Might as well begin with the song that started it all! “I Want to Hold Your Hand”, which was released in 1963, was not actually The Beatles’ first hit. That honor had gone to “Love Me Do” the year prior, but it was their first hit in America, and it sold over a million copies in the UK in advance orders before it had even been released. The Beatles...
If any band other band ever approached the massive popularity of the Beatles, it was the Rolling Stones, and in the 1960s, they were seen as the Beatle’s London counterpart, much more rugged and raw in both sound and personae. They also borrowed more heavily from the bluestradition, as their biggest hit, 1965’s “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” show...
Disaffected youth is a common theme of the music that came out of the British Invasion, and nowhere is this more apparent than in The Who’s “My Generation.” The Who were famous not just for their music, but also for their theatrics and outrageous behavior (for instance, their habit of smashing all their instruments at the end of a performance, and ...
Shared musical traditions between the US and UK are nothing new. In fact, they date back centuries. Many of the American folk ballads that would go on to influence Western popular music have much older counterparts in the British Isles. The beauty of traditional folk music lies in its adaptability. Folk songs survive for centuries because they evol...
While the Animals were heavily influenced by American folk and blues music, some other bands were looking inward at British musical tradition, and none more so than the Kinks. Of all the British Invasion artists, The Kinks had the most English sound. This wasn’t entirely by choice. Their rowdy behavior during their 1965 US tour, which culminated in...
While The Animals were borrowing from American music and The Kinks were embracing British tradition, bands like Gerry & the Pacemakers were combing the two. Like the Beatles, Gerry & the Pacemakers had their roots in Merseybeat music, a genre originating in Liverpool (home of the Mersey River) which combined elements of rhythm and blues, skiffle, a...
Men weren’t the only ones cashing in on America’s newfound love of British talent. A few talented female artists, such as Lulu, Dusty Springfield, and Cilla Black, also emerged on the scene. Among them, Petula Clark had one of the biggest hit with her 1964 recording of “Downtown.” Clark was nearly a decade older than most of the other artists on th...
British pop duo Peter and Gordon were talented vocalists, but they had another advantage in their rise to prominence. Peter Asher’s sister was actress Jane Asher, the long-time girlfriend of Paul McCartney, who would become Peter’s roommate in 1963. McCartney gave several of his earlier compositions to Peter and Gordon to perform, and among them wa...
“Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” was composed by British actor and songwriter Trevor Peacock for a 1963 TV play, but it was Herman’s Hermits that took it to Number 1 in the United States. With its bouncy, folksy guitar riff, “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” has a quaint English country feel to it, and vocalist Peter Noone doesn’t...
The Yardbirds are most well-known for jumpstarting the careers of three of the greatest rock guitarists in history – Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page all played guitar for the group at one time or another – but the Yardbirds were also a talented group in their own right, as showcased by their first US hit “For Your Love.” Prior to releasing ...
The British Invasion was a cultural phenomenon of the mid-1960s, when rock and pop music acts from the United Kingdom and other aspects of British culture became popular in the United States with significant influence on the rising "counterculture" on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

The British Invasion occurred in the mid-'60s, when a wave of English rock & roll bands crossed over into the American market after the breakthrough success of the Beatles. Though not all of the bands sounded similar -- they ranged from the hard rock of the Rolling Stones and the Kinks to the sweet pop of Gerry & the Pacemakers and Herman's ...
