Dave Clark Five singer Mike Smith dies of pneumonia

LONDON (AP) -- Dave Clark Five lead singer Mike Smith died of pneumonia Thursday, less than two weeks before the band is to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was 64.

Mike Smith died less than two weeks before his band is to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

He was admitted to the intensive care unit Wednesday morning with a chest infection, a complication from a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed below the ribcage with limited use of his upper body. Lewis said he was injured when he fell from a fence at his home in Spain in September 2003.

Smith had been in the hospital since the accident, and was just released last December when he moved into a specially prepared home near the hospital with his wife.

"These last five years were extremely difficult for Mike. I am incredibly saddened to lose him, his energy and his humor, but I am comforted by the fact that he had the chance to spend his final months and days at home with his loving wife Charlie," Lewis said.

Smith wrote songs as well as singing and playing keyboards for the Dave Clark Five, one of many British rock acts whose music swept across the United States in the 1960s during the so-called British Invasion.

The Beatles are the best remembered, of course, but at the time the Dave Clark Five posed the strongest threat, commercially and critically, to their pre-eminence.

The Dave Clark Five claimed a string of U.S. hits, including "Because," "Glad All Over," and "I Like it Like That." By 1966, the band had made 12 appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show," then a record for any British group.

The group's antics were captured in John Boorman's 1965 documentary "Catch Us If You Can," which followed Smith and his band mates through the English city of Bristol.

While the group -- which broke up in 1970 -- was named after him, Dave Clark himself was the drummer.

The group is going to be inducted in the rock hall on March 10, a ceremony Lewis said Smith was trying to attend.

"We're very unhappy about the whole situation -- it's sad," Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President Joel Peresman said.

He said the ceremony would go ahead as planned, but that there would be "a little extra significance this year."

Said Lewis: "He was extremely excited and honored to have been inducted ... and I am glad that he will be remembered as a hall of famer, because he was in so many ways."

Smith is survived by his wife, Arlene (nicknamed Charlie).

Привет!

Один из лучших голосов рока 60х, мощный, своеобразный. Останется с нами и это очень хорошо.

блин, ужасно...

Ах ты, жалость какая... Что у них там за врачи, с обыкновенным воспалением лёгких справиться не могут! Золотая рота какая-то! Двадцать первый век на дворе, стыдобища! Гнать таких эскулапов в три шеи!

>Как то давно LL ставил мне вещь DC5, с которой
>была клонирована наша песня 80-х "Богатырская
>наша сила" (Стас Намин по моему). Что это за песня?

Только сейчас заметил этот вопрос.Поскольку ответ был дан SHA-NA-NA HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE , хочется сказать, что песня эта (Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye)стала знаменитым хитом в конце 1969 в исполнениии группы Steam,мгновенно превратившись в стадионный гимн. А вот версию Dave Clark Five кажется мало кто заметил.

В точности так, papan. Шананисты - это бледная копия, а вот Steam работали как надо. Кстати говоря, великий кллич всех времён и народов "Ах-мать-вашу-так-матерь-вашу-СПАРТАК!!!" - это Hold Tight Дейва Ди и его компании с длинючим именем Dave Sww, Dozy, Beaky, Nick & Tich...

Майк Смит больше всех нравился мне в DCF. Он считался красавчиком в группе, и пел, конечно, очень здорово.

>"Ах-мать-вашу-так-матерь-вашу-СПАРТАК!!!" - это
>Hold Tight

Посмотри The Ventures Live: Wipe Out (не знаю правда ,какой это год)примерно с 3:30.Знакомый мотив?:-)


Сдаётся мне,что этот ритмический рисунок появился сильно раньше известных популяризаторов.Продолжим раскопки?:-)

Всем сорри за оффтоп.И за неуместный смайлик.Но убрать уже не могу.

Группа безусловно заслуженная,по вражьим голосам постоянно упоминавшаяся.Но вот странное дело:не могу вспомнить ни одной их песни,которая бы хоть немного тогда (в 60-е) зацепила.

Лет 20 или 25 тому назад мне попались два первых (US&UK) The Animals,
помню хорошо что показались мне полной ерундой.А вот теперь одна из моих любимых групп.Вот такая история.
