FREDDIE AND THE DREAMERS - You were made for me

[supermarx1]

A happy song from a happy time in our life, it's a real toe tapper..!!!

[Tonithenightowl]

We called this "happy music" no big statement, just about love, you know that thing we had before we were married 30 plus years lol j/k it's deeper now and just a matter of who dies first :o)

[Highland804]

Great voice, silly dancing.

[ftsjr]

One thing about Freddie; whenever he performed, he looked like he was enjoying himself. RIP, Freddie.

[Metallicat8888]

It's funny watching the video with no sound.

[PuggyBank]

This video is quite entertaining on acid.

[TheLuigi69]

hahahaha go freddie lol

[Zippertheslipper]

A little light in his loafers I must say.

[cgaw14]

@salemst . I get really nostalgic about this stuff. I'm 56 this year and I absolutely hate being this age. I want to be 11 again , when Ferry across the Mersey was released. I want to do ait all again. The days were free and innocent, seemed to last longer and were just happier. I loved the sixies and even the 70's. Sigh.

[ChampagneCraig]

I dig this guy's crazy vibe! Freddie cracks me up! I like the music a lot, too, but, Freddie's physical comedy cracks me up ! He's just flat FUNNY !

[ChampagneCraig]

No doubt. Freddie Garrity was the innovative personality that inspired DEVO!

[col2269wf]

mad as a box of spanners!!

[SuperDolcheVita]

Pffft! What a retard. This one of those guys that somehow made it through during the British invasion. He got found out pretty quick though. His novelty lasted about 6 months.

[26highstreet]

@SuperDolcheVita His novelty lasted 3 years and included about 10 top 20 hits 3 of them getting close no number 1 in the uk

[SuperDolcheVita]

@26highstreet Not true. Freddie's one-trick-pony lasted less than 6 months. His only two "hits" were this and one other (so forgettable). Keep in mind that his fans averaged in age between 12 and 14 years old. He had a bit of resurgence during the 1980s when nostalgia brought out the dinosaurs from that particular era. I'm only too glad this will not be happening again. I understand that this colossal fake is DEAD.

[26highstreet]

@SuperDolcheVita are you american? of your british then you would know that his major chart singles were.

If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody no3 in 1963

I'm Telling You Now no 2 in 1963

this song here "You Were Made For Me" no3 in 1963

Over You no14 in 1964

I Love You Baby no16 in 1964

i understand no5 in 1964/65

and a couple more minor hits

[SuperDolcheVita]

@26highstreet Look, no disrespect...but why are we arguing about this mediocrity? My god, you take the Beatles and the enormous impact they had on music, fashion and culture...then, there's this clown. Why on earth bother to defend the likes of this kind of "talent'? I came here to this video in much the same way I would go to see a car collision video. I can't believe anybody would take this man seriously. Are you nostalgic or, perhaps...are you a family member?

[flamesounds]

@SuperDolcheVita The Beatles probably dug Freddie. You would have had to live through this era of the 60s to understand. Freddie and the Dreamers were as much a part of the soundtrack as anyone. It was about something you really can't explain to someone that wasn't there to experience it in realtime. All I know, the world is a much sadder, meaner, shittier place and this will probably never happen again.

[sneezyize]

@26highstreet You and SuperDolcheVita need to learn you are arguing two different points, it's the same as other posters here on youtube saying some of those live performance videos on the U.S.' CBS-TV's "The Ed Sullivan Show" Freddie & the Dreamers' "I'm Telling You Now" took place in 1963, not 1965, and that tune hit number one on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts in 1963, not 1965 as in reality.

[sneezyize]

@sneezyize The different points are this, what you are posting 26highstreet happened on the British charts, not the U.S. charts (and most of the world). Granted, in Britian Freddie & the Dreamers were around for a good chunk of two years, in popularity, but here in the states and in most of the rest of the world their popularity only last for mainly the year 1965.

[26highstreet]

@sneezyize Yea ok i get your point, over here in the uk we have this little known singer called sir cliff richard, who in america had 4 or 5 hits over the years..

but here in the uk he has had more hits then anyone in the charts including the beatles and elvis presley and also been in 6 or 7 films and won just about every award you can think of..

But anyway i understand your point, we use to get us songs enter our charts 2 years or so after they had been hits in the usa and vice versa

[sneezyize]

@SuperDolcheVita Again, I'll post the same to you SuperDolcheVita as I did to 26highstreet, although without all of the explanation. What 26highstreet has posted is correct, as far as the popularity of Freddie & the Dreamers in Britian -- which is true. What you are posting and therefore an argument of two different points on that matter, which is quite annoying (excuse me), happened to Freddie & the Dreamers in the U.S.

[TheJules2011]

im 40 now so this was before my time but this knocks the shit out of anything that comes out today

[martinreynolds1]

Absolutely brilliant!

[zoooooooooog]

Not as batshit as the Blue Peter version, but still pretty out there.

[carolinewong1]

nothing like freddie and the dreamers really great songs like only freddie can playfully sing

[rockandroll63]

Good-looking band mind.

[finette4444]

i so remember doing all the actions when I was young! Maybe I can still do them now!!!!

[bearblock]

DEVO fans, pay your respects here

[Hunnytre]

I grew up watching Feddie on the old black & white telly lol trying to dance just like him. I loved him soooo much :D

[rarebutgreat]

Mad a box of frogs but absolutely brilliant.We will never see the likes of Freddie again, he is a one off

[nuttytart01]

I love this band soo much. (: anyone who will dance like that on tv deserves my love (:

[FlipG59]

I went to see Freddie and the dreamers in a show at Skegness in the early 80's He was funny an entertainer then as he was all those years ago. The younger people who weren't around in the sixties are too ready to criticise, They don't understand that F & D were a comedy group who had some major hits They exaggerated the dances associated with groups such as The Shadows. Freddy was not gay, he was just clowning around making people laugh. He was a great entertainer sadly missed.

[stafylides]

I agree with you totally!

[burnley5960]

@FlipG59 Exactly he made people happy RIP

[sixtiesforever1966]

what was his father Benny Hill?

[Smee2000]

You just couldn't get away with this gay shit today, you'd get capped.

[modspell]

That band must have soaking wet by the end of a show... suits and ties, doing aerobics.

[DrusillaC]

Love it!

[HITTHESKINS]

a truly wonderful and unigue band.

FREDDIE was a a brilliant showman and a had a great voice.

[puzleman1]

why is if something is not to ones liking is gay..michael jackson beyonce-jonas brothers- 50 cent-90% of rappers are gay

[GraceUnderPressure1]

@puzleman1 I'd say 90% of these individuals were born after 1990 and its the new word for "sad", previous to that was likely "square" and so on. It's simply because they're far too immature to give constructive criticism so they just become aggressive towards the subject and mock it. I kind of pity them for mocking this type of music :-/ music from this decade was and is the best in my opinion, sadly I was born in the 80's and never got to experience it all fresh first-hand!

[emaitchcee]

I grew up with this album. Loved it. Never saw them dance before. Odd, but fun. Having been a teen punk, I can appreciate the mildly wry anarchism of doing such a dance.

[LollieSmith]

what a weirdo - looks anorexic too

[ED7796]

I dont think so

[HannahWithAVoice]

was he gay?

[irvingklaw57]

His flamboyance was more immaturity than homosexuality.

[brabon1]

immaturity? not even

he was a great showman

[ED7796]

Freddie was no doubt one of the best singers of the 60s he was very underrated showmen/singers

[AndyDEFILLIPPO]

Freddie was a class guy and under rated singer, the 60's had the best music.

RIP Freddie. And if not mistaken Bernie the drummer is not longer with us as well.

[sixtiefan]

These guys made people laugh with their music & performance! Thank You Freddie & The Dreamers!

R.I.P Freddie

[sadrsch16]

We need more singers like Freddie these days. He was a unique singer and good showman.

[ALUNPATCH]

as a kid this was always my record

[telecaster1963]

[MrChubbers]

[patrickwithiforce]

[elvisx]
