Chad and Jeremy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chad and Jeremy were a singing folk rock duo in the 1960s, composed of Chad Stuart (born David Stuart Chadwick, 10 December 1941, in Windermere, Cumbria) and Jeremy Clyde. They were part of the "British Invasion", a large influx of British rock and pop musicians to the American music scene.

The duo's first single, "Yesterday's Gone", was their only real British hit; revelations of Jeremy's upper-class upbringing hurt their popular image. However, Chad and Jeremy's sensitive, strings-backed sound held a greater appeal in America, where they perhaps benefitted from an early 1960s strain of commercial folk music. Their second single, "A Summer Song", was hit #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Follow-ups "Willow Weep For Me" and "Before and After" reached the top 20, and altogether Chad and Jeremy had seven US top 40 hits during 1964-66.

The duo played themselves in a guest appearance on the TV series "Batman" in which the guest villain was Julie Newmar as Catwoman.

The duo played "The Redcoats" in a guest appearance on the TV series Dick Van Dyke Show.

They also had a guest appearance on the Patty Duke Show where they "performed" the song "The Truth Often Hurts the Heart."

They have recently reunited, and are now doing live acts.
