Everybody Knows (Dave Clark Five album)

Released in January 1968 on Epic Records, it contained four hit singles, a rock cover version of the old Bing Crosby hit "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby", the band's guitarist Lenny Davidson's song "Red and Blue", cover of the Majors soul song "A Little Bit Now", and the UK chartbuster "Everybody Knows".

The album's biggest UK hit "Everybody Knows" (written by Barry Mason and Les Reed) was sung by guitarist Lenny Davidson instead of the band's lead singer Mike Smith.

The artwork featured sepia-toned photographs of the band members, but the author was not credited (they used the same cover for their later UK album 5 By 5).

The reason for the failure in America may have been the group's declining popularity, noticeable in the success of their singles in the US (the UK smash hit "Everybody Knows" remained at No.

One of the grooviest tracks is a swinging, hard-driving updating of You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby..."[6] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Richie Unterberger wrote about the songs, "Some of them saw the group competently, if not excitingly, adapt to trends in late-'60s production with an increased brassiness, as they do on the soul-pop tunes A Little Bit Now and Inside and Out."
