The Searchers

In 1964 the Searchers arrived in the USA seemingly a few days after the Beatles.  Actually they were about a month behind the Beatles with "Needles and Pins" breaking into the Hot 100 in March of 1964. The Searchers already had a list of British hits under their belts when they hit America, and "Don't Throw Your Love Away" had already hit #1 in England. It reached #16 on the Hot 100 and stayed around for 11 weeks.  It's a very cool song. forgotten today.
