"Glad All Over" is a song written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith and recorded by The Dave Clark Five. In January 1964 it became the British group's first big hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart then in April 1964 later reaching number 6 on the U.S. pop singles chart, becoming the first British Invasion hit by an artist other than The Beatles. It also hit number one in Ireland. "Glad All Over" featured Smith leading unison group vocals, often in call and response style, a saxophone line used not for solo decoration but underneath the whole song, and a big, "air hammer" beat that underpinned wall of sound production known as the "Tottenham Sound".
