Gerry and the Pacemakers asked the question "How do you do what you do to me...?" and it is a question that North Americans could have asked any of the British musical acts that swept across the Atlantic in the sixties and seventies.
How did they have such an appeal? The sound of British pop made us all stand up and take notice of what was going on and what was going on included some amazing guitar players, strange new technology, outlandish costumes, wild hair and bad teeth. Judging by your response to the last show Randy did featuring the Brits you still can't get enough.
This week on Vinyl Tap Randy Bachman takes another look at some of the more influential British bands including Cliff Richard and The Shadows, The Kinks, The Trogs, The Animals and many more.
UK Pop revisited this week on the Tap.
