The Overlanders were a folk and pop group from England.
They formed in the early 1960s. Originally playing folk songs, the band found success difficult during the beat era and so converted to a more mainstream sound. In 1964, they had a regional hit in the Chicago area of the United States, and in Australia, with a cover of "Don't It Make You Feel Good", a song written and recorded by The Shadows in UK.
Although they released twelve singles on the Pye record label between 1963 and 1966, the Overlanders' only British hit was a cover version of the Beatles' "Michelle", featuring arrangements by Tony Hatch, which went to #1 in the UK in 1966.
The group disbanded in 1968.
