That's more complete than the one I was going to post. Sounds like he had a hard time the last few years. Shame he couldn't make it to the R&R Hall of Fame induction.

RIP

The slap-back echo on that vocal track was pretty amazing.

Yes, and the drums sounded like the Apocalypse.

Nice to see he had a successful career in the industry after the demise of DC5.

I liked them for while as a kid. A real kid, I mean.

I remember when they were on tv, I'd always wonder why Dave Clark stood up when playing drums. I don't even know how I'd go about trying to do that. Might have all been lip synching and air instruments. If not, I can't imagine how or even why a drummer would be standing on his feet.

Maybe he was a frustrated timbalero.

I'm now imagining Tito Puente with the Dave Clark Five...
