31. Pick a Bale Medley: Pick a Bail of Cotton/Sally Don't You Grieve/Goodni
The original trio were:
Paul Arnold – lead guitar, vocals (born Paul Arnold Friswell, 18 August 1942, Bretford, Rugby, Warwickshire)
Laurie Mason – piano, percussion, vocals (born 1 November 1940, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire)
Peter Bartholomew – guitar, vocals (born 20 May 1941, Andover, Hampshire)
Originally playing folk songs, the band found success hard to come by during the beat era, and so converted to a more mainstream sound. In 1964, they had a regional hit in the Chicago area of the United States, and in Australia, with a cover of "Don't It Make You Feel Good", a song written and recorded by The Shadows in UK. That same year, their rendition of Chad Stuart's "Yesterday's Gone" received much airplay in the US, and became a minor hit.
Although they released twelve singles on the Pye record label between 1963 and 1966, the Overlanders' only British hit was a cover version of the Beatles' "Michelle". It reached number 1 on the Record Retailer chart (subsequently the UK Singles Chart) in January 1966. In doing so, the single beat off a rival recording of "Michelle" by David and Jonathan, whose version was produced by George Martin and featured arrangements by Tony Hatch.
A collection of complete recordings, titled Michelle: The Pye Anthology, was released on CD by Castle Records in 2001.
