Following a debut single (You’ve Done It Again Little Girl) on Decca they moved to Columbia where they scored a #33 hit with their single Seven Golden Daffodils in 1964. Despite backing from Mickie Most, they were unable to replicate this success with any of their three subsequent singles for Columbia between 1964 and 1966 – including cover versions of Billy Fury‘s Wondrous Place and Wilson Pickett‘s Land of 1000 Dances. The band appeared in a comedy film directed by Michael Winner and starring Lionel Jeffries, Bernard Cribbins and Terry Thomas called You Must Be Joking (1965) before eventually changing their name to New York Public Library and releasing cover versions of The Rascals‘ I Ain’t Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore and The Doors‘ Love me Two Times. Later they changed their name to New York Public Library and had some success with a cover of The Rascals' "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore". They released further singles on MCA in 1968, including a cover of The Doors' "Love Me Two Times" and called it a day in 1975. https://nostalgiacentral.com/music/artists-a-to-k/artists-c/cherokees/ (2021) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 RAHdroberts 4/9/2014 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 f66a3fee-92e4-4b8f-862b-8b430cf01259
