Born in Tottenham, North London, Clark left school without qualifications at the age of 15 and became a film stuntman, performing in over 40 films.
In the late 1960s, in addition to managing his band, Clark began directing and producing for television. In 1968 he made a "very successful" television production, Hold On, It's the Dave Clark Five. The band broke up in 1970, and in 1972 Clark stopped drumming after he broke four knuckles in a tobogganing accident. In 1986 Clark wrote a science fiction stage musical, Time that played for two years in London's West End, starring Cliff Richard (replaced later by David Cassidy) and featuring Laurence Olivier's huge holographic image. Clark became a successful entrepreneur and a multi-millionaire, owning a £12 million house in West London.[
Clark has never married but he was once romantically linked with television presenter Cathy McGowan. He was also a close friend of Queen singer Freddie Mercury. Clark was with Mercury when he died and told Mercury's parents of his death.[
Because
Dave Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try to make you happy when you're blue
It's right, it's right to feel the way I do
Because, because I love you
It's wrong to say I don't think of you
'Cause when you say these things
You know it makes me blue
Give me one kiss and I'll be happy
Just, just to be with you
Give me, give me, a chance to be near you
Because, because I love you
Give me one kiss and I'll be happy
Just, just to be with you
Give me, give me, a chance to be near you
Because, because I love you
Because, because I love you

It’s 2022, if you’re still listening to this classic song, give me a thumbs up. This song reminds me the beauty and nobility of the human soul still exist, in contrast of the war which is going on nowadays.
