barclaycon 569 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 In some ways the Dave Clark Five were very under-rated. Not only did they have some great hit records, they also cracked America. In a lot of those BBC 4 documentaries, many artistes cite Dave Clark Five as being a major influence. I bought the re-mastered Greatest Hits a few years back and was suprised at how good they still sounded. They were perhaps over-shadowed by the Beatles in the late 60's - but they did have a much different sound. I think that only Dave Clark and Lenny Davidson are still with us, perhaps they'll be on that programme on Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think I went to see their film at The Elite? Do remember Stewpot playing Red Balloon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yep. 'Catch Us If You Can' was the film wasn't it ? Ed Stewart used to play Dave Clark Five stuff on Radio London, though 'Red Balloon' would've been on Radio 1 (1968). Wonder what the exact translation of 'Callow La Vita' is ?
