Chad and Jeremy

Chad and Jeremy were a singing duo in the 1960s, composed of Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde. They were part of the "British Invasion", a large influx of British rock and pop musicians to the American music scene.

The duo's first single, "Yesterday's Gone", was their only real British hit; relevations of Jeremy's upper-class upbringing hurt their popular image. However, Chad and Jeremy's sensitive, strings-backed sound held a greater appeal in America, where they perhaps benefitted from an early 1960s strain of commercial folk music. Their second single, "A Summer Song", was hit #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Follow-ups "Willow Weep For Me" and "Before and After" reached the top 20, and altogether Chad and Jeremy had seven US top 40 hits during 1964-66.

By 1968 the duo had dissolved, with Jeremy Clyde more interested in acting, in which he had a successful career.
