FIRST BAND OF THE BRITISH INVASION?


What's your answer? Easy right? The Beatles were the first band from England with a hit in the USA, paving the way for the British Invasion. Actually... that's WRONG!!
The Springfields were the first British vocal act to score a U.S. Top 20 hit with the single "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" … their lead singer was Mary O'Brien, who would later sustain a major solo career using the stage name... Dusty Springfield. How about that?
