[allegroboy0]

A cracking good song.I.ve never heard this one before and now I'm driving my workmates insane with it. Well done for posting this!!!!!!

[geovettes]

i just love these guys. i've been playing this song on repeat in my car all week.

[MrMjohnson46]

freddie came from manchester but lived at the end in trentham stoke on trent RIP freddie

[LivingMindfully1975]

I want to go back to the 1960s!!

[207nkf]

Love the song, love the set, love the dancing in the background, Just out of highschool when this was out and it Was a great time for music!!!

[shatzi]

I met Freddie in a Sheffield hospital not long before he died. He cracked me up with naughty jokes. When I'm in Manchester I stay with Dreamer Derek (the blonde with dark shades) and he's super nice. Very silly too. Pete Birrell, the bassist in glasses, was a LOT of fun. I played bingo with him and Derek and others in Manchester one night and we really got silly. Bernie the drummer died in 2003. Their 60s fan club pres gave me a stuffed bear they found in his house.

[urchin32]

he made me happy all through my childhood.....just fun music......magic .RIP freddy.

[pete61499]

The Greatest time of all ( The 1960s ) What a class group Freddy and the dreamers were. I am proud to have been part of ot all.

[ChampagneCraig]

Check out the hot chicks doing "The Freddie" !! LOL !!! Totally awesome !!

[bcfbasil]

The shot at about from 31 to 34 seconds is showing a back view of John Lennon (Beatles) when they played Australia. Also, the girl screaming at around 1:11 is another clip from a Beatles concert. Not sure about the screaming kids at the end, but my guess would be also from a Beatles concert.

[BOZO32851]

@bcfbasil You got most of it right-But the backside of lennon was filmed during a Hard Days Night, not in Australia-

[crowley24]

This is a great song that is highly underrated and I love the camera work on the video also!

[dmullsr]

This is frrom from the Movie OUT OF SIGHT 1966 some other groups of day are in this spy spoof !!!

[moorlock2003]

This is a really beautiful song. The melody is gorgeous.

[12347771]

Is that a Bigsby on that Thunderbird Bass? Strange. Notice the intercut footage from Hard days Night. Note Lennon's Backside.........

[mignonhenne]

nice spot, i thought it wa a rickenbacker like paul but i think you're right.i'm touching my double humbucker right now.

[12347771]

@mignonhenne

You mean a 'Hofner' like Macca's (?)

[devilwoman52]

He seems like a happy go lucky fellow! And yes, a bit like Buddy Holly, but more bubbly!! How sad he is RIP!!

[MDHMAN4]

These are better then the beatles?

[juliemc76]

Were these from liverpool or manchester?

He has a look of buddy holly.

[HITTHESKINS]

this group were unigue. sold records in bucket loads .

one of the best 60s bands

[rarebutgreat]

A great song which proves that Freddie and the boys didnt need to lark about, but it does prove how good they were that they could still produce great music . I dont get the beatles clip in this scene though ????.Freddies best recording after I Will

[EwicShmee]

O__o Why are they using clips from the Beatles' concerts?

[SCE2AUX]

As Eddie Murphy said. "Sing, that is the key to it....'cos all you have to do is sing, its somethin bout singing,

that is the business, you sing, women go crazy."

[SmEllYsOcKs911]

freddie is soooo cute! i really lovee him!! thanks for posting!

[blanton1624]

Fabulous group. Great song. What a wonderful era to grow up in.

[inshreds66]

I love this song. RIP Freddy.

[inshreds66]

ooops Freddie.

[jimbo620ti]

Beautifully sung and such a fantastic showman, rip freddie

[elmerfusco]

The go go dancers were so cute.

[mignonhenne]

sexy but not slutty.fun and flirty times.

[moorlock2003]

This is a wonderful song beautifully sung. Great job Freddie!

[54spiritedwill54]

Love the Manchester accent....he's cute

[jamierourketen]

the guitarist on the right hand side is called roy and he owns a pub in tenerife called "dreamers"! he told me he was wearing a wig on this vid!

[Bertrandd06]

Merci Freddie t'es super.

Tu mets du soleil dans la vie.

new fan France.

[elmerfusco]

I bought the ultimate collection just to get this song. I first heard it on the Out of Sight soundtrack ages ago. Very romantic sweet number.

[jfab64]

This song, along with "A Little You," are, in my opinion, Freddie and the Dreamers' best recordings. "A Little You" is edgy (for them), while this is charming. I like that the clip is in color, too.

[sampson1959]

one of the great showmen.consomate entertainer and a really good singer.fun to watch and hear.

now he belongs to the ages.

[rickanne]

I saw Freddie & The Dreamers many years ago at some massive theatre in Great Yarmouth. He was one crazy Little guy with an astounding voice. As well as all the amusing tunes we love to hear try & get to listen to some of the other material on "A best of" - You'll be surprised how good this band was.

[Funkymojo]

If you look closely at 0.30 sec, there was a clip of the beatles, John was singing Twist And Shout...that segment was the most sane moment hahaha...but i do like Freddie And The Dreamers, they never took the whole stardom thingy too seriously...RIP Freddie...

[dqh678]

Also, the blonde in the audience is from a Beatles concert in Manchester in 1963-She is very British and not at this Freddie and the Dreamers concert in the States-The clip of John Lennon from the back is from the Hard Days Night film

[mignonhenne]

is it the adorable jane asher ? i think her brother was peter asher from peter and gordon.

[emeretii]

Brings back great memories

Thats not Frank Carson on guitar is it ??

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

Those dancers are nutters!

Freddie really did have a great voice. I like to think his goofy performing habits were his stamp of individuality. He seems more 'real' than most pop performers.

[MrsFreddyKrueger]

lol Freddie and the dreamers...LOL

[thutton67]

Love these girls

[chkyla]

I have searched high and low, thank you for giving me this video! I saw it years ago on and have looked ever since. I think he was handsome and adorable and had a terrific voice! He will be missed.

[BfromPA]

He had an excellent voice live.

[BfromPA]

Saw them live in Atlantic City at Steel Pier and will never forget it. Love this song and never knew this video existed. Fantastic!!!!

[DopeRhymeLover]

Freddie Ripps!

[AndyDEFILLIPPO]

Great Video, Freddie was one of the true gentleman in the entertainment business, he'll be missed by many!

[Tonicbubbler]

I think Freddy had one of the best quality voices in pop music. If he wanted to, he probably could have been a great crooner like Sinatra, Vic Damone, or Jack Jones. The guy had a great set of pipes.

[sapphiretaurus]

You said it!

[moorlock2003]

Agree. People concentrate on the silly stage act, but Freddie was really a wonderful singer; very clear and direct.

[sapphiretaurus]

I notice the footage of the screaming girls is taken directly from the Beatles concert in Manchester. Great way to cut back on costs!

[Raddrum]

Yeah, I think that these girls are from Beatles concert in Manchester in November 1963

[dburr13]

Freddy was cool...And this clip was very well staged and ahead of it's time.

[connie676]

This clip was from the movie "Out of Sight", released in 1966, and directed by Lennie Weinrib. The plot, which was marginal, involved espionage and spies, but the real highlight was Freddie and company.

[gymboy1]

Love the Manchester accent....he's kinda cute

[ukdh]

Excellent clip, Freddie had a great sounding voice, Does anyone know which movie the footage is from?

[hippiebeat]

I think it may be from a movie that was with Herman Hermits called "Hold On" but I'm not sure...Bob Eubanks was a LA dj, and Hold ON Was done in LA at this same time

[bobferretjones]

What a funny man, I would have like to have done a Hip Hop song with him!

[shatzi]

I first met Freddie in 2001 in his hospital room in Sheffield. It was non-stop jokes with that guy! He even had the nurses in stitches, or else they were just annoyed with him!

[cuddlyable3]

A failure. The glitzy packaging of Freddy as a diva ruins his spontaneous goony appeal. A sad waste.

[heckster1]

freddie at his best. i,m a life time fan . anyone want to chat do email me

[Tonicbubbler]

I've watched this video at least a couple of dozen times since I found it on youtube last week, and I never get sick of it. I think Freddy had a great voice. Do you know if Freddy was in complete control of his career and was naturally zany, or did some agent or producer put him up to having a clownish schtick? In this video he's very subdued, though.

[heckster1]

wonderful

[hippiebeat]

Freddie and the dreamers rocked,just listen to their first two USA lp's, stuff like "I'm A Hog For YOu" and "Yes I Do " ...great music

[DJLaurier]

Great Song ! Thanks EMI, for finally releasing this song on the Ultimate Collection! What a beautiful voice. Easily the best singer of the 60's British Invasion ! R.I.P. Freddie..

[daddysgirl54]

Until recently, my memories of Freddie and The Dreamers was only of "The Freddie"...that crazy dance they did!!!! But the more I watch, the more I remember what a great group they were.....

[c1956s]

Brings back great memories of the 60's... thanks for the video!
