Rick Huxley, bassist for the Dave Clark 5 in the ’60’s and ’70’s, was born on this day in 1940. He appeared on all the band’s hits, including "Can’t You See That She’s Mine," which was released in the US in June 1964 and peaked at #4 on the Hot 100.

I always enjoyed this group! Most of their songs are upbeat and fun to dance to.

The kind of band you wished played at your prom, right? The one downtempo song I can think of is “Because,” which is just a beauty…

It’s sad they didn’t stay as popular as the Beatles did. Dave Clark was fussy about licensing, and a lot of their stuff didn’t come out until after he died. They were different from the Beatles, with the keyboard and saxophone: theirs was called the Tottenham sound.

Is Dave Clark dead? I didn’t know that. Yea they had more of a bigger band and wasn’t as guitar driven as the Beatles.

Sorry, my mistake, Dave is still with us. He hasn’t played since 72, but he’s got plenty to keep him busy. I must have been thinking of Rick Huxley, who died a while ago.

They called theirs the “Tottenham Sound,” music from the northern suburbs of London. Very similar and yet different…
