The Naturals were one of the more mysterious bands ever to chart with a cover of a Beatles song. Not much is known for sure about them, other than their origins and lineup. They came out of Harlow, Essex, with a lineup that included Ricky Potter on lead vocals and Curt Cresswell on lead guitar, and were at one point apparently known as the Blue Beats, before taking on the name the Cossacks and finally settling on the Naturals in early 1964. They were signed to EMI's Parlophone label at around this same time, and made their debut late that winter with "Daisy Chain" b/w "That Girl." The record didn't do anything, but their rendition of "I Should Have Known Better," from the soundtrack of A Hard Day's Night, made the U.K. charts in the summer of 1964, peaking at number 24. That record even earned them a performing (or, really, miming) spot on Ready! Steady! Go! on August 14, 1964, marking the peak of the group's national exposure. The Beatles cover proved a fluke in their history, however, one they were never able to repeat or build on -- two more singles followed that never charted, and by early 1965 the band had called it quits. Cresswell and drummer Roy Heather later resurfaced as members of the Living Daylights. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
