Believe it or not, the Beatles were NOT the first UK band to chart in the US charts. Surprised? Just assumed this occurred during the British invasion. However the answer to our trivia today is The Tornados with "Telstar". There had been three occasions where Brits had been on the chart as solo acts. Vera Lynn in 1952, Laurie London in 1958 and Acker Bilk in 1962, however this was the first group so chart....so hear ya go and happy Thursday!
