The McCoys - Hang on Sloopy ( official music video )

[wmsbgolfer]

I believe this video was made in 1975. I've written Rick and hope he let's us know the name of the dancer.

[jvaahtera]

This version is a playback from Rick Derringer's solo outing from his 1975 LP Spring Fever. John Siomos (drums), John Siegler (bass), Edgar Winter (organ, marimba, sax), and a bunch steel drum players (George I. Isaac, Alston Clewelyn Jack, Emmanuel Riley). Allen Nichols, Edgar Winter & Dan Hartman. The only "McCoy" being Rick Derringer.

So this is a pure playback business.

Oh God! Where have all the longhaired, braless, pelvisgyrating, spontaneous go-go-dancing, gorgeous blonds gone?

[domnal]

@voxsupreme Well lets work it out from this. That dancer looks about 21 in the video. and it was 1965 so she would be 68 by now , even If she was 18 she would be 65 .- That's were she went .

However, she didn't seem particularly spontaneous ;she looked like a professional GO-GO dancer dressed in street clothes .That hip-shake is a difficult move for the untrained. !! Try it yourself if you don't believe me !!

@domnal This was a re-do of the original. The original one was in 1965. This was in 1972 if I remember correctly. You could tell by the way they're dressed here as opposed to how they were all in dark suits back in the early to mid 60's. And yeah the girl looks about 21, but she'd be about 60-62 not 68. Nonetheless, she's pretty old by now.

[domnal]

@MrSomename89 The date that flashes up is 1965 on this Video so I was just working from that !! You are quite right about the look I had my hair about that length in 1972 - I was 21 . So I must be pretty old by now too !! But Ricky D is about 64 now.

O.K. working from 1972 Rick would have been 24 and the dancer looked older than him but we will never know without a birth certificate as young women have a nasty habit of not being as old as they look. !!

@MrSomename89 Her boobs are probably down to her knees by now.

You almost never get a good xylophone solo these days :)

[voxsupreme]

@unitsec I´m sorry to be a besserwisser Messerschmidt - but it´s actually a vibraphone.

@Stevesk0011 Those old transistor radios you couldn't hear a thing. !!

[lynsie22]

love the sixties music,

[1971SuperLead]

Ah, the powerful ability a young woman can have to drive men insane with desire. Just an accident? I don't think so.

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

great song and that girl wouldn't look out of place in todays music vids.....

[domnal]

@GibbyGibbyGibb Yes she would - Too many clothes !!

[ardiril]

This version is from Derringer's solo album, Spring Fever.

[bunzy11]

i've never heard this version, is there an mp3 of it?

[DRUMTOY2002]

Damn, That chick gave me a "chubby" here @ work!!!

[rwongusa]

@nerdflanders8710

Sounds different because of the added xylaphone

[domnal]

@rwongusa Don't worry about your spelling as it's a Vibraphone the tubes underneath the keys give that a way also a Xylophone is made of wood !!

[therotiv4]

great!

[converse91970]

Good post, remember watching this on VH1 Classic some years ago. I was born the year they brought this remixed version out!

[lovlyladyhere]
