A difficult-to-categorize male-female duo from L.A., Dick & Dee Dee had some success with material that drew from doo wop, teen idol fare, pop, and even soul/R&B in the first half of the 1960s. The pair's biggest and best hit was their first, the moody, minor-key midtempo ballad "The Mountain's High," which reached number two in 1961. Much of their material (including "The Mountain's High") was written by Dick (full name Dick St. John), and the high vocals of <a href="spotify:artist:3xHrpvVml7z3dOphgKFWwg">Dee Dee</a> in particular led some listeners to incorrectly assume they were Black. They reached the Top 30 with a few more pop-oriented follow-ups -- "Young and in Love," "Turn Around," and "Tell Me" -- in the next couple of years, but got their second biggest smash with their toughest number, the blue-eyed soul-ish "Thou Shalt Not Steal," in 1964. A popular touring act in their day (appearing with <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV">the Beach Boys</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:22bE4uQ6baNwSHPVcDxLCe">Rolling Stones</a> among others), they faded from view after the mid-'60s. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
