"Everybody Knows" is a 1967 song by the Dave Clark Five, also known as "Everybody Knows (You Said Goodbye)", to avoid confusion with their 1964 song, " Everybody Knows (I Still Love You)." The song features lead vocals by Lenny Davidson, unusual among their songs.
The song was a major hit in their native UK, where it reached number two. It was also a Top 10 hit in Ireland and New Zealand, peaking in both nations at number six. "Everybody Knows" narrowly missed the Top 40 in the U.S., where it reached #43 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their final entry of two dozen hits.
Cash Box said it has a "haunting melody and splendid vocal strength." [1]
