Glad All Over
"Glad All Over" is a song written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith and recorded by The Dave Clark Five. Overview "Glad All Over" featured Smith leading unison group vocals, often in call and response style, a saxophone line used not for solo decoration but underneath the whole song, and a big, " air hammer" beat that underpinned the wall of sound production known as the "Tottenham Sound". Reception ''Billboard'' said of the song that "here's a rocking, romping group vocal effort much akin to the Liverpool sound and the Beatles' school," stating that the song has a "solid beat and echo quality." ''Cash Box'' described it as "a happy-go-lucky pounder...that sports that ' Mersey sound with the Liverpool beat.'" In January 1964, it became the British group's first big hit, reaching No.1 on the UK Singles Chart and promptly kicked off the DC5 vs Beatles rivalry, removing the massively successful "I Want To Hold Your Hand" from the UK No.1. In April 1964, it reached No.6 on the America ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
