Editing British Invasion (section)

== Beyond the Beatles ==
One week after the Beatles entered the [[Hot 100]] for the first time, [[Dusty Springfield]], having launched a solo career after her participation in [[the Springfields]], became the next British act to reach the Hot 100, peaking at number twelve with "[[I Only Want to Be with You]]".<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Gaar|first1=Gillian G.|title=Women of The British Invasion|journal=Goldmine|date=April 2011|pages=22, 24, 26–28}}</ref>{{refn|group=nb|She soon followed up with several other hits, becoming what [[AllMusic]] described as "the finest [[blue-eyed soul|white soul]] singer of her era."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/dusty-springfield-mn0000159214 |title=Dusty Springfield - Music Biography, Streaming Radio and Discography - AllMusic |first=Jason |last=Ankeny |work=AllMusic}}</ref> On the Hot 100, Dusty's solo career lasted almost as long, albeit with little more than one quarter of the hits, as the Beatles' group career before their breakup; she continued to have hits on the easy listening and adult contemporary charts into the late 1980s.}} During the next three years, many more British acts with a chart-topping US single would appear.{{refn|group=nb|[[Peter and Gordon]], [[the Animals]], [[Manfred Mann]], [[Petula Clark]],{{sfn|Gilliland |1969 |loc=show 29, track 2}} [[Freddie and the Dreamers]], [[Wayne Fontana]] and [[the Mindbenders]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/wayne-fontana-and-the-mindbenders-mn0000245149 |title=Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders - Music Biography, Streaming Radio and Discography - AllMusic |first=Dave |last=Thompson |work=AllMusic}}</ref> [[Herman's Hermits]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/hermans-hermits-mn0000575051 |title=Herman's Hermits - Music Biography, Streaming Radio and Discography - AllMusic |first=Bruce |last=Eder |work=AllMusic}}</ref> [[the Rolling Stones]],{{sfn|Gilliland |1969 |loc=show 30}} [[the Dave Clark Five]],<ref>[{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=the dave clark five|chart=all}} Billboard Dave Clark Five Chart Page]</ref> [[the Troggs]], [[Donovan]],{{sfn|Gilliland |1969 |loc=show 48}} and [[Lulu (singer)|Lulu]] in 1967, would have one or more number one singles in the US.<ref name=Britannica>{{cite web |author=Ira A.

The musical style of British Invasion artists, such as the Beatles, had been influenced by earlier American rock 'n' roll, a genre that had lost some popularity and appeal by the time of the Invasion. However, a subsequent handful of British performers, particularly the [[Rolling Stones]] and [[the Animals]], would appeal to a more 'outsider' demographic, essentially reviving and popularising, for young people at least, a musical genre rooted in the blues, rhythm, and black culture,<ref>Cooper, Laura E., and B. Lee, "The Pendulum of Cultural Imperialism: Popular Music Interchanges Between the United States and Britain", ''Journal of Popular Culture'', Jan. 1993</ref> which had been largely ignored or rejected when performed by black American artists in the 1950s.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> Such bands were sometimes perceived by American parents and elders as rebellious and unwholesome, unlike parent-friendly pop groups such as the Beatles. The Rolling Stones would become the biggest band other than the Beatles to come out of the British Invasion,<ref>Petersen, Jennifer B. "British Bands Invade the United States" 2009. Article.</ref> topping the Hot 100 eight times.<ref>{{cite book |author=Joel Whitburn |url=https://archive.org/details/joelwhitburnstop00whitbur/page/602/mode/2up |title=Top Pop Singles 1955-2002 |publisher=Record Research, Inc |year=2003 |isbn=0-89820-155-1 |location=Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin |pages=602, 603 |url-access=registration}}</ref> Sometimes, there would be a clash between the two styles of the British Invasion, the polished pop acts and the grittier blues-based acts, due to the expectations set by the Beatles. Eric Burdon of the Animals said, "They dressed us up in the most strange costumes. They were even gonna bring a choreographer to show us how to move on stage. I mean, it was ridiculous. It was something that was so far away from our nature and, um, yeah we were just pushed around and told, 'When you arrive in America, don't mention the [Vietnam] war! You can't talk about the war.' We felt like we were being gagged."<ref name='Remembering The "British Invasion" - CNN'>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/yrlKKVsMnd8 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20140429063033/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrlKKVsMnd8&feature=c4-overview&list=UUupvZG-5ko_eiXAupbDfxWw Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web|title=Remembering the "British Invasion"|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrlKKVsMnd8|website=Remembering the "British Invasion" - YouTube|publisher=CNN|access-date=28 April 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

"[[Freakbeat]]" is a term sometimes given to certain British Invasion acts closely associated with the [[Mod (subculture)|Mod]] scene during the [[Swinging London]] period, particularly harder-driving [[British blues]] bands of the era that often remained obscure to American listeners, and who are sometimes seen as counterparts to the [[garage rock]] bands in America.<ref>[{{AllMusic |class=explore |id=style/d11036 |pure_url=yes}} "Freakbeat"], Allmusic, retrieved 30 June 2011.</ref><ref name="Nicholson (Freakbeat and Garage)">{{cite web|last1=Nicholson|first1=Chris|title=Freakbeat, The Garage Rock Era|url=http://www.ministryofrock.co.uk/freakbeat.html|website=Ministry of Rock|publisher=MinistryofRock|access-date=July 16, 2015|date=September 25, 2012}}</ref> Certain acts, such as [[the Pretty Things]] and [[The Creation (band)|the Creation]], had a certain degree of chart success in the UK and are often considered exemplars of the form.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography">{{cite book |first=Martin C. |last=Strong |year=2000 |title=The Great Rock Discography |edition=5th |publisher=Mojo Books |location=Edinburgh |pages=769–770 |isbn=1-84195-017-3}}</ref><ref name="ALLMUSIC">[{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p19959|pure_url=yes}} Allmusic.com biography]</ref><ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book |first=David |last=Roberts |year=2006 |title=British Hit Singles & Albums |edition=19th |publisher=Guinness World Records Limited |location=London |isbn=1-904994-10-5 |page=192}}</ref> The emergence of a relatively homogeneous worldwide "rock" music style marking the end of the "invasion" occurred in 1967.<ref name="Britannica" />
