}}David Clark (born 15 December 1939 or 1942){{refn|group=nb|Although many sources give a birth year of 1942, there is documentary evidence including birth records and business records that Clark was in fact born in 1939.}} is an English musician, songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur. Clark was the leader, drummer and manager of the 1960s beat group the Dave Clark Five, the first British Invasion band to follow the Beatles to America in 1964. In 2008 Clark and his band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[1]

Career

Born in Tottenham, then in Middlesex, Clark left school without qualifications at the age of 15 and became a film stuntman, performing in over 40 films.[2][3][4] In the late 1950s Clark bought himself a set of drums, taught himself how to play them, and formed a skiffle band to raise funds so that his football team could travel to the Netherlands. The skiffle band grew into the Dave Clark Five with Clark their leader, co-songwriter, manager and producer.[4][6]

The Dave Clark Five grew in popularity in the UK. They unseated the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" from its number one spot in the UK singles charts in January 1964 with "Glad All Over". The British press, briefly, called them the Beatles' "most serious threat".[7] The Dave Clark Five were the first British Invasion band to follow the Beatles to America in 1964,[7] where they achieved 15 consecutive Top 20 hits.[9] They also appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show more times than any other English group.[7] Dave Clark became a popular name for babies in the 1960s.[1]{{clear left}}

Andrew Loog Oldham, former manager of the Rolling Stones, said of the band's early success as rivals to the Beatles:

If the Beatles ever looked over their shoulders, it was not the Stones they saw. They saw the Dave Clark 5 or Herman's Hermits.[2]

The band broke up in 1970 and in 1972. Clark stopped drumming after he broke four knuckles in a tobogganing accident in 1972.[2]

He later wrote a science fiction stage musical, Time, which debuted in 1986. It played for two years in London's West End, starring Cliff Richard (replaced later by David Cassidy).[4] The musical also launched a concept album called Time which featured Richard, Freddie Mercury, Leo Sayer, Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick. Two million copies were sold and it spun off several hit singles.[3]

Business career

Clark is a successful entrepreneur and a multi-millionaire. He owns a £12 million house in West London.[2][17] From the outset, Clark owned the rights to all the Dave Clark Five music masters.[4] In the late 1960s, in addition to managing his band, Clark began directing and producing for television. In 1968 he made a "very successful" television production, Hold On, It's the Dave Clark Five.[4] In the 1980s he acquired the rights to the 1960s UK music show Ready Steady Go!.[4]

On the release of a (DC5) British hits album in the mid-'70s, Clark resided in the US for a year, thus avoiding paying UK taxes in Britain on the proceeds of that release. The British government challenged this but lost the case in court.[5]

In 1993 Clark released remastered versions of all the Dave Clark 5 singles on a CD, Glad All Over Again.[4] All the proceeds went to him, rather than the band or its former members.

Personal life

Clark was a close friend of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, whom he had known since 1976.[23] Clark had taken over the bedside vigil of Mercury when he died in November 1991.[6][7]

Honours and legacy

In 2008, marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of the band, the Dave Clark Five was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[1][27] Clark, making a rare public appearance, and the two other surviving band members accepted the award on behalf of the group.[28]

In 2014 Clark wrote, produced, appeared in, and partly presented, the 115-minute documentary The Dave Clark Five and Beyond: Glad All Over.[8]
