The Dave Clark Five - Anyway You Want It

[professordumbledorf]

Thank God for the Dave Clark Five. They were front and center of the British Invasion of America in 1963-64 I don't think rock and roll would have survived the sixties w/o this high energy sound from over the pond.I distinctly remember hearing them before the Beatles or Rolling Stones.

[johnnystaccata]

These guys were really good. I also like some of their later material, like Come Home.

@JimBronson6 Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark both outshined Cilla in the US.

Because Dave Clark retains the publishing rights and doesn't release old albums of The DC5, many forgot just how big they were. Between 1964-1966 they were The Beatles biggest competators for popularity. I think there music of this time was just uplifting fun music that got you going. If you don't get a charge out of a song like "Anyway you want it" somethings wrong with you. Yes the Beatles evolved past them, but when they were good they were great!

Now why do they not make music like this any more? Children today wouldn't know good rock n roll if it bit them on the nose.

such memories. they were my fav band at the time. beatles were my sisiters

[bondurango]

This is rock and roll the way it was meant to be.

[francie18]

perfect record!!!!

[naderchaser]

What do you mean, they had no cords or cables attached to the instruments back then...sure they did. At least the bands I was in did. Hell, all of them did. What you're looking at on this vid is the entire band lip-syncing to a recording. Notice their lips are not in sync with this studio recording that is blaring out to the studio audience. None of those instruments are hooked up live...in this vid. Too funny.

[djmcquade1]

Even after how many decades, this is still a kick ass piece of music!

[01dcfan]

Love this song..........Love the DC Five. Great memories! Thanks for sharing.

[u000drl]

ah, the great sixties high tech era when electronic instruments didn't need any cords or cables attached to them!  Of note; don't recall any other group where they fronted the drummer and lead singer.

[Randythewildhorse]

Its all right and thats the way it will be! Super great song!

[ct70h4spd]

This is Rock and Roll by the genius performers who knew how to do it!!!!!

[socrates1818]

What a machine this band is! Unreal, straight power! Who wrote this and their other tunes?

[BobBerkeley]

@socrates1818 Dave Clark wrote this scorcher.

[shaneh1983]

[MikeBlitzMag]

One of rock and roll's absolute masterpieces, and one of the high watermarks of the Dave Clark Five's impeccable recorded canon. Love it!!

[kurskss]

..that's because AM radio played songs that were mixed exactly for that type of speaker/setting etc.!!

[oldermusiclover]

@kurskss AMEAN BRO. I usually hate

the older stuff mixed today because it

doesnb't always sound right. Never heard

any other band get the Reverb sound they

did

[Klattu]

Music was fun and uplifting!!!

Kept you happy all day.

Even on tiny single speakers in the center of dash it sounded great!
