THE INVASION - Buchanan & Greenfield
Novel 711 - September 11, 1964; #22 WLS

Bill Buchanan first hit the charts as the partner of Dickie Goodman in 1956, with the novelty break-in record “Flying Saucer.” After several more records as Buchanan & Goodman, Goodman decided to go solo in 1961 and had a long career with novelty break-ins.

Buchanan, meanwhile, teamed up with Howard Greenfield, Neil Sedaka’s co-writer on many of his hits, for a timely break-in record about the British Invasion. More specifically, this break-in is about the Beatles, but the Beatles break-ins here aren’t actually from the Beatles singles.

This novelty reached #22 on the WLS Silver Dollar Survey and as an “Up’N’Coming” tune on the WJJD Top-40 list. It reached low in the top-40s in a number of cities, but not high enough to break into the national top-100. It made #120 on Billboard, #134 on Cashbox, and #123 on Record World.
