"Our Summer Romance"

music:Dean Reed;lyrics:Dean Reed

Although the summer's gone
I'll try to carry on
although you won't be with me
and when school is through
I'll still be loving you
for nine months can't be so long

I'll cherish every vow
forever and for now
and feel your lips meet mine

And when the nights grow cold
in dreams it's you I'll hold
and dream of that wonderful day
when I'll hold you again
and dream of heaven then
and think, that time was not so long

I love no one but you
my love belongs to you
someday I hope to marry you

Its 1970 and this guy is singing and acting like the early 1960's. No wonder he never made it in the US. I saw him on 60 Minutes years ago. The impression I got was that he wanted to be rich and famous so badly that if that meant turning his back on his country, so be it. Sad.

[Straccio]

I don't think money ever played a significant role for him - how rich could a person be in the Soviet Block?Stardom was perhaps his dream,but I think this goes for most artists.

[Straccio]

In mu opinion he had mistaken but frank political convictions which he defended in 60 Minutes.And the fact that he criticized the 'state' USA does not mean he ceased to love the 'motherland' USA.

[greendark]

He was unpopular in US because he lived in USSR most of the time. It was not exactly the dumb-head capitalist model that now cry to the government to give them billions of dollar just to don't get unemployment.

[Straccio]

Actually he lived in East Germany from 1972 till his death in 1986.He made regular visits to the Soviet Union but he never lived there.

[Jolar70]

Is he doing an older song? This seems pretty '50's and quaint for 1970.

[Straccio]

Dean Reed's song "Our Summer Romance" was first released by "Capitol Records" in 1959 in the USA and became a hit in South America,especially in Chile where Dean Reed gave many concerts in the 1960s.This video is an extract from a 1970 TV programme made in the Soviet Union.Since the song was one of his famous ones and was still unfamiliar for the Russians,Dean Reed sang it in the programme."Our Summer Romance" is actually the song which made him famous and is still considered one of his best.

we loved Dean in Soviet Union.

He was a good brave man, good singer and actor.

[ferdinando1945]

many thx for posting

come on friends !! let's separate the artist from the person, as an artist he was great , superb hits,,,as a person greater ... no for the political position but for the human values.. he criticized his own country for many crimes they committed all over the world, crimes that were completely unknown in the very US at that time. but let´s go to the songs... unequalable hits and wonderful memories.. I remember parties and malones in my country Chile

beautiful beautiful hair.

@vladmanov His, is an interesting story. I hope they do make a movie about him someday.

[vladmanov]

@wictor1999 Хорошим певцом его может назвать только человек без музыкального слуха. А музыканты слушают настоящих певцов - Элвиса Тома Джонса Стиви Уандера  Джо Коккера Рэя Чарльза.

[vladmanov]

@greendark He was unpopular in the US because he couldn't sing. And he's got no voice and no good pronunciation.

[vladmanov]

@hemming57 He just cant sing.

Dean Reed RIP

[hemming57]

@TheMoskwitsch There was some talk a few years ago about making a movie about Dean's life. Haven't heard anything further. I think it would be an interesting story.

[TheMoskwitsch]

@hemming57 he did this because the song is from 1959
