Dave Dee Dozey Beaky Mick & Tich - "Bend It" (1966)

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich is an amalgam of the band members' nicknames. The distinctive name, coupled with well produced and catchy songs like "Bend It", quickly caught the UK public's imagination and their records started to sell in abundance. Indeed, between 1965 and 1969, the group spent more weeks in the UK Singles Chart than The Beatles and made the odd tour 'downunder' to Australia and New Zealand, where they had also experienced some marked chart success during this period.
