I was at the new years eve concert in 1998 at Caroline Bay (Timaru) and Dinah blasted onto the stage and lit it up with The Blue Beat. She started at 100MPH and never let up. Happy memories.
She is my cousin my Grandmother told me, although I don't think she realised how famous she was, she just said something about that side being 'in the circus'! Lol!!! Good Jewish girl, keeps her dress demure.
It sounded exotic to Kiwis in 1964, but was really a very poppy adaptation of Ska. Mind you, Millie Small was probably trying to sound poppy with "My Boy Lollipop"!
I need this single in my ska collection.
Now 2 be inducted into the New Zealand Rock 'n Roll hall of fame
Also a regular on Pete Sinclair's '60's C'mon TV program
Another great Kiwi singer

This was No1 for weeks in the mid 60's. Dinah is a Kiwi girl who went on to settle in Ozzie as she found success there with a release of this track.
One of my favourite songs from the sixties.
MY FIRST MUSIC CHOICE WHEN I WAS 14.. I LOVED DINAH LEE MUSIC..
Saw her in Melboune - Great Artist for many many years - Love the songs - From Firefighter Rob Melbourne xxxxx
memories are made of this
Love the bass groove
Sounds cute and make me wanna dance
I had this song in my head for at least a week!
Blue beat=first wave of UK style of Ska

@MickysMonkey'65 thanks Mick... will do 👍
Sound Like Barbie Graye's my
Boy Lollipop.❤
Pretty girl she reminds me of Sandie Shaw.Good voice too but unknown in the UK which is a shame.
Catchy.
I loved her as a teenager but my father didn't like her as she wore pants and had short hair
That's amazing. Women wore pants and had short hair back in the 1920s . Was your dad very religious?
carlton do the blue beat this year,ha ha ha .go the dees.
Do the poopy, and you'll never pee poo
