Just heard Mike Smith from Dave Clark 5 has died.

Mike had a bad fall awhile back and never really recovered, he died from pneumonia.

RIP Mike

I was very shocked and sorry to hear this, as he was the lead singer of The Dave Clark Five, I remember him well.

He was 64 yrs of age and died of pneumonia,following on from a bad fall he had five years ago, which left him paralysed from the waist up.

One of the saddest parts of this, was that The Dave Clark Five were due to be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame on March 10th.

His wife said, that they were "confident that he'd gone to Heaven"....

Really sorry to hear about this! I seem to recall that there was a bit of controversy surrounding their induction into the RRHOF. I can't remember offhand what it was, but it had to do with Grandmaster Flash filling the fifth place to make way for rap. The details escape me at the moment.

Well, I'm 'sad all over'.

But it would be a fun trip to visit Cleveland on the 10th.

Your vid isn't showing Linda..

So lets try this one.. Mike Smith is the lead singer.

The very good looking one is Dave Clark.

It's a neat clip, a news reel with a variety of segments.

Thanks for that Linda... Really enjoyed it..especially the Cockerel at the start..

I thought Glad All Over and Bits and Pieces were far too similar.

This was one of my faves.

Can you believe how clean cut they were?
