Another legend from the 60's gone: Mike Smith, lead singer with the Dave Clark Five, died yesterday. His was the voice on such classic pop singles as Glad All Over, Bits And Pieces, Do You Love Me etc....

R.I.P. Mike.
He's had a rough few years. Sad to see him go, but it would have been sadder to see him suffer on. May you have peace, Mike.

I was listening to Planet Rock, Saturday a.m - I love Rick Wakeman's show - and he paid a nice tribute to Mike, played an old DC5 single - Glad All Over. RW visited him in hospital, and said virtually to the end Mike was still making plans to record - never let his disability get him down. Another good man gone.

wow. what irony. I just got back home from an away fill in gig. we jammed afterwards and ended up playing a few
DC5 songs; they just happened. we talked about Mike later and were wondering.
thanks for the head'sup. Vic.
The Flu and pneumonia are bad this year. I have always loved the DC5! A great band :D RIP
RIP. What a week this has been.
I can still remember my brother's band playing a number of songs by Dave Clark Five.
