Peter and Gordon were often called "the Everly Brothers of the British Invasion". Blending folk, blues and rock 'n' roll with their own pop-flavored English sensibility, they managed both commercial success and musical integrity. The result was ten U.S. Top 40 hits, including eight in the Top 20. "World Without Love", their debut single, peaked at Number 1 in May of 1964. That smash hit made Peter and Gordon the first British act to hit 1 in the wake of the Beatles' success that brought a cultural watershed forever known as the British Invasion. The duo went on to score hits with the Lennon and McCartney songs "Nobody I Know,? "I Don't Want to See You Again", and "Woman.? Suddenly Peter and Gordon were among the most recognizable faces of the British Invasion.
Chad and Jeremy were one of the first groups to make it big in America during the 'British Invasion', they then pushed the envelope of psych-folk-rock with cult classic albums. The duo's first single, "Yesterday's Gone", was their only real UK hit. However, Chad and Jeremy's sensitive, strings-backed sound held a greater appeal in America, where they perhaps benefited from an early 1960s 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" and "Before and After" reached the top 20, and altogether Chad and Jeremy had seven U.S. Top 40 hits during 1964-66.
