Great! It's always fun trying to guess the celebrities of yesteryear in your collages Ron. How could we forget Freddie Garrity! He and the Dreamers were surprise hit makers back in the day - all that leaping about! I think he used a be a milkman - probably still is! that baldie bloke is Donald Pleasance - a great actor who ended up in some dodgy films! No idea who the group is>? The King Brothers?
Thanks Michael. Used to love Freddie's energy, slightly off his rocker in his NHS specs. He could have leapt over the fence in The Great Escape no problem if he'd been in it. The vocal group are three of The Dallas Boys.
Wow...Thanks for the memories...everyone I knew 'DID THE FREDDIE"...what a great song and a great homage collage to Mr. Garrity. I have details of his final days:
With his health in decline, Garrity settled in a bungalow called "Dreamers End" in Moreton Avenue, in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
He was married three times and had one daughter from his first marriage, and three children from his second marriage. He died at Bangor in North Wales, at the age of 69, after being taken ill while on holiday.
Garrity was cremated at the Carmountside Crematorium in Abbey Hulton, Stoke-on-Trent, where his ashes are interred.

ReplyDeleteA yes, the Dallas Boys ! They do ring a bell- sort of.
