"Because" is a song by The Dave Clark Five, recorded in 1964. Originally the B-side to "Can't You See That She's Mine" in the United Kingdom, "Because" was released as a single in the United States and reached number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Julian Lennon released a cover version of the song which peaked at number 40 on the UK Singles Chart in 1985. == Background and release == "Because" was written with the intention of being the Dave Clark Five's fifth US single, but the band's label, Epic Records, was initially resistant, believing the ballad strayed too far from the hit-making formula that had proven successful with the band's previous upbeat singles.〔 〕 In May 1964, the song was released in the UK as the B-side to "Can't You See That She's Mine". Clark insisted that "Because" be released as an A-side in the US, and Epic eventually agreed.〔 〕 The single entered the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart at number sixty in August, and peaked six weeks later at number three.〔 〕〔 〕 "Because" became the band's fifth US single to sell more than one million copies. In Canada, the song reached number three on ''RPM'' magazine's singles chart.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Because (The Dave Clark Five song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
