Pop Star Mannerisms

[louisa]

I remember those artists and the songs!

I'd never noticed Gene Pitney's nodding before. If he hadn't been doing that he would have stood there totally still, looking like a dress maker's dummy.


The hand movements were Dave Berry's 'thing' although he did himself no favours by continually covering his face.

For what it's worth I always think Dave Berry has the look of Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. It's the cheekbones.

Dave Berry also recorded one of the saddest and most plaintive songs ever!

Check out 'The Crying Game'.
