Isaw your father singing in a club over the top of Woolworth s in Downham in and he went down a bundle .I also spent a night with him in the (Allnighter )some times known as the( Flamingo) club in Soho .They asked him to come on stage and sing a song and he stayed on the stage nearly all night and had the place rocking .
This was around 1949 or 1950 ,he was with a girl called Jackie who I danced the night away with .He was a great guy .
He would have been 69 tomorrow and I'm thinking of him today and watching and listening to his music in tribute. I never got to meet him. He died when I was a baby.
Your dad was the very best singer around, he could do anything from rock n' roll to swing. A wonderful artiste who the kids loved to watch on Oh Boy. I have a tape made to DVD and his CD to remind me of a great singer.. Last year I was watching a an old rocker who asked the audience to name their favourite singer from the fifties. I said Dickie and he was bowled over, no one had ever asked for Dickie but he knew I was on the money
Someone on our local recycling website is looking for a recording of the B side to this record - does anyone know the title of it so they can search better? Thanks
Dickie Pride was a "one off". A super entertainer and good singer.He would thump members of an audience if they took the "mick" out of his performance. A mixed up "cat".
Some say he was the best we had in Britain, this is a great single, good to see the old green Columbia.

Thought I'd tune in and experience a bit of Dickie Pride, since I'd read a few bits and pieces about him over the years.
As it happens, it turns out that I actually know this song. Classic.
