Don't know if this qualifies, as Sparks started their career in their home-country, but not much happened for them until they hopped the pond.

Scott Walker and the Stray Cats (like Sparks, Hendrix, etc.) were other americans who found success in the UK. One of the Monkees was actually british right?
