Dave Clark Five

Whilst we followed them because of the local involment, for me it was (and still is) the Stones. It appears that DC5 were bigger in the USA, even bigger than the Beatles.

Mrsmopp - you were so lucky to be a Liverpool girl and able to go to the Cavern at lunchtimes. Did you see The Beatles????

Yes we saw them before they were famous. We didnt want them to get famous because we knew then they would leave Liverpool and we would lose them. There were crowds of us outside the Cavern the day they got rid of Pete Best. They just took off just after that. Always felt so sorry for Pete- he was beautiful and the girls loved him. Could anyone be as unlucky as him- to be dumped on the threshold of fame and fortune?

Dave Clark seems to have used the same cosmetic surgeon as Gary Glitter! Look at the eyebrows!

Media images of people like Dave really annoy me, they always print the worst images. If you find an image of him smiling, the old Dave is still there. This was taken earlier this year :- www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/3701092/Dave-Clark-Why-I-turned-down-a-gong-from-Harold-Wilson.html

The press did the same thing to Judy Finnigan , published images taken to show the worst. If they were younger they would have been airbrushed to take out the imperfections, one rule for the young another for us oldies.

I thought they were OK. I liked Mike Smith and would sing along with Glad All Over etc but found them a bit boring. I was a Beatles gal. Was this programme a repeat? All the interviews look very old but when I looked it up on Wiki it said 2014.

Chance this could be number one at Christmas but need one last push from people to download, from I tunes, Amazon or google play, let's do it. Would be great!

Mike Smith was my favourite, thought Dave Clark a bit weird looking

What could be number one at Christmas?

The first record I ever bought was Bits and Pieces. Always liked Dave Clark, nice hair and a lovely smile. Music wasn't bad either. Thought Mike Smith looked a bit too "grown up".

The original Glad all over single by DC5 could be 2016 christmas number one.
Currently at the number two spot
11.59 pm this evening is the cut off for down loading or buying cd.

Well I'm glad all over if this is a return to the popular music standards of the 60s - much better than the current offerings.
Whether it's the Dave Clark 5, Beatles, Hollies, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones or whatever. They're full of life!

I don't think it's the original Dave Clark Five Glad all Over that's trying to be number one at Christmas - from what I've found out from googling it's sung by some football club or other...

I didn't see this programme but this thread has brought back a forgotten memory of going to see my Aunty, Uncle and two cousins of close to our age. They were better off than us and had a record player and records. I remember repeatedly dancing to (stamp, stamp!)'Glad all Over' and also 'Bits and Pieces' which for some reason we sang as 'Bits anata Pieces'. To this day I have no idea what Dave Clark or his Five looked like.
