The Dave Clark Five

Were awesome, and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show more times than any other rock, pop or R&B artist. Check it out via PBS' Great Performances, premiering April 8:
In the 1960s, the British band The Dave Clark Five achieved a record-breaking 15 consecutive Top 20 U.S. hit singles within two-years — more than any other group in the world except the Beatles. Footage of iconic performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and interviews with Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick and more round out the two-hour film.
