As lead singer and keyboardist with the Dave Clark 5, Mike Smith's distinctive voice dominated the international airwaves from 1964 to 1971 as the DC5 accumulated 30 global hit singles, most written by Clark and Smith, including "Glad All Over" and "Bits And Pieces." The group sold more than 100 million records, and made a record setting 18 appearances on CBS TV's ED SULLIVAN SHOW.

The Zombies, acknowledged by the Los Angeles Times Poll in the mid-90s as one of Britain's All-Time Top 10 Bands alongside The Beatles, Stones, Who and Led Zeppelin. Admired by contemporaries Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and The Byrds, and cited as hugely inspirational by artists as diverse as Pat Metheny and Tom Petty, the Zombies remain one of pop's most influential and revered bands.

Peter & Gordon's string of 17 chart records in the US began in 1964 with "World Without Love" (written by Paul McCartney) which was number one around the world and went on to include "I Go to Pieces", "Woman", "True Love Ways", "Lady Godiva" and more. Their particularly English take on close harmony singing made them a significant part of the first wave of the British Invasion.

The Fab Faux are without a doubt the most musically satisfying Beatles tribute band on the scene today. Boasting the high visibility of TV star/musicians Will Lee from The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Vivino from Late Night with Conan O'Brien; five strong lead vocalists (including Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, Jack Petruzzelli) and a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles' repertoire; this is the band to see if you want to know what it might have been like if The Beatles toured behind their later albums (with a healthy portion of the early guitar-based stuff that most tribute bands play.) Imagine hearing complex material like "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", performed in complete part-perfect renditions; or such harmony-driven songs as "Because", "Nowhere Man", and "Paperback Writer", reproduced not only note-for-note, but with extra vocalists available to achieve a double-tracked effect!

Paul Shaffer has been David Letterman's musical director and sidekick for over 21 years.

* All Proceeds To Benefit Mike Smith, whose neck was broken in an accident, leaving him tetraplegic (paralyzed below the ribcage with limited use of his upper body).
