More Sad Music News: Dave Clark Five singer Smith dies at age 64

[JoeM]

Anybody who was into the Mersey Beat sound of the 60's will remember them as the group that knocked the Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the British charts with "Glad All Over." Those were exciting times for me, music-wise as we had never heard anything like that music before.

Mike Smith had a really great voice - a little like Lennon. Didn't know he was paralyzed from the waist down in an spinal cord accident in 2003
