Dec. 21, 1964 - On sale today is “Coast to Coast,” the fourth U.S. album by the English rock group the Dave Clark Five. It contains two hit singles: “Any Way You Want It” and “Everybody Knows (I Still Love You).” Two other songs on the album will be used in the group’s upcoming film “Having a Wild Weekend” — “I Can’t Stand It” and “When.”
The band had its origins in 1958, as the backing musicians for vocalist Stan Saxon. Dave Clark played drums and contributed background vocals alongside a frequently changing line-up. Clark and guitarist Rick Huxley both participated in the 1958 line-up.
Clark and his bandmates eventually split with Saxon and reconstituted themselves as a standalone concern in January 1962, making their home in the South Grove Youth Club in Tottenham, London. After a little more evolution, a lasting ensemble was settled, with Clark on drums, Huxley moving to bass, Lenny Davidson on lead guitar, Denis Payton on saxophone (and harmonica and rhythm guitar), and Mike Smith on keyboards and lead vocals.
The Dave Clark Five appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show for two weeks last March after the Beatles’ three appearances on the show.
