"The Dave Clark Five were the biggest challenge to The Beatles."
One hundred million selling band The Dave Clark Five are back with a new album called 'The Hits'.

The Hits
This carer spanning release including their No. 1 hits "Glad All Over" and "Bits and Pieces" and classic tracks like "Do You Love Me", "Don't Let Me Down", "Can't You See That You're Mine".
The Dave Clark 5 were the first English group to tour the United States, spearheading the British Invasion. During their first two years in the US they scored no less than fifteen consecutive Top Twenty hits, more than anyone except The Beatles. They took the world by storm and helped change the rock scene, blasting hit after hit over the world's radio airwaves.
Dave produced all The DC5's records and co-wrote most of them, and he also managed the group at the same time. In the UK, The Dave Clark Five achieved the seemingly impossible feat of a semi-professional outfit, without an agent or manager, logging up two consecutive No. 1 hit records. The first was "Glad All Over" ringing up cash sales in excess of two-and-a-half million records, followed by "Bits and Pieces" which repeated the success.
In 2008, Academy award winning actor Tom Hanks inducted The Dave Clark Five into The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and Paul Williams, Editor of the UK's 'Music Week', wrote: "Dave Clark was a music revolutionary before the revolution."
