The Bermudas "Donnie"

[@rebeccapage9133]

I'm in the middle, the youngest! what a blast from the past!

[@FlyingAboveTheRest]

Love to hear the history behind this song. This was my favorite song! The mix was incredible-who wrote & arranged this masterpiece?

[@bicpapermate]

You were 12? You look awfully mature for a pre-teen.

[@dariowiter3078]

rebecca page Cool! 😁

[@dadetim]

pure awesomeness

[@michaelreed4744]

Hello. Did you perform for the Flintstones cartoon series?

[@AnthonyReichardt]

R.I.P. JOANNA PAGE CLARK June 4, 1949 - April 8, 2017

[@LouiseTurmenne]

WOW, does this take me down memory lane. I was 13 years old and had a puppy love back then and his name just happened to be DONNIE, so this song and it's haunting music really made an impact on me. 🎶❤️🎶

[@anitasweeta758]

Sweet memories I'm sure...thanks for the vide. Dig those beehives....real bee's hidden in there too!! LOL

[@sahvannaclark6868]

Hi I can't speak for all of them But JoAnna is My Grandma and she just turned 64 yesterday and doing Great. She is still as beautiful as ever. Also If you would like to speak to her she is on facebook listed as Joanna Clark.

[@donalddixon6541]

My older cousin Judy bought this and sang along with the record to me.....embarrassed the crap outta me, but I loved the attention too. That was 56 years ago, I really miss her.....

[@sooz9433]

O ... Joanna's slip is showin!! Wow do I remember these days! Just adorable. Thank you for sharing this. ❤

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Becky, the middle one, sang as Pebbles in the Flintstones. She did the singing voice for LET THE SUN SHINE IN. Her mother Ricky, sang in the song also doing Bamm-Bamm's part.

[@J3ni4]

My sweet cousins! R.I.P. Joanna!

As noted above, on this day in 1964 {May 2nd} the Bermudas performed "Donnie" on the ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time "Donnie" was at position #86 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, four weeks later it would peak at #62 {for 1 week} and it spent ten weeks on the Top 100... "Donnie" was the trio's only Top 100 record...

[@BobSchusterMusiccom]

They looked much older from a distance.

[@IDLERACER]

This record made it to #62 nationally. At this time (May of 1964), the top five spots of Billboard's hot 100 were all occupied by The Beatles. As I watch this, I can't help but think to myself that Dick Clark must be fully aware (or at least have an inkling) of the fact that this whole style of writing, production and presentation was on it's very last legs. If this record had been released a year earlier, it would've been considered hip, if not exactly cutting edge. If it had been released only a few months later, it would have instantly disappeared without even bubbling under.

[@dariowiter3078]

Very true. The Beatles revolution(I wasn't alive when that happened) totally destroyed the '50s/early '60s r&r by emphasizing beat, different note structure, and altered rhythms that '50s-'60s rock had, but was primative to say the least. Plus, the Beatles emphasized originality over all which the rock scene hadn't had since the appearance of Elvis Presley in '56. And, writing their own material certainly helped them as well. 😁

[@dadetim]

heard this this past weekend on a countdown by don tandler onpop gold radio....first time ever hearing this and i love it

[@Valizan]

Wow! 12, 14 and 15! They look so much more grown up! Love 'em!

[@SteveCarras]

They sure do look grown up1

[@512BoxerBoy]

Great song and very talented young ladies. The hair styles of the day... well... the hairstyle on the right reminds me of the movie: "MARS ATTACKS"

[@marciablay3005]

So thrilled to find hear this song and see the Bermudas. When I was 16, the love of my life was “Donni” and I was thrilled to hear this on the radio in 1964. Am happily married for 47 years to someone completely different, but was so happy to see my Donni some years ago. I searched in vain for years to hear this song again, what beautiful voices. THANK YOU!!

[@sonyawhisenant6264]

These are my nieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThePoobears]

***** do they still sing together

[@desertfox3742]

Dreamy song - went out & got the record i liked it so much. The flip side is just as good. A +

[@echaczyk]

charted 6/13/64 on Billboard. #62

[@johnr.e.789]

Sirens calling me back again and again

[@wesleycook7687]

Loved this ❤️❤️ song. It's eerie overtones. Found it in an oldies Book in the 90s. Their lip syncing is a little off but who cares. It's a nice song .

[@TomElvisSmith]

A girl group I"ve never heard before, that's a rarity. For some reason, whenever I'd seen the name "The Bermudas" in the past, I never paid much attention because I thought they were likely an instrumental surf group or some such, it never occured to me that this could be the name of a girl group. This was a really cute interview! The song had a nice quality too, mysterious in tone.

[@SteveCarras]

Rebecca and her mpther Ricky sang on thwe Flintstones (see above)

[@savorathon]

The giant beehive dos make them look older, but when they go closeup they look younger

[@simondavies4]

I believe Joanna was also in Joanne and the Triangles.

[@tjnaran8353]

that is some amazing hair!

[@nikatnyte]

This was such an underrated record. I loved the flip side too ("Chu Sen Ling") although it is myopically xenophobic.

[@bearsinboxes]

i miss your posts❤️

[@oceanbound222]

love it

[@masterlool8196]

RIP 2020

[@ANISTAZImetal-po4rz]

Beautiful

[@samuelharang5742]

Would you possibly have an April 19th 1963 clip of Johnny Cymbal on American Bandstand singing Mr Bass Man.

[@djdavemick]

They were introduced as Becky, Joanna, and Sheila. However the Whitburn reference book lists the mother Rickie (Page), not Sheila as the 3rd member. Just some info.

[@jimmyg4836]

The one in the middle I believe is Pebbles Flintstone!!

[@BrooklynJoe]

I knew it! I picked you out as the youngest!! Well, great memories for you I'm sure!

[@MrJoeybabe25]

What ever happened to them?

[@shirleydennis5200]

This is Becky, in the middle, what a blast from the past.

[@edalhouse645]

I don't remember this song or this group. Does anyone else? Cheers!

[@LouiseTurmenne]

@edalhouse645 How old are you? If I remember, this song reach #62 on the Billboard. I loved it.

[@willdrucker4291]

rebecca you're only 12 here? My eyes! lol

[@DomFalance]

Why is AB outside? Didn't know they did road shows.

[@sonyawhisenant6264]

No........they all live separate lives..........

[@wagsouza3459]

3 STRANGE GIRLS................

[@briwolfe1]

I've wondered why they were outside?

[@mrob75]

How cool is that, Becky! Do you remember where you are filming during this shoot? That bee hive and make up made you look so mature for your age! :--)

[@pls99271]

song sounds like "LEAH" by Roy Orbison.

[@soulguy10306]

No way are they those ages!

[@klaregetty2925]

[@davidbarchus328]
