Notes from the book。。。

[At 24 years old, American soul singer Dionne Warwick was becoming a worldwide sensation with her distinctive voice and classic songs provided by the Burt Bacharach and Hal David writing them. Her 1964 single, “Walk on By,” set a standard not easily surpassed.]

[The Moody Blues, original lineup: Graeme Edge, Denny Laine, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas, and Clint Warwick. The English band from Birmingham had their first single with “Go Now” which released in 1964 but made number one on the singles chart in January 1965. The Moody Blues’ distinctive sound and greatest success developed after the departure of Denny Laine and the arrival of replacement Justin Hayward in 1966.]  

[Like The Beatles, Liverpool band The Searchers has a residency contract with the Star Club in Hamburg in 1962. Between 1963 and 1964 they had three number one hits, including “Needles and Pins.” Unlike many of their contemporaries, they kept their performing career going with regular touring right up to the present day.] 

[Pop stars Cilla Black, Petula Clark, and Sandie Shaw. All three had successful singles. “Downtown” by Petula Clark reached number one in Britain and also topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, making her the first British female artist to achieve this. Sandie Shaw’s “Always Something There to Remind Me” sat at the top of the UK charts for three weeks and Cilla’s “You’re My World” spent five weeks a number one. ]

[Australian folk group The Seekers topped the US and UK charts in February 1965 with their single “I’ll Never Find Another You.” Composed by Tom Springfield, the song made lead singer Judith Durham’s voice a classic of the 1960s and The Seekers’ homely image, combined with their tuneful songs, attracted audiences of all ages.]
