I didn't expect to get a responce from yourself. I'd never heard of you guys before,(I'm not from the states) just come across the Lighting Strikes video on "youtube" and thought it was Lou Christie at first. The Shindig version is very good. It is actually Dickanddeedee singing?(you're laughing nearly all the way through) My mother's friend worked on Ready Steady Go (you guys appeared on the show) next time I see her I'll ask her if she remembers anything. She was the one that handed out the money to the performers! Oh by the way I'm from Edinburgh in Scotland. I'll look out for your book and if I can't get it over this side of the Atlantic I'll be in touch. All the best Roger Thanks for answering my email. I didn’t expect to get a responce from yourself.

This video was the last Shindig show ever taped. Shindig was a national television show on ABC that aired from September, 1964 to January, 1966. Every major rock performer was on the show at one time or another. Dick and I did not make the original recording of Lightening Strikes (It was recorded by our good friend, Lou Christi), but, as semi-regulars on the show, we were often told to sing songs by other artists as well. The video is cut off because the song ended there and they went to commercial directly afterward. There are copies of Shindig floating around on the internet. To see other Shindig shows Dick and I performed in please visit the Dick and Dee Dee site (www.dickanddeedee.com). Best Wishes, Dee Dee Phelps Hi Roger:

I am the oldest daughter of Jean King. So thanks for giving them the credit they deserve. God knows they didn't receive it back in the 60's or 70's and by 1983, my mom was gone. I know that my mother did a lot of things that I don't even know about. I was familiar with Shindig (even though I was just born when they were performers on the show) and of course all the things they did during the 70's and early 80's. I guess I'll try to find tapes/recordings on the internet. Debbie Johnson-Hatfield Seattle, WA On occasion, I search the internet to see who has said what about The Blossoms.

Your mother was a wonderful talent. If you go on YouTube and search for The Blossoms you might find more footage as well as searching for the girls backing up the other performers. As you probably know, the Blossoms were the regular girls back up group for all the acts on Shindig so they should be in many shots. I'm sorry to hear your mom is gone, but she left a wonderful legacy behind, especially through her children. Best Wishes, Dee Dee Phelps Debbie: Thanks for leaving your comment on the blog.

She is great. A few years ago Spector issued a 4 CD pack of songs from Spector Records with a book showing the various groups and individuals like Gene Pitney who wrote He's a Rebel. Of course, the Cystals are on it. Plus even Sonny Bono and Cher. I love this stuff and have all the Doo Wop albums and the DVDs from the Public Broadcast featuring some real old times. Bought it all. Glad to see your involvement in recreating the music from our era. I will be purchasing your book via your web today. Best regards, Fred Oliveri Morgan Hill, CA Hello Dee Dee,
