My Music: The British Beat

American pop music was primed for an injection of fresh energy at the dawn of 1964. Across the pond, a platoon of guitar-wielding bands wearing scandalously long hair and sharp continental suits were cooking up the means to supply it, setting the stage for the tidal wave of the British Invasion.America’s fevered response to the Beatles in early 1964 unleashed a moptop mania that even out-thundered Elvis Presley in its cataclysmic resonance, opening the door for British beat groups aplenty. Suddenly, doo-wop and surf and rhythm and blues were all in imminent danger of being passe on the Top 40, swept off the airwaves by The Animals, The Zombies and The Troggs.The best of these exciting young groups were true innovators in their own right, advancing the rock idiom exponentially with their songwriting brilliance.Hosted by Petula Clark.

STARS: Peter Asher, The Beatles, Colin Blunstone

“This is an amazing night of amazing music from across the pond,” exclaims TJ Lubinsky, creator and executive producer of the MY MUSIC series. “To feel the emotions as Gerry and the Pacemakers ‘Ferry Across the Mersey’ and the Tremeloes take us back into the coffee houses of the 60s with their classic ‘Here Comes My Baby’ is an awesome, touching tribute to some of the most familiar and timeless songs of the 20th century.”
