The Springfields

Since tomorrow is "Beatle Day", the anniversary of the Beatles' first appearance on Ed Sullivan in 1964, I thought I'd play the first song by a pop group from Great Britain to make the top twenty on the Hot 100.  The group was "The Springfields" with a very young Dusty Springfield.  Their song "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" hit #20 in 1962, beating the Tornados "Telstar" by two months, and the Beatles by 15 months.  You got it, the first Brit group... the Springfields, forgotten today.
