Amazing. That a live clip of this masterpiece has survived is answered prayer! The flip side of the oriiginal 45 is a great version of All Of Me. Would love to see a live clip of that one, as well.
Went on a school trip to Amsterdam 1960 aged 12. This was on all the juke boxes. At the time, pure musical tumescence. Amazing; never thought Id hear it again. Wish the tumescence could so readily be called up!
Dialog, den ich mindestens 1x die Woche führe : "wie heisst du ?" ich: "Ramona" "Aah, da gibts ja ein Lied. Kennst du das ?".. Und dann fangen sie zu singen an. Immer wieder sehr unterhaltsam gg*
I heard they were Indonisian from Netherland (Holland), even older songs could easily find in most of the web sites, how come their english hit song so popular couldn't be found in any song lyric web sites?
No sabía el origen de los integrantes de este grupo, solamente escuchaba "RAMONA" en los remotos años sesentas, aquí en México... ahora me gustan doblemente, lástima que uno de ellos ya murió. =:))
Although their last hit was in 1971, they continued to perform together up until Ruud died at the end of year 2000. Riem continues to perform and release albums.
Called the 'Dutch Everly Brothers', The Blue Diamonds covered many Everly Brothers songs, but became famous in 1960 with their version of 'Ramona,' a song originally written for the 1928 movie 'Ramona.' The song was written for promotional appearances with Dolores Del Rio (star of the film) but not featured in the film itself. The Blue Diamonds up-tempo version of it reached the American Billboard Hot 100: #72.
The Blue Diamonds were a Dutch 1960s doo-wop duo best known for their chart topping single Ramona. Indo (Dutch-Indonesian) brothers Ruud de Wolff (born May 12, 1941, died Dec 2000) and Riem de Wolff (born April 15, 1943) founded the group shortly after immigrating to the Netherlands in 1949. They were born in Batavia (now Jakarta) , Indonesia.
Yikes, I was like 9 years old when this song comes out and my family had this record and that was like 1962. OMG I feel soo old now, brought back nice memories of childhood in Manado Indonesia.
I remember this song, when I graduated from HS in 1961. Thanks pal, I love Holland, even when I live in the US. Holland, is the best country in Europe. Thanks
Ruud en Riem de Wolff, Ramona, tijdloos.
Ouwe sok van 1953 is er nog steeds van gecharmeerd.
Geweldig nummer!
