Hi I can't speak for all of them But JoAnna is My Grandma and she just turned 64 yesterday and doing Great. She is still as beautiful as ever. Also If you would like to speak to her she is on facebook listed as Joanna Clark.
WOW, does this take me down memory lane. I was 13 years old and had a puppy love back then and his name just happened to be DONNIE, so this song and it's haunting music really made an impact on me. 🎶❤️🎶
As noted above, on this day in 1964 {May 2nd} the Bermudas performed "Donnie" on the ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time "Donnie" was at position #86 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, four weeks later it would peak at #62 {for 1 week} and it spent ten weeks on the Top 100... "Donnie" was the trio's only Top 100 record...
Becky, the middle one, sang as Pebbles in the Flintstones. She did the singing voice for LET THE SUN SHINE IN. Her mother Ricky, sang in the song also doing Bamm-Bamm's part.
So thrilled to find hear this song and see the Bermudas. When I was 16, the love of my life was “Donni” and I was thrilled to hear this on the radio in 1964. Am happily married for 47 years to someone completely different, but was so happy to see my Donni some years ago. I searched in vain for years to hear this song again, what beautiful voices. THANK YOU!!
My older cousin Judy bought this and sang along with the record to me.....embarrassed the crap outta me, but I loved the attention too. That was 56 years ago, I really miss her.....
This record made it to #62 nationally. At this time (May of 1964), the top five spots of Billboard's hot 100 were all occupied by The Beatles. As I watch this, I can't help but think to myself that Dick Clark must be fully aware (or at least have an inkling) of the fact that this whole style of writing, production and presentation was on it's very last legs. If this record had been released a year earlier, it would've been considered hip, if not exactly cutting edge. If it had been released only a few months later, it would have instantly disappeared without even bubbling under.
Very true. The Beatles revolution(I wasn't alive when that happened) totally destroyed the '50s/early '60s r&r by emphasizing beat, different note structure, and altered rhythms that '50s-'60s rock had, but was primative to say the least. Plus, the Beatles emphasized originality over all which the rock scene hadn't had since the appearance of Elvis Presley in '56. And, writing their own material certainly helped them as well. 😁
A girl group I"ve never heard before, that's a rarity. For some reason, whenever I'd seen the name "The Bermudas" in the past, I never paid much attention because I thought they were likely an instrumental surf group or some such, it never occured to me that this could be the name of a girl group. This was a really cute interview! The song had a nice quality too, mysterious in tone.
They were introduced as Becky, Joanna, and Sheila. However the Whitburn reference book lists the mother Rickie (Page), not Sheila as the 3rd member. Just some info.
I'm in the middle, the youngest! what a blast from the past!
Love to hear the history behind this song. This was my favorite song! The mix was incredible-who wrote & arranged this masterpiece?
You were 12? You look awfully mature for a pre-teen.
rebecca page Cool! 😁
pure awesomeness
Hello. Did you perform for the Flintstones cartoon series?

Wow! 12, 14 and 15! They look so much more grown up! Love 'em!
They sure do look grown up1
Great song and very talented young ladies. The hair styles of the day... well... the hairstyle on the right reminds me of the movie: "MARS ATTACKS"

Loved this ❤️❤️ song. It's eerie overtones. Found it in an oldies Book in the 90s. Their lip syncing is a little off but who cares. It's a nice song
.
heard this this past weekend on a countdown by don tandler onpop gold radio....first time ever hearing this and i love it
Sirens calling me back again and again
Dreamy song - went out & got the record i liked it so much. The flip side is just as good. A +

RIP 2020
I believe Joanna was also in Joanne and the Triangles.
The giant beehive dos make them look older, but when they go closeup they look younger
that is some amazing hair!
love it
i miss your posts❤️
This was such an underrated record. I loved the flip side too ("Chu Sen Ling") although it is myopically xenophobic.
I don't remember this song or this group. Does anyone else? Cheers!
@edalhouse645 How old are you? If I remember, this song reach #62 on the Billboard. I loved it.
What ever happened to them?
The one in the middle I believe is Pebbles Flintstone!!
Would you possibly have an April 19th 1963 clip of Johnny Cymbal on American Bandstand singing Mr Bass Man.
I knew it! I picked you out as the youngest!! Well, great memories for you I'm sure!
3 STRANGE GIRLS................
song sounds like "LEAH" by Roy Orbison.
No........they all live separate lives..........
Why is AB outside? Didn't know they did road shows.
How cool is that, Becky! Do you remember where you are filming during this shoot? That bee hive and make up made you look so mature for your age! :--)
I've wondered why they were outside?
No way are they those ages!
rebecca you're only 12 here? My eyes! lol
What red-blooded American male could resist these siren's call?
They were introduced as Becky, Joanna, and Sheila. However the Whitburn reference book lists the mother Rickie (Page), not Sheila as the 3rd member. Just some info.
those girls are NOT 12 15 and 16
+Klare Getty Yes they really were 12 14 and 16

Keep the away from Jake LaMotta.

Dress them up like adults. Disgusting.

This is Becky, in the middle, what a blast from the past.
