Dick and Dee Dee Where Did All The Good Times Go?

[lady12480]

Looks like the 60's WERE the good times

[louisyoung1]

Hi Dee Dee Very nice video,I had forgotten how pretty you are.Thanks for all the good songs and memories.xoxoxo Lou

[jhem50]

Where did they go??

[MichaelHansenFUN]

wee see this at a live showing of 16mm films...

[Sugaree1956]

Love this song. It grew on me, and when the lyrics about the last phone call forever are sung, it hurts way down deep, for all of the lost loves in the past. Love Dick and Dee Dee.

[wb5oxq]

I bought her book the vinyl highway and it is a must read for those who remember the 60s! DeeDee was sweet and answered my emais too. I bought a best of cd from her too since i had worn out young and in love on a 45.

[wwrigle2]

Where was this filmed at?

[buggeringon]

does any one remember dick and deedee singing when you re young and in love it was one of my favourites but not listed on you tube ?

[gayboylaca]

A cute presentation of a great song.

[hookalakah]

Any idea where this was shot?

[stevapalooza]

I've never seen anyone look so depressed while holding cotton candy.

[19dick68]

I was always wondering who did the falsetto voice. I can hear two voices but maybe there are 3 voices ?

[OnlyMargotTenenbaum]

I went to a Scopitone night in Berlin today, and it was the best thing I experienced for years. I also saw this video and I was totally amazed by this song. Thank you so much, you two!

[DCLAURIE]

That DeeDee was Hot !!

Like to have seen her in a bikini !!

[sabinoson]

Interesting how in most of these Scopitones, the action on film has almost nothing to do with the lyrics of the respective songs! LOL!

[MrBEB123]

After the evil Allies won WW II people stopped listening to symphonic music and started listening to cheap, shallow "music" such as this. This started in a long downward spiral of all types of entertainment and culture to where our society or what is left of it is today. In the future we can expect something similar to the film series Planet of the Apes.

[kdk782]

I was a teenager in WA state when these came out and I got most your records. I enjoy your voices together, it has a wondeful sound. I do not think anyone can ever come close to the sound. Thanks for your dazzling music..

[henrypeckstv]

so great to hear dee dee is still at it

[Budma30k]

Videos sure have come a long way, i always loved these two and to this day when i here the song, TELL ME i still think of an old girl friend from 45 years ago.That song is still on the top of 10 all time ,ripe your heart out songs of all time.

[0to9andZtoA]

I have to say that I think that might be the worst video I've ever seen. At least the music sucked too! Good lord, bad taste IS timeless. Ish!

[4battis]

dick and dee dee were really good and i didnt realize this until i listened 2 all their songs it was before my time but it mustve been fun back then

[mankielty]

love it

[eghtlarg]

WHOA! How did I get 2 dis vid

[bijeto]

0:45 - I think he shot that girl in the ass!

[hebneh]

"HEY KIDS! Play with Peppy the Musical Clown!"

Positive attributes of this Scopitone:

1) DeeDee's white vinyl go-go boots

2) DeeDee's teased hair/wiglet with height in the back

3) Multiple go-go dancers

[jhem50]

yes..the video is what it is..but then so is the music. And that is Prime Dick and DeeDee. Touching, haunting, never to be repeated again. Truly wonderful.

[emeraldpink]

I have this video on a Scopitone collection tape, and I absolutely love it except for the idiotic gyrating girls in it. I love how Deedee never even looks at any of them for a moment, but is singing very seriously (okay--lip synching), which is what the lyrics call for.

I especially love the brief scene down at oceanside.

[ocmar0415]

Great song.

Thanks

[blinko656]

Costa Mesa Feb 14th live in person along with kathy Young! Yep Im going.. neener neener.

[atakra]

This video is the greatest.

[piemouth1]

The manner in which those go go dancers shook their bottoms in this video actually became an influential element in some of the more important developments in late twentieth century political thought. It also struck me as a wise move on the director's part to have both Dick and Dee Dee each hold not one but two sticks of cotton candie. Well done to all involved.

[whatever30345]

The way those go-go dancers shook their bottoms still have influence on elements of political thought into the 21st century -- one not only has to look in the direction of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and his Applachian Trail for that evidence.

[COCritic]

This actually appears to have been shot at Ocean Park (Later Pacific Ocean Park) in Santa Monica, California. A classic oceanside boardwalk amusement park. Long gone, but not forgotten. I would add POP or Pacific Ocean Park to the key words for this video as I know there are many Ocean Park fans who would love to see the footage.

[atakra]

Wow. I miss the early 60's now... When drugs were easy to come by.

[oldskoolcoinop]

A darn good question in this song.

[lukauskis]

hehe great clip :)

[terrehaute6670]

I loved Dick and Dee. I just finished her book. Someone asked where the video was taped. My Dad said it looks like the old Park of the Pacific ,AKA POP ,which was in Long Beach Calif.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Where Did All The Good Times Go -A-Go-Go

[DBD34GS]

I still have about 300 45"s and about the same number of albums from the sixties and seventies. Priceless.

[secretcloud]

This music is incredible. Wish more modern music had as much soul as this stuff does.

[ChristopherClem]

This scene must look like it is right out of Cape Cod where that group got their musical training nearby and also met and visited some of their best friends and the family home of the then current President Kennedy who was killed by a Ku Klux Klansman because he authored a law outlawing racist speech and writing that was passed easily by Congress who really restrains the political power of the US President

[lazydogs]

Hey, the cd is great. But, just like the records, it may be wearing out... ha, ha. In addition, this time I know where to get a replacement. Thanks, very much.

[pua7oooo]

like yoe hair it's look's cool man

[ButterflyOne1223]

I remember these videos--these were pre-MTV back in the day when there were no cable or Directv.

For all you young'ens, Dick and Dee laid the foundation for many singers today. Dick, unfortunatly is not with us anymore, he passed on several years ago, but Dee Dee is still around to share memories of their career.

[pua7oooo]

dee dee have  a cool xmass 2006 and have many more your freind kevin from HI honolulu

[pua7oooo]

deedee dick was a cool man will miss him

[pua7oooo]

boy deedee your a foxie  lady wish i knew you back then bron to young man i miss miss out

[cornwallthedragon]

I fell in love with this song when I first heard it when I was about eight years old back in 1982. My mother's 45's were all out and I played each one of them including this one. I still have the WB 45 of this song. It's a little scratchy but it plays without a skip.

[charcon953]

"Tell Me" was my all time favorite song. I'm 62 years old

[rockitradio]

Hi DeeDee,

How great is this!!! You and Dick did a fantastic job on this scopitone. I remember you talking about this at Lane and Pat's last Rock-it Radio get together. I hope you have more and will post them on youtube!

Take care and all the very best,

Bennie & Jan @ Rock-it Radio

[scotpens]

Technically they weren't TVs, they were 16mm films shown on a back-projection screen. They were similar to the Panoram jukeboxes that played "soundies" (one-reel musical performance films) in the 1940s.

The Scopitone machine was designed and manufactured in France, and many of the original Scopitone films are of French pop stars who are largely unknown in the U.S.

[tanzaib]

when was this video film shot?

[dickanddeedee]

This "video" was shot in film (there were no videos then) as part of the Scopitone series (music scenes shown on tvs attached to juke boxes)in either 1964 or 1965. Dee Dee Phelps - dickanddedee

[kevinvandine]

you guy's sound cool hope you are still alive and if keep on going gol bless you for your song's

[dickanddeedee]

Thanks for your comment. Dick passed away in 2003, but I'm still alive. Please visit dickanddeedee website for more videos and information.

Best Wishes, Dee Dee Phelps

[breadmaker99]

A beautiful record, pure soul, underrated popcorn tune and a brilliant video. I came all the from the Uk to walk on that pier and this video was on my mind, live long deedee

[luckyshow]

Our culture is dying when dorks who don't like a song or singer insist on making disgusting comments about it and the performers. Such insecure people wjo have no faith in their tastes

[whispperson]

These songs are hard to come by, but they are great. Thanks for putting this on here.

[frightfan1]

Great stuff! I love the Dick and Dee Dee sound(and Dee Dee is SO beautiful) This Scopitone turned up on Elvira's 1985 MTV Halloween special.

[lazydogs]

Good quality, good song

[lazydogs]

About a year ago, I tried the nearest music store to have them order cds but no luck. They couldn't find it. Their vocals and the music style sounds very authentic and unique unlike modern styles which are designed by record company executives for 200 hundred bands. I think thats why most bands become uninteresting after a few years.

[dickanddeedee]

"The Best of Dick and Dee Dee" CD is available on the Dick and Dee Dee website, listed on the top right of this page. Check out other vintage videos there as well.

[speedy45rpm]

Thanks so much for posting these. I was buying these records when they came out -- the early stuff on Liberty -- also later loved your version of "All My Trials." Never realized you did such videos; was this filmed at Santa Monica Pier? And isn't that where you and Dick are from? I don't mean the pier, I mean Santa Monica.

Thank you for all the wonderful music and great memories!

[dickanddeedee]

Yes, Dick and I did live in Santa Monica, California. You're right. This video (actually filmed by a movie camera)was shot at the Santa Monica Pier. It's a Scopitone. You can Google that to find out more about the juke boxes with tv's on top!

Thanks for your comments. Dee Dee Phelps

[speedy45rpm]

A thrill to hear from you. Little did I suspect watching "Shindig" 40 some years ago that I would get a note from Dee Dee! Thanks again, and after having read a sample chapter from your book, I will be sure to order a copy and hope others do likewise.

[drewstuff]

Dear God..What Record Label would have put this out on a vid play,let alone a "single". God,"where did all the Good Times Go"???? After "thou Shalt Not Steal". God,is this hokey,or what. DeeDee looks like she is getting impaled on the Carousel Horse. This certainly was at the end (hopefully) of their career. AWFUL!!!!

[ibjiggie]

shit is dope as fuck and im about to sample this.

[simoneleone]

dee dee knows where the good times went.

she's ridin' that horse to 'em right now.

[sculptor1]

so sexy (not) - in that grey sweater on that kiddies horse ride asking where did all the good times go !

[glamourpho]

great song. dick died a few yrs ago . he fell while decorating a Christmas tree at his house.

they had 5 top 20 singles. 3 top 10s. with thou shalt not steal,mountain high and this one.

[samborez]

I always thought DeeDee was So pretty! Loved D&DD's "sound", too. (shoot the girl in the bikini,Dick)

[parody121]

The girl riding the horse MUST be an innuendo -- quite racy for the 60's, don't you think? Thanks for posting.

[lazydogs]

Re: parody121 (4 months ago) Nope - "Beach Blanket Bingo"

[MyronBreckinridge]

Great camp video! DeeDee sounds a little like a bleating goat. Also, are the girls dancing in the video hearing the same music we are? They seem to hit the rhythm only by accident.

[puckhead95]

Oi! Now I know where the Hootie/Burger ad idea came from.

[dickanddeedee]

Girls in bikini's will sell just about anything. What does that tell us about the culture???

[bisnagaboy]

ROFLMAO! Love that bikini clad chick dancing in the shooting gallery!

[dickanddeedee]

That dancer was obviously a favorite of someone producing Where Did All The Good Times Go, because she's front and center in almost every scene. Typical of most Scopitones are "bikini clad clicks" dancing about.

[Tuggle]

Looks like one of the dancers from the Brook Benton "Mother Nature, Father Time" Scopitone that I posted.

[revnstpaul]

thats funny, I saw this first and left a simular comment on the other video !

[biosphere1000]

LOL, did he kill her?
