Catch Us If You Can - The Dave Clark Five 1965

Details

Description

"Catch Us If You Can", by The Dave Clark Five (DC5), was one of the group's top hits. The song reached #4 on the U.S. pop singles chart and #5 on the UK Singles Chart in 1965. The title is said to be a take-off on a 1959 film Catch Me If You Can. The opening four lines with guitar and finger snapping became the song's spontaneous hook, and in the U.S., it remains one of the group's most played tunes on oldies radio stations. The Dave Clark Five, were actually the" first" Brit band to tour the U.S. during the British Invasion, but were "second" to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show after The Beatles. However, the DC5 appeared 18 times on The Ed Sullivan Show -- the most of any British Invasion group. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, the band also had 17 records in the Top 40 on the US Billboard chart.
