Description
The British duo only enjoyed one domestic hit, 'Yesterday's Gone' (UK #37, US #21), but rode the British Invasion wave in the States, racking up an additional five hits, including the perennial 'A Summer Song' (#7), as well as 'Willow Weep For Me' (#15), 'If I Loved You' (#23), 'What Do You Want With Me' (#51) and 'From A Window' (#97), before being snapped up by major label Columbia.
Their repertoire of pop originals, folk songs and standards was delivered in a distinctive soft-pop style with accompaniment ranging from simple acoustic to beat electric and lush orchestral.

Studio sessions produced in London by John Barry and Shel Talmy, and in NYC by Jimmie Haskell.
London sessions, including six live tracks, freshly remastered from original Ember tape sources.
