:'(He was the male half of Dick and Deedee;their biggest hit was "The Mountain's High'.He fell off a roof and died saturday.
Subject: Re: Dick St.John died
I liked Mountain High and other Dick and DeeDee songs, was a small kid when they were popular, nice harmonies, young clean cut teens. Sorry he died, were he and DeeDee still togehter, were they ever a couple?

Hey, Marian... you need to edit your sig line a bit. The screen is too wide with all that stuff down there.
Subject: Re: Dick St.John died
Although I never heard of them, a sad loss. Especially the way he died. :'(

Marian, can you please trim down your sig line a little bit. It's way too long and it makes the screen extra wide!

Subject: Re: Dick St.John died
That's extremely sad news, Marian...thanks for letting us know...
Dick teamed up with DeeDee (who was Mary Sperling) at Santa Monica College at the start of the 60's. I don't think they were ever a 'couple', so to speak - just a pair of budding songwriters demo-ing their songs...
One of these 'demos', 'The Mountain's High', was originally issued as a B-side, but became a monster hit in San Francisco when DJ's flipped it. At this point, Liberty records purchased the master and broke it nationally - it was only at Liberty's insistence that the duo became known as Dick & DeeDee...
It was also a minor-ish hit here...do try and get a copy if you can, it's a classic from the 'innocent age'...
Subject: Re: Dick St.John died
was that rock OR doowop?
Howard
Subject: Re: Dick St.John died
Not quite sure what it'd fall under, Howard (doo-wop it certainly ain't!)...sort-of light and breezy pop with some slightly odd (but very nice) harmonising...(if that helps!)
Subject: Re: Dick St.John died
;)Maybe he can hear a sample on the computer to see if he remembers it.Cheers!
