Mike Smith RIP
Sad to hear about the loss of the Dave Clark 5's lead singer and organist, Mike Smith. For those of a certain age, their records will always evoke simpler, more innocent times and a vital component of those records was Mike's vocals. RIP Mike.

Re: Mike Smith RIP
Great band love their stuff, their song bits & pieces were banned in most dance halls because of fears the floors would go with the then young uns stomping to the beat

I have a fair few of their songs cos of the infectious beat & one of the best bands of its era

Is it still Chelsea that mainly does the 'glad all over' theme at its ground ????

Great track that cashy, its surprising just how many good numbers like that they did, its a pity that we only think about some of these old group when one of them dies. RIP Mike Smith
