"Desdemona" by The Searchers

Hailing from Liverpool, The Searchers racked up a number of hits in the US in the 60s, most notably "Love Potion Number Nine," which spent two weeks at #3 in 1964. Their first chart appearance was earlier that year when "Needles And Pins" reached #13. Many will also remember "Don't Throw Your Love Away," which hit #16, also in 1964.

Their final showing on the chart was in 1971 when the excellent "Desdemona" stalled at #94. The group tried to mount a comeback in the late 70s and early 80s with some solid albums, but poor promotion by the record label doomed the noble effort.
