You can see the chart impression UK acts were making on the American charts compared to just a couple of years previously when hardly any UK act appeared. The Beatles lead the way with 4 songs, but the Stones are there, plus The Animals,Dave Clark, Gerry & Pacemakers, Billy J and Dusty. :D

A few interesting songs in here....

 

 

15.(34) The Kinks - You Really Got Me....sheer class :cheer:

 

Ray Davies is one of the best British songwriters ever.

 

17.(15) Merseybeats - Wishin' And Hopin' :unsure:

 

You'd recognise it if you heard it.

 

 

19.(27) Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By....not bad

 

I love this version of the song. The voice is heavily influenced by nicotine among other things but it suits the song.

 

 

22.(13) The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun....classic :yahoo:

 

Can't disagree with that :)

 

 

28.(35) The Zombies - She's Not There...always liked this one, very underated band :thumbup:

 

I still prefer the Santana version

 

 

32.(24) Roy Orbison - It's Over....good song by Roy

 

One of many

 

 

34.(33) Ken Dodd - Happiness...hated him singing,especially this one

 

The Paul Whitehouse version used as a theme tune for the series of the same name was better

 

 

40.(NE) Herman's Hermits - I'm Into Something Good...this was ok :)

 

The first record I ever bought was by Herman's Hermits. But not this one.

 

 

44.(48) Cilla Black - You're My World...one of her better songs

 

Not necessarily saying much :lol:

 

august 64 was right in the heart of the beat boom, although merseybeat had probabally peaked , there was still plenty around. the new r&b groups were coming through and class pop acts like the kinks were making their mark too.

 

old rock n rollers were still in evidence, elvis, cliff (in r&r mode), del shannon, crickets, everleys ...

 

dusty was awesome, 'i just dont know what to do with myself' is a beautiful, earnest, wistful track that oozes emotion and her vocals capture the mood perfectly.

 

'wishin and hopin' was also covered by dusty...imho better then the merseybeats.

 

 

and 'i just dont know what to do with myself' ..... pity she appears to be miming, ive seen her (on tv) performing it live and its amazing. she could teach these x factor wannabes a thing or two!

the honeycombes got to the top spot with 'have i the right', uniquely with a female drummer, a great beat track.

 

i dont know most of the new entries, but one stands out.... the supremes starting their chart runs with their first hit 'where did our love go', one of my favs.

the honeycombes got to the top spot with 'have i the right', uniquely with a female drummer, a great beat track.

 

Great tune. Actually bought it in 1977 by Dead End Kids!

 

 

Kelly by Wayne Gibson. Never heard of it but assume it's the same guy who had a hit with Under My Thumb in 1974.

Great tune. Actually bought it in 1977 by Dead End Kids!

Kelly by Wayne Gibson. Never heard of it but assume it's the same guy who had a hit with Under My Thumb in 1974.

 

it is, the flip was 'see you later aligator' (to 'kelly') , under my thumb was originally realeased in 66.

1964, on tour in the USA The Beatles appeared at The Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Days before the concert, Philadelphia had experienced race-riots, The Beatles, who were Civil Rights supporters, were shocked to see that their audience of 13,000 is completely white.

 

1964, The Rolling Stones recorded their version of the Willie Dixon song ‘Little Red Rooster’ at Regent Sound Studios in London, England.

 

Kelly was originally written and recorded by Del Shannon (on the b side of his 1963 hit Two Kinds Of Teardrop) Under My Thumb was a Rolling Stones song.

the kinks take over the top spot from the honeycombes with their first #1.

 

roy orbisons 'oh pretty woman', a 60's standard, enters the charts on its way to the top, but is not the highest new entry... that goes to an unknown brenda lee track!

 

also the newbeats 'bread and butter' enters.

i must advertise this track.... cilla black 'its for you', i know its unfashionable to like cillas rather...unique voice lol, but this track is actually very good, capturing the mid 60's sound perfectly.

 

another great lennon/mccartney composition

 

this is hilarious!

 

the newbeats 'bread and butter'... it was always a song for nostalgia only as its rubbish... but just look at this performance..

 

if you cross franki valli with alan tracey from thunderbirds, youll get the wooden lead singer! :lol:

 

Is it that Newbeats song ITV are using in the trailer to the new series of Britians Best Dish?

Edited by fiesta

Is it that Newbeats song ITV are using in the trailer to the new series of Britians Best Dish?
