Dickie was my father and I would like to honor his memory by asking that you look up and get informed on his story before posting random comments.
He would have been 69 tomorrow and I'm thinking of him today and watching and listening to his music in tribute. I never got to meet him. He died when I was a baby.
A great performer, and an electrifying act to watch. Check out the clip from Oh Boy 1959 when he sings Slippin and Slidin. He was only 17 at the time, but the authority and presence he displays are something very special indeed. Sadly missed.
What odd people some of you are - arguing over his death. He had problems, clearly there were drug and alcohol issues otherwise he wouldn't have died. However he had the best voice of any of the early British rockers and I'm grateful to those who post his songs. Let's remember him that way.
No. I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years. I'm not saying Dickie didn't have big problems, I'm questioning your knowledge of lobotomies.
@roystonowl1 i suppose you got your info from dickie himslef did you. or did you read it in the sun, or some kind of 5th hand info in a dickie pride fan club magazine, it makes me laugh that people cannot accept facts, and cant verify there own views only shoot down other peoples.
Dickie pride died as a has been singer, if he had been any good he would have sold records he didnt, he fought with people, he ended up in a mental hospital
