Don't...

In 1964 the British Invasion overwhelmed the USA after The Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan in February.  Teenagers were buying anything recorded in Great Britain, which means that some songs that weren't that good became hits.  It also means that because there were so many records, a few really good songs got lost in the shuffle.  Hungry for profit, many record companies caused the downfall of some truly good artists.  Anyway, The Searchers had a top-40 hit with "Don't Throw Your Love Away" that year... the song was #1 in England and it should have done better here, today it's pretty much forgotten.
