British Beat (My Music)

In 1964, the sounds of The Beatles broke through the airwaves of U.S. radio stations, leading to the British Invasion of American music. Soon, a vast array of talent from across the pond enjoyed great success in the States with hit songs that still remain popular over four decades later. Legendary songstress Petula Clark, who reached #1 with her smash Downtown, hosts MY MUSIC: THE BRITISH BEAT, which offers new concert performances by such iconic performers as Peter & Gordon, Eric Burdon & The Animals, The Zombies, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Herman's Hermits Starring Peter Noone, Lulu, Wayne Fontana, Reg Presley & The Troggs, Chad & Jeremy, Paul Jones (formerly of Manfred Mann), Mike Pender's Searchers, The Tremeloes and Denny Laine (formerly of The Moody Blues). The late Dusty Springfield is also featured in vintage footage from the '60s.
