I was lucky enough to meet him whan I was a teen in the 70's and he was booked as an act at Romeo and Juliets nightclub in Liverpool when they had a series of 60's nights,I told him I had loved him when I was a kid and I particularly loved You were made for me,I asked him would he be singing it and he said he didn't think so,I was a bit sad by that but then half way through his show he announced he had a special song for a special girl...then raced towards me,went down on one knee and held my hand and sang it while gazing at me...I was red with embarassment as the whole club were clapping,he came and sat with my best mate Carol and I at our table when his act was over and we spent a lovely evening chatting and laughing,we were sad when it was time for him to go!Such a lovely man...thanks for the precious memory Freddie...RIP xxxx
We are in an age of cynicism and anger, the early 60's was a time of growth and simple fun. These guys were never serious, this was their act, their shtict! Not the most popular group ever but they were well liked by most people. A fun group like the Monkee's. You have to have lived through this time to get their music. Let's put this into perspective before you criticize it. This song was popular almost 50 years ago, that's half a century ago.
