The Dave Clark Five - The Red Balloon (1968)

[@GarryH1963]

The writer of this song has sadly passed away today. His name was Raymond Froggatt. He also wrote songs for Cliff Richard, among others. R.I.P. Raymond

Sad for sure.

[@alanoneill3065]

Apparently this song became a burden to him in later years

I love Dave's voice. Very British and very melodic. Though I love to hear Mike Smith sing and belt out a song, I truly enjoyed sitting here listening to Dave's wonderful voice. ❤

[@pambh6572]

I agree!

[@NorbertKegel-wz8kk]

Tolle Musik, kann man immer wieder hören. 😊

One of the best bands ever, just love them!!! Anita Jackson, SA

I've never seen this video before so thank you for posting. Despite it being a big hit for them in the UK (#7) I suspect Dave Clark isn't too fond of it as he's not included it on either of their two most recent compilation albums (and they don't release many!). I don't care if he likes it or not, I do!

[@donnachandler171]

I also enjoyed Denis playing the sousaphone! He was an accomplished musician.

Raymond Froggett! God bless him! A great legacy.

[@Dave1502]

Dave looked like he was enjoying banging those drums hahah

[@Dave1502]

Blimey, that's a big horn!

[@robertpeckover2139]

brill record needs adding to an album

[@TamasSzabo-ql6wf]

The solosinger of D C Five is Dave Clark, the drummer.

[@michaelwood875]

drug-free music still available thru 1970...

[@Dave1502]

Ooowww!

[@Malda27_]

Is this the only song Dave sings?

[@dagnabbit6187]

Well some say DC5 called it a day too soon . I disagree . They were basically for the 60s even though they went as far as 71 . I’d like the fact that Dave kept them from getting dark , druggy , or dirty . Well at least image wise

[@dougmcleod3812]

Never heard this song before. Obviously did not rate high in the charts.Not a favourite.

[@michaelwood875]

move over Sgt Peppers...
