Dave Clark Five and Beyond - Glad All Over. Before The Beatles Vs. The Stones, long before Beatles Vs. The Monkees, there was, The Beatles Vs. The DC-5! 18 times on the Ed Sullivan Show, 17 records in the Top 40 , 50 million records, fifteen consecutive top 20 hits their first two years. They also inspired a lot of musicians. Sir Paul McCartney grudgingly respected them, Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Gene Simmons, and the late Freddie Mercury. Dave was smart, he had been in movies as an extra, so he managed the group, and got all the rights to their songs. About, the only group to come out of the 60s rich! He also had a rule, the band would only work 5 days a week, and have two to have fun! They quit at the top, and there were no hurt feelings. That is some class!
