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 10 Top-40 hits in the United States, including eight hits in the Top-20. "World Without Love," their debut single, peaked at number one in May 1964. That smash hit made Peter and Gordon the first British act to hit number one in the wake of the Beatles' success. The duo went on to score hits with the John Lennon and Paul McCartney songs, "Nobody I Know," "I Don't Want to See You Again" and "Woman."
Chad and Jeremy, one of the first groups to make it big in America during the "British Invasion," pushed the envelope of psych-folk-rock with their cult classic albums. The duo's first single, "Yesterday's Gone," was their only real UK hit as their sensitive, strings-backed sound held a greater appeal in America. Chad and Jeremy's second single, "A Summer Song," hit number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Follow-ups "Willow Weep For Me" and "Before and After" reached the Top-20, giving Chad and Jeremy a total of seven Top-40 hits in the United States during 1964-1966.
