Dave Dee
David John Harman was born on December 17, 1941, in Salisbury, Wiltshire,
England, and rose to prominence as the frontman of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick &
Tich. After leaving school as a police cadet, he learned guitar on an impounded
Gretsch after witnessing the 1960 Eddie Cochran crash, which inspired the
formation of Dave Dee and the Bostons. The group signed to Fontana Records and
changed their name to Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, achieving UK chart
success with "Hold Tight" (number 4) and later hits such as "Hideaway", "Bend
It!", "Save Me", and the 1968 UK Number 1 "...
