Don't Throw Your Love Away

In 1964 the world was rocking with the British Invasion.  Among the many groups from the British Isles, the Searchers scored several hits starting just weeks after the Beatles.  The record that followed the smash hit "Needles and Pins" was a cover version of an Orlons single from 1963 called "Don't Throw Your Love Away". The song was #1 in England and a top twenty hit in the USA. Mostly forgotten today, I've always thought it was a great song!
