The Dave Clark 5: Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2008

The Dave Clark Quintet began in 1957. They changed their name to the Dave Clark Five (DC5) in 1962. They were the second British Invasion group to appear on Ed Sullivan after the Beatles. The DC5 charted 17 times in the Top 40.
This knocked the Beatles out of the #1 spot in 1964:

The hits began to dry up after 1967 because they did not change with the times. The DC5 broke up in 1970. Much of their catalogue remained unavailable between 1975 and 1993 because of a licensing issue. Rumors swirled that Jan Wenner blocked the DC5's induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in favor of Grandmaster Flash. The band finally made the Hall in 2008.
