    I don't recall Maureen Evans but moved to the States in 1963 and things were different there.

    I saw Peter and Gordon do this live way back then ...

      Maureen's biggest hit was 'Like I Do' and reached no 43 in the top 100 of 1963 - although her publicity said it was no 3 for the year, but that was its highest position.

      She had a good voice, started singing in the late 50's, but her pop career didn't last long.

                      Vaguely knew of them Logan as I was in the States from '63 through '77 and the music was fairly different then. Blackberry Way sounds familiar though. :smile:

                          In those days the artists wouldn't go over to the USA, apart from the Beatles and Dusty Springfield later on, that's if I'm right. I was born in 1957 so the early ones i wouldn't know much about. I only remember them through my oldest brother. :smile:
