The Buckinghams

& The Box Tops

+ The Buckinghams formed in 1965 at the height of the British Invasion. After winning a "Battle of the Bands" contest in Chicago, the group recorded covers of hit songs before the debut of their first national hit Kind of a Drag, which went to #1 on the national pop charts. After signing with Columbia Records, they had back-to-back hits with Lawdy Miss Clawdy and Don't You Care, began appearing on such programs as The Ed Sullivan Show and American Bandstand, and later released a hit remake of Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, followed by Susan, Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song), and What is Love. In 1967 Billboard Magazine named them "the Most Listened to Band in America," with the distinction of having three hits on the national Top 10 at the same time.

Best known for hits like The Letter, which sold over four million copies and earned two Grammy Award nominations. Later hits included Cry Like a Baby, Neon Rainbow, I Met Her in Church and Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March, all of which are considered minor classics.
