The Dave Clark Five immerged in 1964 and pretty soon it became rather successful, appreciated both by musical critics and mass media, in fact the band had a lot of fans, especially in their home country. As a matter of fact the band The Dave Clark Five was obviously a copy of a very popular band of all times called the Beatles.
The Dave Clark Five (all of the members) had a good ear for music), besides they composed the music and wrote the texts of their songs themselves, and their music was known as really good, especially their early one, which was melodic powerful, beautiful, gorgeous, individual, etc. And what is concerned about the texts- the material was rather good, and suitable.
The Dave Clark Five’s member Dave Clark managed and produced the band himself. That was obviously a great plus for the band, as they had a great opportunity to discuss all the questions within the band. But in the 70th the band failed to live to the high expectations of the contemporary society and it disbanded in 1970.
The Dave Clark Five debuted with such singles as "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Glad All Over" which were considered to be real hits and topped the British charts. The band was constantly compared with the Beatles, but although they said that the Rolling Stones were much more stronger.
The Dave Clark Five issued a lot of hits. Duting 1964 and 1967 the band topped the charts seventeen times with such songs, for instance, as "Glad All Over," "Bits and Pieces," "Because," and a remake of Bobby Day's "Over and Over". So during those years the band was the chief topic for discussion for the press.
The Dave Clark Five had a lot of strength which made them popular and successful, but the most valuable in the band were Mike Smith's leathery vocals, which was considered to be really strong and professional, and Clark's drum sound, which was known as very loud, even shouting and powerful.
