Dickie was my father and I would like to honor his memory by asking that you look up and get informed on his story before posting random comments.
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.
A great performer, and an electrifying act to watch. Check out the clip from Oh Boy 1959 when he sings Slippin and Slidin. He was only 17 at the time, but the authority and presence he displays are something very special indeed. Sadly missed.
What odd people some of you are - arguing over his death. He had problems, clearly there were drug and alcohol issues otherwise he wouldn't have died. However he had the best voice of any of the early British rockers and I'm grateful to those who post his songs. Let's remember him that way.
Lots of people think Dickie had a labotemy, but I have it on good authority he merely had a drug problem, which I understand he overcame before he died. GREAT SONG!
It was like an urban legend. The sheik of shake, had some issues, and was commited to a psych ward shortly after his glory years. He was troubled by alcoholsim, and thus his career was short. But, he will always be loved by rock and rollers, as his stuff was absolutely brilliant! Why do people believe urban legends? Beats me.
lobotomy was often done at that time and you would die, they only remove a small amount of the frontal lobe and it leaves you in a zombie like state, dickie was a very violent and unpredictable man and was a heavy drinker and drug user. labotomy is what the royal family use to do when they had a halfwit child born, quite often occurs with inbreeding, and they live out there lives in a nuthouse with no idea who they are
@roystonowl1 i suppose you got your info from dickie himslef did you. or did you read it in the sun, or some kind of 5th hand info in a dickie pride fan club magazine, it makes me laugh that people cannot accept facts, and cant verify there own views only shoot down other peoples.
Dickie pride died as a has been singer, if he had been any good he would have sold records he didnt, he fought with people, he ended up in a mental hospital
No. I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years. I'm not saying Dickie didn't have big problems, I'm questioning your knowledge of lobotomies.
That record it´s adapted her hole for playing on a JuKe-BoX..............thanks for that GREAT upload of Dickie .

I agree with you about his work. Woody Guthrie was also committed to a psych ward when they didn't really know what Huntingtons Curia was.

so he was junk a junkie with a violent temper who used to attack people for no reason.
a labotomy is used for junkies and people with mental problems, its just a small front of the frontal lobe area
