Graham Bonney - Supergirl 1966

[Brainstormerbubble]

I would have only been about 2 years old when that came out first in '66 although I often heard it played on the radio long after that, strange to think that most of that "teenage" audience will be old age pensioners now :O, grand song mind :)

[eurocharter]

If anyone has the follow-up single LATER TONIGHT please upload.

I've been looking for it for years

[kingsfleet21]

the lovely girl dancing with the striped top on the right is like a ghost from my past at that time, lovely memories, still got the single somewhere.

[IceMage95]

Danke....auch ein Oldie ....richtig....da war die Welt für uns noch in Ordnung....

[kaimann]

Der Typ, der bei 0:42 auf die Bühne kommt, ist für mich einer der größten Helden des Alltags! Würde gerne wissen, wer das ist.

[poefrie]

at the age of 16 i met a girl and we dance to "supergirl" , now we`re 42 years

married ....

[MrHotball]

beatclub radio bremen waren das für zeiten 1966

[dick19581]

BIG ONE!! Great memories!!

[Streetsline005]

Jaaaaaa das ist so geil hab ich früher mit Papalein immer jeeehört :)

[g7vak]

AAaaaarghhh! I have this single 45rpm at home. A hit in Britain this wasn't!

[renecyberdoc]

with an earring i would have been out of the game

nowadays i wear 2 earrings hehehehe,song brings back sweet memories first kiss and this line.

[barrycards]

Did the tall guy think he was Superman if so wrong show

[Oberlahnsteiner]

Oh ja - es waren tolle Zeiten und Titel wurde ein Superhit... ;-D

[blossomsquirrel]

Not so much 'funny', more like a failed attempt to upstage/ take the P out of Graham Bonney. 

[hammertoejoe]

I love the tall dancing guy... would someone help me with Graham's "That Bad Day" song (I think it was the B-side from "!Happy Together")...

[MrLawman10]

this guy loves himself, great song though

[SgtOBrien]

Graham tries to ignore the dancing guy. Funny.

[westnblu]

@SgtOBrien the dancin guy is actually a girl!! look closely she wearin an earing no guys wore earings back then!! 

[SgtOBrien]

@westnblu Do you really mean the person coming into the video at 0:43? Sorry, but to me this one is male.

[westnblu]

@SgtOBrien no u right i didnt even notice that guy i was thinkin 1.25

[SgtOBrien]

@westnblu no problem ;-)

[Twinkle3067]

1.46 So that's where my black & white dress went that mum made me

[MrMprinz]

Hi Fritz5133, hat Graham Bonney eigentlich nur 4 englische Titel gesungen damals?

VG Marion

[MrMprinz]

Graham Boney - mein Favorit damals - er gefällt mir heute noch. Diese Aufnahme stammt aus dem Beat Club - hab ich auch zuhause. Wie er das Micro hält....zum tot lachen!!! Und die ganzen Trampeltiere, die da mit ihm tanzen!!! Ich war damals 16 und ganz genau ein solches Trampeltier - wenn ich daran denke......um Gottes Willen!!!! Aber "Super Girl" liebe ich immer noch. Vielen Dank fürs posten

[pilninggas]

Really good song, only heard it once on British Radio - on Brian Matthew's show on Radio 2.

[Gibbland2009]

Der hat mal in einem Howard Carpendale Konzert neben mir gesessen und ich wusste damals nicht, wer er war...

Hatte mich gewundert, warum viele herkamen und ein Autogramm von ihm haben wollten...

[MrMprinz]

@Gibbland2009 Wie alt bist du denn, das du das nicht gemerkt hast?? Ich wünschte, der hätte neben mir gesessen!!!

[Gibbland2009]

@MrMprinz

Das ist gut 20 Jahre her....bin 42 ; )

Graham war mir damals unbekannt...

Beim HC Konzert saß ich in der 1. Reihe, Graham ist nach 20 Minuten wieder rausgegangen, da er Howard nicht die Show stehlen wollte. Er war übrigens sehr nett und hat gegrüßt, als er sich hinsetzte, das machen nicht mal die "normalen" Konzertbesucher.

[MrMprinz]

@Gibbland2009 Aja - dann bist du ja noch jung! Ich bin 60 und habe Graham Boney von Anfang an mitbekommen. Und er war - und ist es immer noch - ein ganz sympatischer Mensch.Er lebt hier in der Nähe.....schade, hab ihn noch nie kennengelernt. V.G. aus Köln

[Gibbland2009]

@MrMprinz

Jung ist gut *hihihi*

Vielleicht kommt irgendwann der Tag....

Lieben Gruß aus der Pfalz.

[MrMprinz]

@MrMprinz wer weiß!!! Danke

[loveshair]

surprised that this wasn't even a mild hit in the States . it's really good and could be considered "beach music" in the southeastern U.S.

[sabinoson]

Interesting how the dancing in England is distinct from the go go dancing here in the US of the same time period. Very nice song.

[TENRECORDS]

This reminds me of the Orchid ballroom in Purley, it was the only place to be on Saturday, we went there on motorcycles,scooters, by bus, car, anyway we could, the music was excellent and the women were nice, 60s groove street!

[fiutare1]

His moves are so...... embarrasing ;-)

[mewrth]

There is also a live performance of Barefootin' by Graham Bonney on beat club in 1966. He had a great tight band behind him. Can anyone post it?

[NelsonsHat]

Oh the innocence, its too much to bear, so nostalgic, when you met a girl during that era you really thought you were in love lol

[TheSumsemann]

habe den sogar live erlebt

[TheSumsemann]

mann da war ich sweet sixteen

[morgenistallesgut]

lol, this is sooooo coool. :)

[r3gr]

lol @ 0:42 :D

[czechport]

Václav Neckář - Hej, dívko zlá (1968)

.

watch?v=Lx_FMh7oT4U

[pborrellij]

Would this have been from "Ready, Steady, Go"?

So glad I found this here. It's a forgotten nugget nugget from the British Invasion.

[JAYROX1969]

No, its from BEATCLUB a similar type show from Germany.

[ozgribbo]

Just a good pop song, nothing deep in the lyrics

[piroschka6]

das  war meine erste single....toller beat!!

[judehall1]

Love this video and the song is a one off Fantastic Great post Maany thanks xxx

[jbb22310]

looks like a guy i use to work with--even moves like him......LOL!!!!! and that guy getting up there dancing with him....lol

[JerryBen]

Dieses Lied hat einfach etwas schönes. Eine Ode an die tollen Mädels der Beat-Ära. Einfach genial...Ich wünschte ich wäre in dieser genialen Zeit aufgewachsen....

[Pejelo1]

Ja, da hast Du wirklich was verpaßt. Ich bin seit 25 Jahren Alleinunterhalter und mit dieser Musik aufgewachsen. Bei meinen Auftritten kommt immer eine ganz tolle Stimmung auf, wenn ich die Oldies aus dieser Zeit spiele und vortrage. Was auch zu erwähnen ist, es gab keinen Suff unter den Jugendlichen und es herrschte ein höflicher Umgang miteinander. Eben eine geniale Zeit !

Gruß Mister Mc.Swing

[flughein]

es war eine wunderschöne zeit, ich durfte sie erleben! Meine Frau und ich besuchen heute noch gerne oldiefestivalsund genießen die Musik von damals.

LG

Flughein

[mansa168]

@JerryBen Hallo, das stimmt, da hast du was verpasst. Das waren noch Zeiten . Kann ich nur bestätigen bin Jahrgang 1950

[thallassocracy]

Graham Bonney was one of the most successful British imitations of MOR US Schlagermusik.

But by 1966 he was ten years too late to be taken seriously.

[derwillider]

Das singt er heute noch - - - - manchmal auch beim Studiofest des WDR in Dortmund

[Georgiahulse]

What do people think this song is about? Every song means a different thing to different people, and I have my own iinterpretation of it - but I'd love to know what other people (especially men) think of it??? The line "your world it's plain to see, aint right for you and me" seems to me like he's saying you're too focused on your friends and their world, and it's clear we can't be together. Am I right?

[oovidio]

Hey, Stupid Girl!? Hey, hey!

[dschonsie]

das ist genau die art musik,die mich,einen amtlich beglaubigten tanzdilettanten,zum "hopsen" bringt.

[redredreds100]

das england 4-2

[ihgermany]

echt klasse ... auch wenn schnulzig .. war da gerade mal 6 jahre alt und meine liebe mutter 23 ! ...

[MrWelshrick]

its like footsie brill and crap at the same time so many that made northern soul what it is today

[abbiisthebest]

its a shit song but ... ma nana luves it lol x

[GeorgeBguitar]

Hes a really good friend if my grandads. came to his 70th party last night :)

[kpkpdeyahoodee]

LOVE BRITTA! Born in 1966!

[Puipendeckel]

Vielleicht abstrus,

aber der Song erinnert mich immer wider an den Flughafen Berlin Tempelhof.

Hab da Supergirl zu ersten mal, als damals 2 jähriger gehört.

Seit dem verbinde ich den Titel gedanklich damit.

Super Nummer l!!

[clattybrown2]

Simply fantastic Thanks

Love live Mod and the Northern soul sound

*****

[TheWelshrick]

totally agree its one of thoses crapand brillsongs at the time ktf

[clattybrown2]

TheWelshrick True say my friend

[saltifish]

That guy that gets up and dances is funny but a good example of 60's style.

[flughein]

Da war die Welt noch in Ordnung! Super Stimmung und immer gut drauf! Gruß an alle Oldies!

[mbofalzer]

@flughein Kalr war die Welt in Ordnug. Die erste Freundin, Mama hat gekocht und gewaschen. Was will man mehr. Vielleicht eine Stunde länger in der Disco bleiben

[Firgasz]

@flughein

Oha... das alte "früher war alles besser" Syndrom. Aber ist nicht schlimm, diese Verklärungen aufgrund des zeitlichen Abstandes sind normal und treten bei allen auf. Künftige Generationen werden das selbe von heute sagen. Und so weiter....

[Firgasz]

@Firgasz

Ein bisschen Wahrheit an der "früher war alles besser" ist natürlich dran!

[msbfd]

In an alternate universe where "gay" wasn't an insult, I'd say "that's so gay". As it is, those guys were so CUTE!!!

Supergirl?

[Artemis9749]

Das war genau meine Zeit..schwärm..hab ihn auch live gesehn...vll.steh ich ja da irgendwo dabei...gg

[Ianpbx]

It's those crazy Germans again!

[dazzledog6]

Did he used to be in "The Riot Squad" ??does anyone know?

[adyc71]

Yes, Graham Bonney was the singer in the Riot Squad

[dazzledog6]

Oh, goodness,i saw them live in 1965/66,,Always wondered why they never really made it.Thought they were brilliant.Thanks for that.

[adyc71]

I've got the compilation album on vinyl of their singles that I bought 20 years ago (think it has been re-issued on cd) and in the sleeves notes it mentions his brief moment in the spotlight with this single.

[anitashelby]

Great Fun Song & Video!!! I Love to watch these old clips from the past..Thanks

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

This was fun to listen to + watch

These dance moves take me back lol!!!

Cheers Slumbers2(supergirl) super shares

[garyco345]

Great fun song from way back.

[GAZI1953]

ach, den Graham Bonney gabs ja damals auch noch. Muss die gleiche Zeit gewesen sein wie "er ist wieder da" oder "Winter in Kanada". diese songs habe ich eher durch Freundinnen gekannt. war intensiv mit Ofarim, Stones, Doors und Gerhard Höllerich beschäftigt.

[sidensvans54]

Lovely song from happier times:)

[obermaat11]

die gute alte zeit.....

[nursechilly]

nice track to chair dance to these days.. :P :)

[wastl700]

Seen this clip first in 1967, my parents allowed me to watch German Beat Club on Saturday afternoon. Was about 7 years old that time...Really can remember me to that old bw TV..

[africa241]

I fell in love with this song & G.B. after seeing it on Top of the Pops YONKS ago. It just suddenly came back into my head today whilst playing with my granddaughter!!!

[lizardte]

este tio es un capullo de los que ya no hay me pilla a mi el pelo asi y l ereviento la cabeza

[mrshenley1980]

JOB'S DAIRY SUNBURY ??

[colin803]

[hexxxxe133]

hey supergirl, hey, hey

[nellly1957]

I first heard this at the Mecca disco in Stafford (Tower ballroom?) in around 1975 and thought it was great. I went to buy it but it had long since been deleted as a single even then. Some months later I saw an EMI re-issue in Ruby Red Records, Wolverhampton. It was in the window with a sign pointing "Look! Supergirl is back !" So it must have been in demand. I still have it - what a great sound. Something to tell your Dad Melitta !

[MelittaScrutts]

Now you can show your class mates Kobi, that grandad was and still is a pop star. Bet they'll believe you now when they see this. Love ya! xx

[MelittaScrutts]

Well i have to say, i love him too, seen as he's my dad and still going strong! Rock on dad!!

[mjdserv]

bet your laughing at them feet max

[367942]

oh goodness yes..what about her hair lol

[mjdserv]

[malcolm2611]

[rojox99]

Thanks for posting this lost classic. I love the saxes. I recall this record being played all the time at the Club a'GoGo, Newcastle in 1966. The other two records I remember being played at the same time are Lighting Strikes by Lou Christie and Ain't That Peculiar by Marvin Gaye. All great songs.

[tangerineatom]

this is a classic i remember this from wigan casino.

[regie00mental]

Great video, and one of my favourite songs. Thanks.

[chairmanphil]
