Interview: Harold Bronson, author of My British Invasion (Article)
Thursday, June 8, 2017
Interview: Harold Bronson, author of My British Invasion By Will Harris Although it’s appropriate, given that it’s what he’s here to promote, it seems a bit silly to only identify Harold Bronson by the title of his latest book, especially when the identification is being done on the website of the label he helped to found. That’s right: Bronson and his cohort Richard Foos are the guys who started Rhino Records back in 1978, so please follow our lead and genuflect in their general direction. A few years ago, Bronson wrote a book detailing the origins of Rhino, and now he’s back with a new

Gerry + “Ferry” = One of the Defining Songs of the British Invasion (Article)
Thursday, December 6, 2018
54 years ago this month, Gerry and the Pacemakers released the single which served as the title track for their lone feature film, and before the month was out (in 1964), the lads had also enjoyed the opportunity to attend said film’s world premiere. Penned by Gerry Marsden, the man who – as you might’ve guessed – put the “Gerry” in “Gerry and the Pacemakers,” “Ferry Cross the Mersey” was arguably the most Liverpool-centric song to hit the US and UK top-10 until the Beatles released their “Strawberry Fields Forever” / “Penny Lane” single a few years later. (For those who don’t know, the Mersey

The Kinks (Article)
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
For longevity alone, the Kinks deserve a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The heart and soul of the Kinks - brothers Ray and Dave Davies - have been performing together since 1963, at which time Ray joined his younger brother's band, the Ravens (soon renamed the Kinks). The original lineup consisted of Ray (guitar, vocals), Dave (lead guitar, vocals), Mick Avory (drums) and Pete Quaife (bass). Ray Davies is almost indisputably rock's most literate, witty and insightful songwriter. Dave Davies, on the other hand, is renowned for his guitar playing. His pioneering hard-rock style was

Dave Clark (drums, vocals; born December 15, 1942), Lenny Davidson (guitar; born May 30, 1944), Rick Huxley (bass; born August 5, 1942; died February 11, 2013), Denis Payton (saxes, harmonica, vocals; born August 11, 1943, died December 17, 2006), Mike Smith (keyboards, vocals; born December 6, 1943, died February 28, 2008)In the early years of the British Invasion, two bands vied for supremacy: the Beatles and the Dave Clark Five. Granted, the Fab Four from Liverpool out-charted the five lads from London, but almost no other band – not the Rolling Stones, Kinks or Animals – came close to the

Inductees: Eric Burdon (vocals; born May 11, 1941), Chas Chandler (bass; December 18, 1938 - July 17, 1996), Alan Price (keyboards; born April 19, 1942), John Steel (drums; born February 4, 1941), Hilton Valentine (guitar; born May 21, 1943)The Animals were part of the budding, homegrown U.K. blues scene of the early Sixties and one of the most noteworthy bands of the British Invasion. Formed in Newcastle-on-Tyne, a port city and coal-mining hub in northeast England, the Animals reflected their upbringing with brawling, blues-based rock and roll. The group derived its inspiration - and much of

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "WABC Top Ten 2-24-65" (Article)
Friday, April 24, 2015
1. "This Diamond Ring" Gary Lewis & the Playboys Cowritten by our Lefsetz favorite, Al Kooper. However, Al was horrified by this take until the royalty checks started piling in. Al saw it as a soul number. And I'm including Al's take from his 1977 album "Act Like Nothing's Wrong," check it out. But Gary Lewis's version was different. Haunting, very sixties. Let's see, February 1965. We were one year into the British Invasion, long enough for the hysteria to die down and allow American acts onto the chart. And this week I spent with my parents at the Concord, in Kiamesha Lake, New York. Sick

Happy Birthday: Gerry Marsden (Article)
Monday, September 24, 2018
Today we celebrate the birthday of the man who put the “Gerry” in Gerry and the Pacemakers: living Liverpool legend Gerry Marsden. Born in – you guessed it – Liverpool, Gerard Marsen would soon become known as “Gerry” as well as one of the most famous faces of the British Invasion who wasn’t a member of The Beatles. His band did, however, have a well-documented connection to the Fab Four: Gerry and the Pacemakers took the tune that was originally offered to The Beatles (they turned it down) and turned it into a stone-cold smash. The song in question, “How Do You Do It,” was undeniably catchy

Rhino’s Got You Covered: Esther Phillips, Neil, ZZ Top, and Lindsey Buckingham (Article)
Wednesday, October 23, 2019
It’s Wednesday, so it must be time to take another dip into the Rhino catalog and trot out a new quartet of cover songs that you may or may not have heard before. Let’s get started, shall we? • Esther Phillips, “As Tears Go By” (1965): You’ll know this Rolling Stones song, of course, from Marianne Faithfull’s cover, but Philips had a thing for the British Invasion, scoring a hit this same year with her cover of The Beatles’ “And I Love Her.” • Neil, “Hole in My Shoe” (1984): If you watched The Young Ones, then you know Neil, and if you know Neil, then you won’t be surprised how many hippie-era
