From Frank Mayeran, Revolving World contributor:

Mike Smith lead singer and keyboard player of The Dave Clark Five passed away yesterday, two weeks prior to being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. According to an article in the U.K.’s Telegraph; The Dave Clark Five “sold more than 100 million records, sold out five consecutive world tours and made a record 18 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.”

Note: The Dave Clark Five’s first major hit, Glad All Over, knocked the Beatles’ I Want To Hold Your Hand off the No1 spot in 1964.
