The Bands and Artists Involved in the British Invasion

America saw the British scene as a more rebellious and edgy form of self expression and music. The Beatles' legendary performance on America's top TV programme the ED Sullivan Show in 1963 and the Rolling Stones' raunchy live shows, opened the doors for a host of other British artists usually not commonplace or first choice in the public's mind:

Dusty Springfield
Petula Clark
The Kinks
The Animals
The Troggs
Hermans Hermits
Donovan
