The Overlanders The Girl From New York City Outro (1966)

The Overlanders were a British music group active during the 1960s. 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.
