YES! Totally agree on all three! My mom got me listening to them. She said they were part of the British invasion as well as the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones.
This song came out when I was around 15. Big hit. I have been a musician pretty much all of my life. I am 72 now. All of these old songs mean so much to me in my life. Thank you for what you do. It's always nice to see someone discover something new to them that I have loved for so many years.
@@alexb8689 It was a great time for music but I did grow up watching a war televised on the 6 o'clock news. Then if you didn't have the money to go to college, you worried about the draft. Plus, the riots of the mid 60's. I was drafted and ended up going to the war I watched with horror every night on TV. Yes, the music was great but society had its problems.
The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show twice. Dave Clark Five were on it eighteen times, if my memory serves me right. I was a kid when ROCK was rolling strong .the music i heard then was new and now its known as the golden oldies .
oh you guys have definitely got to listen to the DC5 Glad all over , Can't you see that's she's mine , Bits n Pieces , Catch us if you can , they are hip swingers and will bring a smile to your face , 17 top 40 US hits they were ripping it up between 1964 - 1968
Hi S & M. The Dave Clark 5 knocked the Beatles 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' off the top of the U K charts in January 1964. The song was Glad All Over. A rip roaring 2:45 second song that helped fuel the first wave of the 'British Invasion' that swept North America in the Spring of 1964. I highly recommend it. RNB
I'm Glad All Over that you mentioned The DC 5 but I am in Bits And Pieces that you did not also mention Any Way You Want It, Because Everybody Knows, this was also by The Boys. Catch Us If You Can 😀
Sorry but Dave, by his own admission, didn't write anything. He had a ghost writer named Ron Ryan who wrote Because. Ron's brother was the original guitarist for the DC5. I do have a suggestion, turn the record over and play Theme Without a Name. It's one of the few times their guitarist Lenny Davidson gets to play a solo since most of the time it was the keyboard playing of Mike Smith or the sax of Dennis Payton. It also shows they weren't afraid to try different things - it is mostly an instrumental. One final fact - Mike Smith did MOST of the lead vocals but 2 of the 4 remaining group members got to sing lead on songs that ended up in the top 10 (mostly in England). Dave sang lead in the chorus of The Red Balloon (#2 on the British charts), Lenny got to sing lead on Everybody Knows (they did 2 songs with the that title, this one was NOT written by the group but it also reached #2 on the charts in England). In case you didn't know, Dave Clark formed the group, played the drums and sang, managed the group, and produced the records.
Another great British rock band from the 60's. I had their greatest hits album. Lots of great songs such as "Glad All Over", "Over & Over", "Everybody Get Together", "I Knew It All the Time"; "Do You Love Me", "Bits & Pieces", "Stay", "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Any Way You Want It", "Because", "The Red Balloon", "Everybody Knows", "I Like It Like That", "Catch Us If You Can" etc.
My favorite 60s band. I was so in love with the late Mike Smith. If you want to see something amazing, watch Tom Hank's inducting the DC5 in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. DC5 is best watching live, by the way.
I love this song! My mom told me that this was her and her first boyfriend's song. She was in middle school. It always makes me think of sweet young love. So cute!
Lil bit of soul by the Music Explosion,Who's that lady by The Isley Brothers, Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sedaka, Country Boy by Glen Campbell, are also a few good songs. Southern Nights by Glen Campbell.
One of my favorite songs from the mid-60s. The group was a part of the so-called British Invasion -- a myriad of singers & bands from England coming to America on the wings of The Beatles' enormous popularity. They brought lots of great music, & musicians, too, including: The Rolling Stones, the Who, Herman's Hermits, the Hollies, the Animals, & Cream, as well as solo singers like Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Tom Jones, and Donovan -- to name but a few.
Dave Clark was a very close friend of our Freddie 💛Mercury. Freddie himself was a fan of Dave Clark, whose band was once seen as The Beatles’ biggest rivals. Clark and Mercury had been friends since meeting in 1976 after a Queen concert in London’s Hyde Park, though they became close working together in 1985 recording the soundtrack album for Clark’s musical Time, including the title song with its poignant line ‘We’ve not spoken about it at all, the fact that time is running out for us all’. ‘Freddie was larger than life and yet he was very kind and caring. The thing I really miss about him is his enthusiasm. He had an amazing sense of humor and he always made you laugh. He didn’t take life too seriously. He lifted your spirits up.’ Freddie once said, ‘I don’t expect to make old bones.’ But Clark dismisses this as the sort of off-the-cuff statement any young rock star might make.
Dave Clark Five is another band from the UK and the British Invasion. This song was released 1964. Glad All Over is an upbeat hit of theirs. They also starred in the 1965 movie Catch Us if You Can that was named after their hit song of the same name.
@jtclaf Beautiful ballad by ghostwriter Ron Ryan that stands the test of time! Perfect vocals by Mike Smith with Lenny Davidson backing him. If you listen really closely, you’ll hear that second voice 🎶🥰🎶
@donnabruhn6907 I’m 72 and it is so great that another generation (or two) is enjoying the tunes I grew up with! Here’s a nice compilation of DC5 songs to enjoy th-cam.com/video/vJzSaV3YCCc/w-d-xo.html
I was 15 and building my guitar repertoire when this came out. Learned it right away. I loved the chord progression, thought it was very nice songwriting. 👍
The Dave Clark V were part of the "British Invasion" music of the early 1960's which of course started with The Beatles. I was around 13 years old when this band was popular. My older sister loved this group. Glad you appreciate this music. I don't even know what auto tone is. Heard a couple of people talk about that. Try some girl groups from the 1960's like The Chantelles, The Ronettes and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. So much great, happy music from that era.
This is my favorite Dave Clark Five song. I recently learned it and beleieve it or not it sounds great on the ukelele. As others have suggested, Catch Us if You Can is another favorite from DC5.
Loved them then, love them now. Yes, they were 60s ... part of the British invasion ... such great music, great times. Try watching their other songs live if you can - they are on You Tube.
Wow! You're going way back huh? I remember that one! Keep doing what you're doing. Being flexible.😉❤ Oh, here's a request! Diane Schuur with the Count Basie Orchestra playing "Climbing Higher Mountains." Or..... you guys might really love her singing "Hard Driving Mama." That baby rocks!!!! 🙏
*I listened to Dave Clark Five often, way back in the 60s....they have some really good songs: Glad All Over__Bits and Pieces__Catch Us If You Can__Can't You See She's Mine__Any Way You Want It__I Like It Like That__Over and Over__Everybody Knows.*
I was ten years old when this first came out back in (1964). It went to number 3 on Billboards top 100. They are one of the great groups that came from England as part of the British Invasion back in the 60's. "Glad All Over' was another big hit for them.
One of the best from the 60's, smooth and beautiful. Check out Roy Orbison " In Dreams" if you haven't already. So much good music from the 60's, both Pop and R&B.
Dave Clark made a documentary about the British Invasion of which they were right on top, with the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Yardbirds, Zombies, King Crimson, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and a few others. Dave was talking about how they were determined to raise the spirit of Americans, who was still in shock over the assassination of JFK in November of '63. So in January of '64, two months later, the charts went from Pat Boone to The Beatles, Dave Clark 5, and so on. It was foot-stompin' music, and their songs had weird echo effects. It catered to the youthful exuberance that characterized young boomers, who were shuffling off the shackles of a moribund and waning monoculture. Brilliant choice as always. Peace and love. db
1964. The DC5 were chief competitors of the Beatles at the height of their debut fame and at one point replaced them at the top the pop music charts. As I've mentioned I lived in England as a kid at that time. Thanks for more nostalgia.
Beautiful, classic love song written by Ron Ryan. That’s Mike Smith on vocals backed by Lenny Davidson. If you listen closely you can hear that second voice.
Such a great British Invasion band. They had many hits. Dave Clark was also a very smart business man. He made sure they retained all the copyrights to their music where so many got screwed by the big record companies and had nothing to show for their hard work.
This song came out in 1963 and was part of the "British Invasion" following the success of the Beatles. They had a few hits but sort of fizzled out. The harmonies on this song are great.
My first official rock n roll pop concert was the DC5 in December of 1964 and I was a 8 year old 3rd grader and all you could hear were girls screaming. My mother was a ticket agent with the group that promoted them and my best friend from childhood ( 3 years old) till our early 20s went with me and my poor father had to endure the high ear piercing screams of the girls throughout the 30 minute show which you could not hear as in those days acts played thru the house PAs very primitive. That friend I’m about to lose to cancer and I just had to comment on this given present day.
For a while in early 1960s America, there was a raging debate over who was the best, The Beatles or The Dave Clark Five. I recall people arguing about it. The really rebellious types would add in The Rolling Stones. Now many people remember The Beatles, but few recall DC5.
They were the second group to come over during the British Invasion they were on The Ed Sullivan Show more than any other group they were one of the only bands to own their own music Dave Clark bought all his rights to his own music so you won't get blocked so play their music live from The Ed Sullivan Show every song was a hit
This band was soooo good. "Glad All Over" was an amazing song 🎵 Please could you react to that one (if you haven't already done it) xxx EDIT Great reaction, as ever. ❤
S & M...if you're gonna go Dave Clarke Five, you MUST react to Bits and Pieces and make sure it's a studio version!!!! Also check out their song Glad All Over!!
this group could have been where the Beatles ended up. They were touring America the 6 months before the Beatles ever came to America. They sold 6 million records in that 6 months but due to touring commitments had to go back to Europe, which left Americans starving for this new kind of British rock. Then, the Beatles showed up... Dave Clark somehow got all the rights to the music he created, unheard of at the time, most bands were lucky to get 3-5 %..
At school, some kids liked The Dave Clark Five over The Beatles. The DC5 were from the London area and had a seemingly classier image and a mostly driven and power sound. The Beatles were from Northwestern seaport Liverpool where returning ship workers would bring back influential US Rock and Roll records. Because was a DC5 ballad that went to #3 on Billboard in 1964 (a great sound and feel, a personal favorite of mine). When CDs first came out, no DC5 material was available for years until Dave Clark, who owned the rights, authorized their release.
Per Wikipedia "Because" was written with the intention of being the Dave Clark Five's fifth US single, but the band's label, Epic Records, was initially resistant, believing the ballad strayed too far from the hit-making formula that had proven successful with the band's previous upbeat singles. In May 1964, the song was released in the UK as the B-side to "Can't You See That She's Mine". Clark insisted that "Because" be released as an A-side in the US, and Epic eventually agreed. KThe single entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number sixty in August, and peaked six weeks later at number three. "Because" became the band's fifth US single to sell more than one million copies.
NO reactors EVER do The Dave Clark Five. TRY "CAN'T YOU SEE THAT SHE'S MINE." Yes this was the '60s. THE DAVE CLARK FIVE, they were the first to come to the U.S. immediately after the BEATLES first came in 1964 and they ALSO debuted on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW just as THE BEATLES did. They were PART of the "BRITISH INVASION" that the BEATLES STARTED. They had SO MANY GREAT SONGS! The single covers and album covers they showed in this video, I have them all, bought at the time they came out!! I am a HUGE BEATLES' fan, but I LOVE the DAVE CLARK FIVE TOO, plus ALL the OTHER "BRITISH INVASION" groups and singers, like: The Rolling Stones.(especially during the '60s)...The Kinks....Herman and the Hermits.....The Searchers....The Hollies.....The Yardbirds.....Chad and Jeremy......Peter and Gordon......Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders.....Gerry and the Pacemakers....Cilla Black.....Dusty Springfield.....Petula Clare.....Lulu....Sandy Shaw.....The Moody Blues.....Freddie and the Dreamers.....The Tremeloes..... Mary Hopkin....ALL from the Britain and the UK ( I KNOW I have MISSED some here. The '60s was from my teen to early 20s years (13 to 22...1960 through 1969) I would LOVEt to see you react to MORE of THE DAVE CLARK FIVE and THE BEATLES, plus the OTHER groups and singers I mentioned above. I GUARANTEE you will LIKE/LOVE ALL of them. LOVE you guys!!
Shawn & Mel, you'll love their "Glad All Over", "Bits And Pieces" and "Catch Us If You Can"!!
Add to that Needles and Pins
Bits and Pieces.
YES! Totally agree on all three! My mom got me listening to them. She said they were part of the British invasion as well as the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones.
Yep all their songs are really good👍❤️
@@kirpalite That was by the Searchers!
Yes. ’60’s. More innocent time. Good band!
This group was part of the British invasion in the mid 60's. You just cannot go wrong with them. There songs to me have "that felling" when they sing.
I still find myself singing this
This song came out when I was around 15. Big hit. I have been a musician pretty much all of my life. I am 72 now. All of these old songs mean so much to me in my life. Thank you for what you do. It's always nice to see someone discover something new to them that I have loved for so many years.
Same Same only I am 2 yr older. From about '61-75 it was magic .
I envy you,you lived through some wonderful years when music was pure and came from the heart, I lived through the 90s,not too bad
@@frederickbays405 Yes, It truly was.
@@alexb8689 It was a great time for music but I did grow up watching a war televised on the 6 o'clock news. Then if you didn't have the money to go to college, you worried about the draft.

i am 26 now and i still love this song❤
I still get goosebumps hearing this song. Just beautiful ❤❤❤
The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show twice. Dave Clark Five were on it eighteen times, if my memory serves me right. I was a kid when ROCK was rolling strong .the music i heard then was new and now its known as the golden oldies .

Dave Clark is the drummer and Mike Smith the lead singer. Dave & Mike wrote much of their music. Another hit was 'Can't You See that She's Mine'.
I'm Glad All Over that you mentioned The DC 5 but I am in Bits And Pieces that you did not also mention Any Way You Want It, Because Everybody Knows, this was also by The Boys.

This song actually cmae out in the summer of 1964, at least in Canada. My favorite British Invasion band.
I'm 74, I learned to play this song to impress my honey in 1964. Simple love song that says so much.
Another great British rock band from the 60's. I had their greatest hits album. Lots of great songs such as "Glad All Over", "Over & Over", "Everybody Get Together", "I Knew It All the Time"; "Do You Love Me", "Bits & Pieces", "Stay", "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Any Way You Want It", "Because", "The Red Balloon", "Everybody Knows", "I Like It Like That", "Catch Us If You Can" etc.

Great, great song from a fantastic group....
Brings back sweet memories of school dances, football games and cruising with my girl.
DC5 also did some real stompers. Try "Glad All Over"
Lil bit of soul by the Music Explosion,Who's that lady by The Isley Brothers, Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sedaka, Country Boy by Glen Campbell, are also a few good songs. Southern Nights by Glen Campbell.

Dave Clark Five from the 60s my high school years some great songs that we all loved, they had some really big hits you need to react to
IMO, the best ballad to come out of the entire British Invasion.
@jtclaf
Beautiful ballad by ghostwriter Ron Ryan that stands the test of time! Perfect vocals by Mike Smith with Lenny Davidson backing him. If you listen really closely, you’ll hear that second voice 🎶🥰🎶
Saw them perform live back in the day they have some great songs ❤️❤️

So many of these remind you of
Periods of your life.

I was 7, heading for Toronto, Canada from Crawley, Sussex, UK 'round this time - spring '64. Great music, great band(s).
One of my favorites growing up check out bits and pieces live and I love how they would keep time with their boot-stomping
Lindos! I love it!
I was 15 and building my guitar repertoire when this came out. Learned it right away. I loved the chord progression, thought it was very nice songwriting. 👍

Another good song is Sweet City Woman by The STAMPEDERS but this one is from the 70s,1973.
Rockers from the Dave Clark Five-anyway You Want It, Reelin & rockin, Don't Let Me Down and Doctor Rhythm-plus a killer instrumental On The Move.
Absolutely right it was in the 60’s… a simpler and beautiful time❤️all the British bands came to the US
One of the best British Invasion groups. Catchy songs, great Mike Smith vocals and keyboards, and that great saxophone used as a rhythm instrument.
1964. The DC5 were chief competitors of the Beatles at the height of their debut fame and at one point replaced them at the top the pop music charts.

I love time travel, into the past. LOL Great band, they had some really great songs.
Such a great British Invasion band. They had many hits. Dave Clark was also a very smart business man. He made sure they retained all the copyrights to their music where so many got screwed by the big record companies and had nothing to show for their hard work.
This song came out in 1963 and was part of the "British Invasion" following the success of the Beatles. They had a few hits but sort of fizzled out. The harmonies on this song are great.
Dave Clark 5 glad all over
There was a Dave Clark Five movie in 1965, "Having a Wild Weekend."
My first official rock n roll pop concert was the DC5 in December of 1964 and I was a 8 year old 3rd grader and all you could hear were girls screaming. My mother was a ticket agent with the group that promoted them and my best friend from childhood ( 3 years old) till our early 20s went with me and my poor father had to endure the high ear piercing screams of the girls throughout the 30 minute show which you could not hear as in those days acts played thru the house PAs very primitive.

For a while in early 1960s America, there was a raging debate over who was the best, The Beatles or The Dave Clark Five. I recall people arguing about it. The really rebellious types would add in The Rolling Stones. Now many people remember The Beatles, but few recall DC5.
Great reaction.
This Most Definitely Has A 60's Flower Power Vibes For Such As Groups Like Blood, Sweat And, Tears For Example.
Because beautiful :)
I've never heard this song but the b side of the record was a big hit in the UK. 'Glad All Over'.
Here in the colonies, the flip side was Theme Without a Name; an instrumental.
They were part of the British Invasion in the 60's. The Spencer Davis Group is another great group from the British Invasion
This song is the most structured song ever.
They were the second group to come over during the British Invasion they were on The Ed Sullivan Show more than any other group they were one of the only bands to own their own music Dave Clark bought all his rights to his own music so you won't get blocked so play their music live from The Ed Sullivan Show every song was a hit
Ahhh the 60s those are the best days
This band was soooo good. "Glad All Over" was an amazing song 🎵 Please could you react to that one (if you haven't already done it) xxx EDIT
Great reaction, as ever. ❤
try Catch Us If You Can next please
Another great UK band riding the wave of the '60's British Invasion.
S & M...if you're gonna go Dave Clarke Five, you MUST react to Bits and Pieces and make sure it's a studio version!!!! Also check out their song Glad All Over!!
They were great in the 60's

Try "can't you see that she's mine" love the invasion!
The vogues would be a good band to do next. There song five o'clock world I just love.
❤❤❤❤
Glad all over is a top top tunnneee by these
In 1964 the Beatles took center stage yet the Dave Clark 5 had more songs in the top 10 than the Beatles.
At school, some kids liked The Dave Clark Five over The Beatles. The DC5 were from the London area and had a seemingly classier image and a mostly driven and power sound. The Beatles were from Northwestern seaport Liverpool where returning ship workers would bring back influential US Rock and Roll records.

When CDs first came out, no DC5 material was available for years until Dave Clark, who owned the rights, authorized their release.
Mike Smith had a great rock voice. Check out some of their rockers
Similar 60's sound is Peter and Gordon with songs I Go to Pieces 1965 and A World Without Love 1964
My favorite song from DC5
Their music is amazing. A rabbit hole you should go down. Fun fact: Dave Clark is the drummer, not one of the lead singers.
This group was as big as the Beatles early on.
My favorite. I always preferred the DC5 to the Beatles.
Per Wikipedia "Because" was written with the intention of being the Dave Clark Five's fifth US single, but the band's label, Epic Records, was initially resistant, believing the ballad strayed too far from the hit-making formula that had proven successful with the band's previous upbeat singles.

They get overlooked by a lot of reactors. Which is a pity because they have missed out.
Shawn and Mel
Just curious what made you chose the Dave Clark Five? Great choice in my book!
😍
NO reactors EVER do The Dave Clark Five. TRY "CAN'T YOU SEE THAT SHE'S MINE." Yes this was the '60s. THE DAVE CLARK FIVE, they were the first to come to the U.S. immediately after the BEATLES first came in 1964 and they ALSO debuted on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW just as THE BEATLES did. They were PART of the "BRITISH INVASION" that the BEATLES STARTED. They had SO MANY GREAT SONGS! The single covers and album covers they showed in this video, I have them all, bought at the time they came out!! I am a HUGE BEATLES' fan, but I LOVE the DAVE CLARK FIVE TOO, plus ALL the OTHER "BRITISH INVASION" groups and singers, like: The Rolling Stones.(especially during the '60s)...The Kinks....Herman and the Hermits.....The Searchers....The Hollies.....The Yardbirds.....Chad and Jeremy......Peter and Gordon......Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders.....Gerry and the Pacemakers....Cilla Black.....Dusty Springfield.....Petula Clare.....Lulu....Sandy Shaw.....The Moody Blues.....Freddie and the Dreamers.....The Tremeloes..... Mary Hopkin....ALL from the Britain and the UK ( I KNOW I have MISSED some here. The '60s was from my teen to early 20s years (13 to 22...1960 through 1969) I would LOVEt to see you react to MORE of THE DAVE CLARK FIVE and THE BEATLES, plus the OTHER groups and singers I mentioned above. I GUARANTEE you will LIKE/LOVE ALL of them. LOVE you guys!!
Dave Clark 5 can’t you see that she’s mine
Can you please react to anything by The Association, another great band from the 60s.
I think -- not 100% sure -- that the Beatles (Lennon/McCartney) wrote this song. I know they wrote for other British groups, like Peter & Gordon, too.
Try Bits and Pieces!!!!!!!!!
You need to check out Nicolette Larson singing Lotta Love I think that you will really enjoy this one
DO YOU LOVE ME IS A GOOD ONE
That was deep but it was nice
Check out the Buckingham s Mercy Mercy Mercy please
they were knighted before the Beatles were
They just don't write or perform them like this anymore.
Sad...
