The Searchers

The second Liverpool group to break into the US charts was the Searchers, scoring several hits during the beginnings of Beatlemania.  They went top ten with "Needles and Pins" in 1964, and in December peaked at #17 on the Hot 100 with "Don't Throw Your Love Away".  The band continues to tour and record today, however it gets a little confusing because two versions of the band tour, both with legitimate claims at the name because of their personnel.  Still, "Don't Throw Your Love Away" remains as one of their biggest hits ever, and yet it's mostly forgotten today!
