Dave Dee dead

[mike88]

Some of the oldies on this forum might remember Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich from the 60s.

Their singer Dave Dee died yesterday from prostate cancer.

They were a band that didn't take themselves too seriously.

You'll be missed Dave.

Not sure if I'm the only person on this forum who remembers them, but one interesting thing about the song Hold Tight is that it is believed that the song was responsible for launching countless football chants, when you listen to the intro you can see where that came from.

Also the song featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie Death Proof.

Interesting, the clapping really gained ground at the '66 WC and probably remains THE England chant.

song was written in '65 so quite possible.

Also that clapping/chant appeared in the original Italian job theme (1969)

I remember Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich well from my early years in Nottingham! Thanks for the mention, sad though it is.
