The DC5 formed in 1958 in Tottenham as a backing group for North London singer Stan Saxon, by 1961 the line-up of their hit making years was established. Initially an instrumental group playing local dances, they recorded unsuccessfully for Ember and Piccadilly before signing with EMI's Columbia in 1963. Their cover of The Contours' "Do You Love Me", a staple in the repertoire of many of the British beat groups, was only a minor hit, but with "Glad All Over", written by Clark and Smith, they had the first of ten million selling singles. The record heavily featured the sounds that would become the bands' trademarks - shouts, thumping drums and Smiths husky vocals. Their toppling of the Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" from the top of the British charts led to major headlines in the British newspapers, but it was in America that the group were most successful. Promoted by more appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show (18) than any other of the "British Invasion" bands. They enjoyed a string of million sellers including "Bits And Pieces", "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Because", "Over And Over" and "Catch Us If You Can" the title song of the 1965 film starring the group. Their US hits continued until 1967 fuelled by constant touring. In Britain they continued until 1970, ranging from ballads such as "Everybody Knows" (67) to the rock 'n' roll revival-inspired "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll" (69) and "More Good Old Rock 'n' Roll" (70). Clark folded the group in 1971.
