Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - "Last Night In Soho"

In which five likely lads from Salisbury come over all psychedelic. Maybe there was something in the Wiltshire water supply in the summer of 1968? Their final top 10 hit in the UK. Dave went solo in 1970, while the rest carried on as DBMT, but they thankfully reformed and were still one of the most entertaining live acts around, before Dave's untimely death at the beginning of 2009. RIP, Dave - you'll be much missed :-(

What a great 60s song, R.I.P. Dave.

[Povampiren]

one of the best songs in the sixties.

[Baggieboy291163]

Need to clarify what the song's about. He's NOT a rent boy! He is an ex-criminal who has left his crooked life behind him and has a relationship. Unfortunately his old "crew" demand he does another job for them - "if he doesn't want aggravation" - i.e. threatening his woman. He gets caught - goes to jail, and tells his woman that she mustn't wait for him. OK?

This is a terrific track, and the band should be celebrated more when people do retrospectives of the 1960s or oldies radio shows.

My favourite pop song of the sixties. I'm nearing 57 , and still remember hearing it in 1968 . RIP Dave .

Thanks WizardODoom. I have added this to my 60's playlist. I've been searching for this for years.

@MissMolly5293 The ridiculous tongue-in-cheek seven-dwarves name (disastrous in the US) was apparently a deliberate attempt to go against the 'collective' grain current in the 60s and to emphasize that a good band is a successful collaboration of individuals.

[VulpeLunatica]

Yeah this song is the bee's knees! And those 7 dislikes can go jump in the Thames! ^..^ r.i.p. and blessed be to Dave Dee.

[MissMolly5293]

awesome band...terrible name



[marmot1957]

@armoredcar3 Agree totally :)

I played this single so many times I'm surprised the grooves didn't wear through to the other side. Loved Dave Dee. RIP xx

[AlfredWhy]

This was one of the very first singles I had. Oh I liked this. A great song.
