  • Great-enthusiastic singer of the DC5. To be enjoyed for years to come. Glad All Over that the misery is done.

  • My heart is broken; no more new music from one of the greatest husky-voiced singers ever. It’s good to know he was loved by so many. Thanks for everything, Mike Smith.

  • When the DC5 appeared on the scene I Liked them more than the The BeatLes.StiLL have their 45’s and remember when their songs topped the charts.Their induction in the Rock HaLL of Fame is reaLLY way past due. Very sorry to hear of the passing of singer Mike Smith.My favorite group of the British Invasion.

  • DC5 Rock! I only knew of Sex Clark Five until a couple years ago. Now I get the joke and have heard the great DC5. They had an unusually powerful sound for 1964. Anyway You Want It and Bits and Pieces have Punk and Metal punch. Mike Smith had a fantastic voice.

  • I have nothing but good memories of the DC5. ”Coast to Coast” was on my turntable for months after I purchased it. I’m watching tonight to just see them get their dues! I did not know Mike Smith died until about a week ago - I had tears in my eyes.
