of the best baby-makin' music to come from that era.

Patti Crichton

1y↑1

They were also from Liverpool and were playing locally the same time the Beatles were (before both bands became famous. In fact, the Beatles were oringinally given "HOW DO YOU DO IT" to record by their producer George Martin. They DID record it, but it was never released officially, because they insisted on doing songs that they had written themselves. SO it was given to Gerry and the Pacemakers instead, and it was a hit for them. "Ferry 'Cross the Mersey" is about Liverpool....the MERSEY RIVER (pronounced like MerZey....not like "Mercy") runt through Liverpool. It always makes me cry. I married a Liverpudlian and have been to Liverpool several times over the years to visit the rest of his family. When he passed away, "Ferry 'Cross the Mersey" was played at his funeral. It's a lovely song, and it still makes me cry. I love the city and the people there.

The DC5 were a great band. Many tunes to hit from them. Dave is the drummer and he was a shrewd business man owning the copyrights and masters to all the songs. Bits and Pieces and Over and Over are just a couple to check. They had a few nice ballads as well. The song Because comes to mind.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I once heard it in an interesting interview. Eddy wanted to play the drums like Dave in this song, so he bought a drum kit. When he came home one day, he saw his brother Alex playing his drum kit. They had to admit that Alex played the drums better than Eddy and switched instruments.

He was wrong. Dave Clark was not a big talent. Didn't play on the first album. Didn't sing or write. Good business man though

It was sad that the band was so old and sickly was it anly 2 were able to make it to the show?

Finally! someone finally doing a DC5 review! I am so glad it was you guys. Long, long rabbit hole with this group. From 1958 to 1970. Really hit it big in 1963 with this song which kicked 2 songs from The Beatles out of #1. They were the main challengers to The Beatles, I think even more so than were The Rolling Stones. The DC5 dressed well, clean and their demeanor were "nice guys". Still important to many of us back in the day. The lead singer, Mike Smith, I think was one of the best male voices of the era and quite unrecognized. Nothing fancy about them, just good musical arrangements, vocals, - just great to listen to and "easy on the ears". They released a total of 19 studio albums with over 100mil record sales, released around 47 singles, with 15 consecutive top 10 hits, including: Over & Over, Catch us if you can, I like it like that, Because, Everybody Knows, Anyway you want it, Can't you see that she's mine, Do you love me, Bits and Pieces, and You've got what it takes. Along with the group: Paul Revere and The Raiders, they were the best alternatives to The Beatles. Sure hope you do many more reviews of this group.

They certainly were for a short time in the sixties. Many people couldn't tell the two bands apart upon hearing them. It really wasn't until the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show that they began to pull away. Admittedly, Paul and John were better song writers but TDCF were great musicians at the time.

In the 63-64 period they and the Beatles had very similar sounds. The Beatles were better songwriters and went beyond this, but if both groups had ended here they would have been neck to neck.

Glenn Gotling

1y↑6

In retrospect they aren't in the same category but at the time the DC5 was very much in the same category as the Beatles. The Beatles were managed and marketed better internationally - no doubt - with that falling on Dave Clark more than anything. But in terms of top pop hits - DC5 was right there with the Beatles on the charts for 3-4 years.

'Bits & Pieces' was one of their biggest hits - it has the distinction of being banned in the dance halls (first time I can remember it happening) as it had that same driving drum beat and involved a 'stomp' very similar to 'Glad All Over'. Most dances were held in 'ballrooms' with parquet wooden floors, and the stillettos and winklepickers were ruining the wood and gouging the varnish - hence the ban. Other sounds from the era - You'll Never Walk Alone - Gerry and the Pacemakers, Pretty Flamingo - Manfred Mann, and Halfway to Paradise - Billy Fury, have fun!

Dave Clark is the drummer, and is still with us at 83 years old. Some great comments here about the band and Dave's business acumen. He is so much more than the leader of the band and the drummer.

Once the Beatles hit, there were alot of groups that came on the scene with the same haircuts and had a couple of hits. Few had longevity. However, we do love those one/two hit wonders.

Smith Wesson

I don't know how long the Beatles were together in the UK, but I was thinking they were only together in the states from what 1963 till 1970? I mean that put out a lot of music but they didn't last a decade in the states. I guess the fame and fortune tore them apart.

The Dave Clark Five are in the RR Hall of Fame. Yes they were right there with the Beatles the first couple of years. The difference is the Beatles evolved with their music, as the DC5 basically kept the same sound. The DC5 are in the RR Hall of Fame for a reason, they had a laundry list of hits.Dave Clark was the drummer and had a great business sense. He made them some dough and invested well.

Glad you are reacting to THE DAVE CLARK FIVE. They were the first group to come to the States not long after the Beatles did, so it was more of a competition between FANS than anything else. My friends and I who were older (16) loved them BOTH....but some fans would bicker about who was better. But the BEATLES DESERVE the credit for the FIRST BRITISH BAND to EVER make it BIG in the U.S. That had NEVER happened before. SO the Beatles "OPENED THE DOOR" or "OPEN THE FLOODGATES" for all the BRITISH bands that came immediately after them during the sixties, thus coining "THE BRITISH INVASION." MIKE SMITH, (on keyboards) was primarily the LEAD SINGER, and was my favorite. DAVE CLARK was the Drummer.

David Schecter

So many great songs from this band. "Anyway You Want It" is one of the loudest rocking songs in the history of rock 'n' roll! Maybe their best song is "Try Too Hard." Great structure, performance, change in tempos, etc. Can't go wrong with the DC5!

I was just a little girl at the time watching them on the Ed Sullivan show. They were a great group. So many great songs. Keep going with them.

Check out their Sullivan appearance here on YT. It was not a live performance. The problem was, the people in charge were not able to start the song in time after they were introduced. So, they just had to just stand there for a whole minute, waiting for the record to begin... So embarrassing! 😊

A great hand clapping, foot stomping song. Music that just makes you feel good. "Over and Over," "Bits And Pieces," "Any Way You Want It," "You Got What It Takes," "Because" and "Catch Us If You Can," would be great follow-ups.

Spot on Amber. The difference between the Beatles and every other band, is the incredible growth and maturity musically. The Beatles kept innovating and pushing the musical envelope. All any of the others could was try and keep up.

To answer the question, while I like the DC5 sound, they really did not evolve (except for 1 exception). If you go further with them, ‘Bits and Pieces’ has that heavy drum sound again, as does ‘I like it like that’ (it has great vocals though). The exception is ‘Because’ , a beautiful ballad and very Beatlesque. Of course, you cant be too hard on these guys; Mike Smith, the vocalist is only 19 when singing ‘Glad all over’. So young!!

One of my favourite songs of the Sixties. According to my uncle who saw both groups live in the same set at Doncaster, the idea the Dave Clark Five were ever rivals to the Beatles was a bit overblown, but this song is certainly one of the best of the decade.

Richard B

I think the idea of a rivalry comes from them knocking "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" out of the number one spot with "Glad All Over". Their sound was very similar to the Beatles' earlier more pop sounding songs. They were also the second British Invasion band to appear on Sullivan just weeks after the Beatles and went on to make 18 appearances on that show. Also, like the Beatles, they did a movie that was directed by an up and coming British director, in this case John Boorman. I think the difference is that the Beatles were much more experimental while the DC5 were more of a pop band churning out feel good hits. But in the mid 60s, they seemed as ubiquitous as the Beatles.

This song is so aptly named because every time I've heard it over the decades it has made me feel ''Glad All Over'' and lifted my mood much higher..

Thx y’all! The Beatles phenomenon is exclusively that, phenomenal! No one can really explain it, though there are significant events that all fell in place at the right time! It’s like trying to explain the theory of everything, there isn’t one! Love you guys! Peace!

I’m glad all over that you reacted to this and liked it. One of my dear departed older sisters favorite bands back in the day. And they always make me smile.

“Any Way You Want It” is a great song. So glad you listened to this band.

I was 11 when this came out and I loved it along with The Beatle's, Beach Boys, etc. My mom took us to see the Dave Clark 5 full length movie, Wild Weekend. Dave Clark 5 were kind of "Bubble Gum" , The Archie's and Partridge Family came later but still some nice tunes.. Sugar, Sugar by the Archie's can make someone run very fast, away. DC5 never got into serious matter as far as I ever heard. They were fun.

I was a teenager when these guys (and the Beatles) hit our shores. Can’t tell you how many times I danced to this, and all of the British invasion, tunes. Great memories.. thank-you!

Kathy Rizzi

I absolutely loved the British Invasion in the 60’s. First the Beatles, then, here came all the others…gosh it was the best times of my teenage yrs. Thank you, Rob Squad! 👍🎶🎵👏👏👏💜💜🎶

I recently found your channel a few weeks ago, it's nice to see younger people such as yourself have an appreciation for older music, it's very refreshing. This is a great song, quite the foot tapper though I must admit I thought it was the Beatles myself. Glad that you spotlighted this song! Enjoying your channel. 😁

My sister listened to this band when I was a kid. I found a greatest hits record in a $1 bin a few years ago. It’s awesome!

If you like their drum sound, check out their hit "Bits And Pieces." I first heard it as a kid in the 90s and it is one of the catchiest songs ever. So good!

There was a huge competition between the DC5 and the Beatles, but it was the listener creating the competition. There was always something to sign in school, passed around.... DC5 or the Beatles. It was just so important to us which band you liked more. Thanks for the memories. 1963, definitely.!!! 8th grade.

Kelly Pedersen

This was one of the tighest bands of the British Invasion; the instrumental interplay was absolute precision.

Steve Gans

Every other band was guitar-forward, DC5 putting the drums forward gave them a unique sound. They started out doing gigs to raise money for football equipment, and they just became incredibly popular. They are worth a deep dive, they have a lot of hits. Kiss covered "Any Way You Want It" in the mid 70s.

More of the British Invasion!! The only member of the BI that comes close to The Beatles might be The Rolling Stones. This song captures the early 60's rock sound. Go to some of the Beatles' early stuff like She Loves Me and you'll see strong similarities.

Agreed, Beatles are #1 in that era but the Stones are hot on their heels.

Oh yeah, and Dave is laying down that insistent relentless heavy four-on-the-floor beat, which really gives it some punch.

And I had never noticed this before but the chorus, or at least the chord progression, reminded me of something else and it suddenly popped into my head. It was the Bay City Rollers with the huge hit they had in 1976, I only want to be with you, and the bridge in that song is kind of similar. They were a Scottish band that got started in the mid-60s. So I looked it up and it was originally a hit by Dusty Springfield who is also English, and I think it was in 1964, the same year this came out so that's interesting.

I love the style of clothes that Bands wore in that era, and the bow that they would do at the end of the performance. ♥

Aha I feel young today - y'all made me smile. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and never heard of the Dave Clark Five, but wow, they are kickin'!

cjpew

They had some great songs! Over and Over is my favorite. In the live video the dancers in silhouette behind the screen are great!

Brian Herrington

My first official rock n roll concert in late December 1964. I was a few months away from 9 years old and in the 3rd grade. My dad wore ear plugs because of all the shrieks and high pitched screams from the girls. My best friend of that time through over 60 years went with me and sadly he passed 5 and a half months ago. This one touches my heart. The DC5 outsold the Beatles in America during the year 1964.

One of the first tracks I heard, loved the drum beat…yes I’m that old 🤣

Kellie Curtis-Holmes

If you like the drum bit right before they sing Glad All Over you might just love Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titchs epic song Hold Tight (apologies if you've reacted already). They're simply incredible xxx

Alan Arakelian

The DC5's "Try Too Hard" from 1966 sounds like nothing else. Likely the band's most innovative hit. So cool.

Yolande Duffy

Another band to have a listen to from the 60s - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch 🙂 they did some great songs

What a great song of my parents' generation. My father turned 13 and mother 11 the year this came out. That drumming was nice. "Catch Us If You Can" was another one.

In the first couple of years when the Beatles hit America, the DC5 was considered the chief rival or threat to the Beatle dominance. But as the years passed by, the Beatles kept evolving & changing the direction of music. The DC5 remained with their hard-thumping music and very sweet ballads. It's tremendous music on their many wonderful albums. But the sameness didn't sustain to the audiences, and as one poster mentioned on this thread, the DC5 was pretty much done by the late 1960s. Dave Clark's vice-like grip on releasing the songs on CDs hasn't really helped introduce the DC5 to younger audiences. A lot of folks here are asking for "Because", a great song, but you can find many similar songs on their albums. All excellent music!

To answer Jay's question, The Dave Clark Five stayed with this sound.

Carolyn Phelan

I loved almost every song Dave Clark Five released. Dave is the drummer. He is easy to identify by his eyes. Very dark eyebrows and eyes. He was their producer and songwriter. They are in the Rock and Roll back of Fame. Love "Catch Us If You Can"and their ballad "Because".

Billy Donaldson

‘The Ivy League’ were another great group in their day, ‘Funny How Love Can Be’ really highlights John Carter’s falsetto voice. I saw him on YouTube recently singing this song solo, he sounded just like he did back then. ‘Tossing and turning’ was another great hit for them.
‘The Rocking Berries’ were another great sounding band, ‘He’s in town’ highlights another great falsetto voice, that of lead singer Geoff Turton. The Beatles had some great competition back then.

Diann Thomas

I was never a Beatles fan but I loved DC5. They did a ballad “Because” -that’s my favorite.

Jeanne Jorgensen

Loved this group back in the day! Grew up with this kind of music!

Love that your doing DC5!! Great song to start the discovery with. My favorite from them is “Because”. Just a perfect song!

Chris Johnson

The drums on the DC5 records were played by session man Bobby Graham. Dave Clark made him simplify everything, saying 'remember I've got to learn it so I can play it live!'

Back to my childhood with this one. Check out Chad & Jeremy singing Yesterday's Gone, Peter and Gordon singing A World Without Love (written by Lennon/McCartney), and Gerry and the Pacemakers (a band from Liverpool) singing the hauntingly melodic Ferry Cross the Mersey.

Amber and Jay, an Aussie band called Hush did a rocking cover of this song in the mid-seventies. I had actually forgotten about it until I heard this original version. You would love it!
