The Searchers

One of my favorite British Invasion bands, the Searchers released a bunch of records in the USA during the 60's.  Even though they were well received and considered a big part of the invasion, they only had three top twenty hits, all during 1964.  This song is my favorite Searchers tune, "Don't Throw Your Love Away", a cover of a very minor Orlons' hit from 1963.  To me the song is a great example of that smooth Searchers sound, with great vocals and tasty guitar.  Unfortunately a forgotten oldie today.
