The Dedikation "The Dedikation" 1969

The tail end of the 1960s was a rare moment for Kiwi singles. In late October 1969, four of the top five places on the charts were held by New Zealand artists: Shane, with ‘Saint Paul’, which had just spent six weeks at No.1, The Hi-Revving Tongues’ ‘Rain and Tears’, The Dedikation’s ‘Wait For Me Mary-Anne’, and Larry Morris with ‘The Hunt’. At the top, but only for one week, was Robin Gibb’s ‘Saved by the Bell’...
...when schoolboy musicians graeme collins and ray mercer saw the beatles in wellington,
“rock’n’roll truly claimed us”.
by the time ‘ruby tuesday’ was released in 1970, the band was starting to break apart.
their dedikation’s look was part-carnaby street fop and part-wine waiter.
