Richard Huxley

 Richard Huxley (August 5, 1940 – February 11, 2013)

Huxley was a musician and the bassist for the Dave Clark Five, a group that was part of the British Invasion. Born at Livingstone Hospital, Dartford, Kent, he joined the group in 1958, originally as a guitarist, before switching to bass, and played on all of the band's hits. In 1964, they enjoyed four Top-Ten Chart placings with "Glad All Over", "Bits and Pieces", "Can't You See That She's Mine" and "Because" which led to an appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" during that year. They continued to further cement their place in rock and roll history in 1965 with the hits "I Like It Like That", "Catch Us If You Can" (which resulted in The Dave Clark Five starring in a motion picture of the same title) and the number one score "Over and Over". They experienced their final Top-Ten song with "You Got What It Takes" (1967). After they disbanded in 1970, Huxley moved onto the real estate industry but remained in the music business.
He was in attendance for the ceremonial induction of the group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008, along with Lenny Davidson and Dave Clark. Huxley died on February 11, 2013, after suffering from emphysema for some years. He was 72.
