The Sir Douglas Quintet (from San Antonio) supposedly came up with their name to sound British
The SDQ actually masqueraded as English, at least for a time. Supposedly their first album (not a compilation despite the title) had the cover photo done in silhouette in order to hide the Mexicans.
After their single "I Want Candy" became a hit in the late summer of 1965, The Strangeloves put out an album.
Press releases explained that The Strangeloves were three brothers from Australia. Miles, Niles, and Giles Strange had given up sheep farming in order to start a rock and roll band.
It was all a lie.
The Strangeloves were NYC writer-producers Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer, who'd previously hit #1 w/ "My Boyfriend's Back".
The NYC session group Crazy Elephant had one hit (the classic "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin', w/perhaps the most incompetent-- er, I mean avant-garde guitar solo in top 40 history) and were initially promoted as being a group of Welsh coal miners.

The following is a list of bands and artists that were involved with the British Invasion music phenomenon that occurred between 1964 and 1966 in the United States.

What an Invasion!

The Brit bands were copying the black bands that american radio stations wouldn’t play. White radio producers were still pushing big band crooners, doo-wap, elvis, and modern jazz. British bands came in riffing on Wilson Pickett, Buddy Guy, Little Richard, and Ike Turner and those radio stations gave them airplay because they were more “palatable”.
Skiffle music
The American scene in the late 50's and early sixties was pretty bad. When you have people like Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Lesley Gore, etc., making the charts that speaks volumes. Thank God for the Brit Invasion and the rise of the Beach Boys and Motown.

Rockabilly died, killed by the popularity of Frankie, Fabe, and other teen idols. But the mass media has never been comfortable w/anything too country anyway.
But there was great doo wop and vibrant R&B scenes in NO and Detroit, as well as great music from the Brill building in NYC. It may have lacked the raw intensity of early rockabilly and R&B, but technically it could equal any pop music ever produced.
And Leslie Gore made some pretty good records!
