You're absolutely right Jim. Because both shows were filmed on the beach, I mixed them up. Thanks.

Rob- Billy J. Kramer, as well as other bands such as Gerry and the Pacemakers, were all under contract with Brian Epstein. So the Beatles and the Dakotas were pretty close. Lennon and McCartney wrote so many songs that many of them they considered throwaways. And they were happy to share them with friends.

How about Freddie & The Dreamers??? :)

Freddie and the Dreamers had a few good hits but they were mostly a novelty band. They are probably best known for the dance The Freddie.

I actually like the songs "You Were Made For Me" and "I'm Telling You Now".

Freddie Garrity was one of the great showman of his era and invented the dance "THe Freddie". As Barry points out he is well known for this. He is even better known in my opinion for the #1 smash I'm Telling You Now. Another great song of Freddie and the Dreamers was You Were Made For Me.

I have the Freddie and the Dreamers 66-card set put out by Donruss in 1965. One I have not had graded.

Sadly Freddie passed away in 2006.
