I loved Freddie and his dreamers when I was a kid. They were such good fun and made some great records. A major part of 60s pop music. 😊

[@charlesdavies7152]

He was a character, the sixties at its best

[@thomasodetto4670]

Wow. !!! What a great tribute to Freddie Garrett. Rest In Peace. Hopefully, Freddie is doing The Freddie in Heaven.

[@glamrocker5492]

We will never get those glorious uncomplicated days of the 60s back what a wonderful time to be a child magical I know I was there wish we had those times back again.i loved Freddie garrety

[@rcobb5081]

Very sweet sentiment. I was in the 4th grade. It was special indeed.

[@dennisvernier437]

Unfortunately not everyone's lives were glorious. Maybe if you were a small child living in a protected environment, but there was much social unrest and a war in Vietnam. I'm turning 70 and don't remember the 1960's as being so wonderful for many people. My thoughts.

[@annenunney9907]

You are so right

[@sammellor605]

I met Freddy at the Place nightclub in stoke on trent where I worked as a doorman in the late eighties, he was a gentleman. I spent some time with him taking photos, and he was absolutely fantastic. R I P Freddy

[@pipelinecenter]

Brilliant singer and band who I still listen to on vinyl to this day.

[@donnabrenton453]

Funny,funny guy and a very talented singer you don't see the likes of Freddie and the Dreamers anymore❤

[@rcobb5081]

I would say a very unique voice indeed.

[@myepiphone]

Part of what made the 60s so special died with Freddie

[@f1kwa399]

I count myself so lucky to have seen you perform at Blazers in Windsor, probably in the 1980’s, thank you , I’ll not forget you.

[@alexmorris452]

I never knew Freddie was as good as this ,,,,and I grew up in the 50s and 60s ,,,,,brilliant

[@bmkbmk4469]

He had the BEST VOICE of the 60' s ......RIP

[@dilltdog1158]

My first ever gig! I'd pestered my folks to take me to see Freddie and eventually they acquiesced to my childish ranting. I was 5 years old. So, we went to see FATD and what a great show it was!! I even had my photo taken with Freddie after the show. Fast forward to 1970 and Freddie reinvented himself slightly as host of Little Big Time and the central character in the 'rock opera' Oliver In The Overworld. Anyone wanting a different side of Freddie should check out the song The Little Girl Who Refused To Cry. It's a belter! The last time I saw Freddie was in the early 1980's, Guildford if memory serves, he was still energetic, ever the showman, the years fell away from both of us that night and I was a 5 year old at his first dream gig again. Sadly I was too shy to approach Freddie to request another photo.

[@frandavies0]

Freddie Garrett and Gerry Marsden were the BEST singers in the 60s

[@maureenmcglynn3777]

NOT to be disrespectful Fran. But my cousins surname is GARRITY. I thank you tho for your nice comment. I've lived in the U.S. since 1968. I wasn't able to see Fred for a few years before he passed. There will NEVER be another Fred. Continue to rest in peace, Cuz.xxxxxx

[@glamrocker5492]

The 60s were special

[@philwhite6881]

Very underrated vocalist

[@Robutube1]

A very affectionate tribute. Cockles warmed - thanks Freddie.

[@shill6449]

In the early 60's I remember watching Freddie turning out for a celebrity football match at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool. He was very skilful and previously had trials with several 1st division football clubs, before committing himself to the music industry.

[@dmitrymedvedd]

Miss him

[@kcuhc84]

I remember watching the telly with my Granddad, watching Freddy, I must have been 5. I remember my Granddad saying "Al Jolson".

[@errol-ih4jy]

he opened up Tescos, and cut the ribbon in Darnell Sheffield, then went to the barbers across the road, he was his mate.

[@excelsior2511]

I remember seeing a girl that I went to Jr. high school with, doing the "Freddie" dance at a Dairy Queen from car radio playing "I'm Telling You Now". Nice memory, and I think that was the whole point of Freddie and the Dreamers. My deepest condolences to his family, and friends.

[@thomasodetto4670]

Great story, many thanks for sharing this info with us.

[@maureenmcglynn3777]

Thank you for your kind words. He was a great person. Continue to rest in peace Cuz. Love you.

[@thomaschacko6320]

Gerry, we’ll miss you! “How Do You Do It?” was one of the great songs of the British Invasion. Marvellous performance, but the audience looks a bit out-of-it!

[@thefoticode840]
