A trip down memory lane. Some of us remember the times. DG, Sid, Frank........

Remember?

Great site !
Just one question: Who on Earth were " Chad and Jeremy" ? Their names appear at top right on the British Invasion page, so were they supposed to be British?

Good to hear Eric Burden, lead singer of The Animals again ('House of the Rising Sun')

I think Chad and Jeremy did better in the States than over here Fred. I only remember one record by them - "Yesterday's Gone" - but then, my memory isn't what it was.

Very interesting site Scotty. Of course, I'm too young to remember any of it (I wish!).

Thanks, Scotty; it was good to hear those.

Fred, it was Chad Stewart and Jeremy Clyde, as I remember. But then, unlike Karrow, I don't have so many years crowding my memory. (It must be hard to organize so many memories. How do you do it, Kath- by centuries, or by subject matter?)

Chad Stuart was born very close to my old native town of Carlisle up there in Cumbria, UK. He'll be 65 on Sunday so I hope we're all ivited . Chad and Jeremy moved to the US very early on, and were far bigger there than in their native country where few remember them except Karrow. This link is excellent:

Thanks, Colin. No wonder I'd never heard of them. Thought at first it was because 'if you remember the sixties then you weren't there' but, on the other hand, I can remember dancing the twist...

I liked Chad and Jeremy, but I also thought Peter and Gordon were better.

I preferred Abbott and Costello.

(Sorry. Just realised that was the FORTIES!)

Somebody just e-mailed me this. Abbott & Costello are still with us! Abbott & Costello in Washington D.C.

Abbot & Costello were very active in the first half of the 50s. Beolw, from the Internet Movie Database, is Lou Costello's credits from that time.
