I guess that if we have a Peter & Gordon thread, then we should also have a Chad & Jeremy thread ...

Chad & Jeremy
Chad and Jeremy were an English singing folk rock duo in the 1960s, comprising Chad Stuart (born David Stuart Chadwick, 10 December 1941, Windermere, Cumbria) and Jeremy Clyde (born Michael Thomas Jeremy Clyde, 22 March 1941, Dorney, Buckinghamshire). They were part of the British Invasion, a large influx of British rock and pop musicians to the American music scene.
The duo's first single, "Yesterday's Gone", for the Ember Records label, which was arranged by John Barry, was their only UK hit. However, Chad and Jeremy's strings-backed sound held a greater appeal in the United States, where World Artists Records released their early `60s strain of commercial folk music.
Their second single, "A Summer Song", hit #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Follow-ups "Willow Weep for Me" (a 1930s song that was recorded by Paul Whiteman, Billie Holiday and others; Chad & Jeremy's cover version went #1 on the Easy Listening chart) and on Columbia Records in 1965, "Before and After" reached the Top 20, and altogether Chad and Jeremy had seven U.S. Top 40 hits during 1964-66.
In the fall of 1967, they released one of their most ambitious albums, Of Cabbages and Kings. This psychedelic, satirical album was very different from the previous mellow Chad and Jeremy offerings and was rated very highly by the music critics of the day but sold poorly, as did the 1968 follow-up, the also critically acclaimed The Ark.
They played a fictional duo called 'The Redcoats' on a Jan. 1965 episode of the TV sitcom Dick Van Dyke Show that satirized Beatlemania. They also had a guest appearance on the Patty Duke Show in late February 1965, playing the unknown British singing duo Nigel & Patrick, where they performed the song "The Truth Often Hurts the Heart", along with "Yesterday's Gone". They appeared as itinerant actors in "That's Noway, Thataway," a January 1966 episode of the comedic western Laredo.
The duo appeared as themselves in the December 1966 episodes "The Cat's Meow" and "The Bat's Kow Tow" of the television series Batman, in which the guest villain was Julie Newmar as Catwoman.
Clyde appeared in 1966 as a bachelor contestant on The Dating Game where he won. Stuart voiced Flaps the vulture in Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book.
In 1983 Chad and Jeremy reunited to record the album Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde for the small U.S. Rocshire Records label and are currently doing concerts. Jeremy Duncan and his brother Chad in the comic strip Zits are namesakes of this duo.
In 2003, PBS reunited Chad and Jeremy with a 1960s pop reunion special which also prompted a tour. They have been touring ever since. In 2008, a greatest hits album, Ark-eology was released and a new album Zanzibar Sunset is currently being recorded.
They performed at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in January 2009.
