    I’m feeling Glad all over…and was Glad ok with that.
    Of course the Dave Clark Five were the Tottenham sound, which was heard loud and proud as my Spurs team won 3-2 at the Arse

    morphy, I wonder of the pounding of Dave Clark on the drums reminds Kate of her days in Ghana or maybe just recovery ? I agree with you ..excellent pick

    Dave Clark has had a chequered career and this song exemplifies all the problems that went with it.Up until recently few knew that DC5 was a group like the Monkees, strategically constructed to look good first and sound good second. It has been revealed that in many of the songs Dave Clark didn’t actually play, but above all that he retained the rights to all the songs and impeded their re-release until about 2 years ago he cut a deal with iTunes to sell his songs on iTunes exclusively.

    “Glad all over”,is actually a remake of an old song.Lead vocalist Mike Smith came across a song called “Glad All Over” by Carl Perkins and wrote a new song with the same title. Smith recalls, “We had lost out on ‘Do You Love Me’ to Brian Poole and so Dave (Clark) thought we should do an original. He asked me to come up with something and I looked through my record collection for a suitable title.” Smith came across a song called ‘Glad All Over’ by Carl Perkins and wrote a new song with the same title.

    However, the Dave Clark Five film “Catch me if you can”, released in 1965 was as successful as “Hard Days Night”.
