The group disbanded in early 1970, though Clark and a few former members continued as Dave Clark & Friends until 1973. In 1965, the group starred in a feature film vehicle, Catch Us If You Can, directed by John Boorman. The DC5 were one of the most commercially successful acts of the British Invasion, releasing seventeen top-40 hits in the US between 19, including several that did not chart as highly in the UK such as " Because", " Do You Love Me", "Everybody Knows (I Still Love You)", " Any Way You Want It", " I Like It Like That", "Try Too Hard" and " You Got What It Takes". They would ultimately have 18 appearances on the show. They were the second group of the British Invasion to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States (for two weeks in March 1964 following the Beatles' three weeks the previous month). Their other UK top-ten hits include " Bits and Pieces", " Can't You See That She's Mine", " Catch Us If You Can", " Everybody Knows", " The Red Balloon", " Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", and a version of Chet Powers' " Get Together" (retitled as "Everybody Get Together"). 1, they topped the US chart in December 1965, with their cover of Bobby Day's " Over and Over". In January 1964, they had their first UK top-ten single, " Glad All Over", which knocked the Beatles' " I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the UK Singles Chart. Drummer Dave Clark served as the group's leader, producer and co-songwriter. The Dave Clark Five, also known as the DC5, were an English rock and roll band formed in 1958 in Tottenham, London.
