His understudy looked like Neil Diamond, tried too hard. I took my cousin to that not knowing Denny wouldn't be there, so we went back (my fifth time). After the show my cousin suggested we wait for the band to come out and i met Denny. I was really nervous and shook his hand way too hard. He was a very considerate and kind guy. We also took a picture with the actress who played Cass. I heard the drummer was dating the actress who played Michelle. I was very sad when Denny passed away.

I responded to a similar post like this before, but here's how I see it... as a "loose" justification for saying that: It depends how you look at it..... anytime a band bumped the Beatles from the number 1 spot, be it in a song or album, technically you could say at that moment (and for a SHORT time), they were "bigger". There were several bands that held that distinction, including the Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, and The Monkees, to name but three. So in terms of having a more popular record that week, or that month, then yes, by sales standards or radio request standards you could say they were temporarily "bigger". And I'm the biggest Beatles fan there is, so I get why people question this. Over the long haul, the Beatles always were and always will be the biggest.
