Today's Forgotten Oldie...

The Searchers were a big part of the British Invasion, and the second British band to chart in the U.S. in 1964 when Needles and Pins roared to number 13 on the hot 100.  The Searchers' follow-up, Don't Throw Your Love Away also cracked the top 20, reaching number 16.  Both of these two Searchers' records reached number one in England.  I loved all the Searchers records, they were my second favorite of the Merseybeat bands.  They had a long career with a lot of minor hits, but as an almost strictly cover band, they never scored a top ten smash hit.  None the less, Don't Throw Your Love Away is a great song and today's Forgotten Oldie.
