The photographs you've assembled here are fantastic! I was born in 1954, old enough to be keenly aware of songs and bands appearing on Hollywood A-Go-Go and 9th Street West; and, of course, the dancers. Oh my! Of particular interest are the two photos of several girls, if I may, taken at an unnamed military installation somewhere in California, at which the Everly Brothers and Joey Paige appeared in 1965. That installation was MCB 29 Palms, and the servicemen in the photos aren't soldiers, they're Marines! I know, because I was at that show (my dad was stationed at headquarters, prior to his first deloyment to Vietnam) put on by base special services while Don and Phil were there on reserve training. I remember it very well. (A rumor went through the crowd ... the Rolling Stones would be making a surprise appearance. Ha!) I love this web site, remembering very special times and places.

Hi, I read with interest the on-line article about Hollywood A Go Go; However, in no place was mentioned about the last episode from England, "CHEERIO A GO GO" I saw this when it was broadcast back in 1965, but have not seen it since, because it's not available on video anywhere But I remember it well: It showcased various British music stars lip-syncing to their hits around different locations in London: it had MANFRED MANN doing 2 songs; THE ZOMBIES; SANDIE SHAW; MARIANNE FAITHFULL; THE KINKS doing 2 songs at the night club on "Eel Pie Island"; HERMAN of Herman's Hermits doing an interview at Piccadilly Circus; an interview (only) with the ROLLING STONES at their London flat with Sam Riddle; and the ending showed the BEATLES getting off the plane with "Eight Days a Week" playing in the background! WHERE is this episode??? I would love to see it again any

The Gazzarri Dancer Website captures the lives of many girls whose lives would have been mostly forgotten . Jim has done an outstanding job by documenting their lives in the pivotal 60’s.

I liked the video I Fought the Law 1966 by Bobby Fuller Four on You tube. I asked who the dancers were and what would they be doing now. De De recently told me who she was and who they were as a dance group. I was impressed

I have been infatuated w Dale for the last year. Seeing her dancing in “I”ll Feel a Lot Better” was key as she looked like my wife and danced like her !!! However, I have three questions that have not been answered: 1. How did she drown in 1987? 2. Who is the father of her late son Alfie. 3. Why did she go by Vann and not Vandenberg? I have been reading some books by Ian Whitcomb who had a relationship w Dale. His book are great. Unfortunately, he would never answer these questions before he died(((

[continued post]...She accepted and for the first half of the song we were the only ones on the dance floor, then other couples also started dancing. That was the only time I ever spoke to her, and I never danced with her again. But throughout the years I have always regarded it as one of my life's peak moments: 19-year-old me, breaking the ice on the dance floor at The Trip with Gazzarri Dancer June, while The Grass Roots were singing the lyrics "Ain't that lovin' you baby, and you don't even know my name." Perfecto. From June's autobiography: "...'The Trip Nightclub' (hottest club in town)...Us Gazzarri Dancers performed there by tearing up the dance floor when we felt like it." And once, just once, I won the cosmic lottery and June Wilson and I tore up the dance floor at The Trip together.

My June Fairchild story: I went to The Trip nightclub around 20 times between Sept. 1965 and Mar. 1966, frequently noticing June there. She was totally out of my league; usually she was sitting at the special tables off the left side of the dance floor. In addition to her beauty and dance talent, her personality, charm, sense of humor (which was obvious when she would Statue dance), frivolity, and dance energy attracted and entertained me. From June's autobiography: "...a very popular Nightclub 'THE TRIP'. Us dancers after filming, would always drop in to dance some more! Everyone loved it when we showed up!" Well I sure did! I liked to go to The Trip early so I could get a fairly good table. Performers I saw there included Barry McGuire, The Byrds, The Leaves, The Grass Roots, The Muthers, The Sinners. One night The Grass Roots were a few songs into their opening set and nobody had yet "broken the ice" on the dance floor. A good song started, I took a deep now-or-never breath, walked over and asked June to dance. She ac

So many fond memories. Our house bands were LA Rocks, Monkey Chow, Brand Blvd, and Guns and Rose's (via battle of the Bands). I was there from 81 thru 84.

Searched YT for Bo Diddley vids and the HAGG showed up. I am now practically obsessed with the Gazarri dancers. So much youthful energy and shows the vibe of WeHo in the mid 60's. I immigrated to LA in 1971 and would missed out on the Sunset Blvd scene when it really counted.

A few weeks ago I got obsessed with one Of the dancers in a Byrds video on YT. At the time I thought my chances of finding out who she was Were minimal. But suddenly the puzzle pieces came together and I found out she is Dale Vann who had a romantic interest with Ian Whitcomb. So I just tried to contact him on FB. However, I was crushed when I found out what happened to Dale. It would have been so special to meet her On the Strip in 1965.

Really fun watching the Gazzarri dancers. Hard to pick a favorite but I do like Dawn a lot (one reason: she is the shortest). I hope some or most of the dancers are on facebook or maybe have their own webpage.

Dawn Michaels one of the Gazzarri Dancers is a friend of mine. I was one of the Discotheque Dancers also that toured with the Beatles in 1965. On Dawn's page you have a few photos in two rows of shots from Shea Stadium when we danced with the Beatles, one of them is not Dawn it is me, the top one on the left. Is Dawn still alive?

So I got a question. Is there a list of the winners of the Miss Gazzarri Dancers and if so who won in 1973? It's actually really important. Please e-mail.

I am so very thrilled to have found this site! I used to come dance on both Hollywood A Go-Go and 9th Street West almost all the time and have many memories of it. These were some of the best times of my teen years! 🎶

I appeared in Episode 40 with The Fugitives. One of the members recently died and we are having a memorial service for him and would love to get a copy of that episode. Any help or suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks Allen

Back in the mid 60's while in Naval Air, and away from home for long periods of time, we often wondered how the girls looked. How far above the knee the skirts were, the new songs etc. Arriving back state-side we rushed to the lounge as we were told about HAGG and its sights an sounds. The Gazzarri dancers said it all. Gorgeous girls, skirts well above the knee, and the super sounds of the time. De De Mollner caught my eye doing the Mashed Potato with her famed side kick, flowing to the music with her hair flying wildly with superb moves as with all the dancers.. So sorry for Dale, Jacqui, and June. To all of the girls of HAGG, You are the Best of the Best then and now. Thanks for the memories. Joe
