Excellent version. Good song what play DC5. Dave Clark very nice drummer and Mike Smith great singer. Unforgettable group.

@TheBeatle49

I like how HEAVY they make everything! Huge bass guitar.

@vincentramirez9475

They were the rock icons of the 60's. They were better than the Beatles and Rolling Stones period.

@mikebarooshian7255

@vincentramirez9475 I think dc5 are better then the Beatles but I love The Rolling Stones my 2 favorite bands are The Rolling Stones and The Dave Clark 5 there both better then the Beatles period

@geoffcook3469

If there was a better voice in pop music than the great Mike Smith I have yet to hear it.

@RockinProfessor

You need to raise the bar a bit.....he could sing well enough for his band but was not anything special.

@midianholic

Fuck off spakka

@GingerRum

RockinProfessor Mike Smith could have either been lead singer in a number of groups or a solo artist.
