The Mountain's High
The first Dick and Dee Dee 45 rpm release [["I Want Someone" backed by "
The Mountain's High") was on Lama Records, a small company started by their record producers, the Wilder brothers and
Don Ralke. Their
recordings were created with four voice tracks. Each of them sang two separate
harmony lines. St. John sang the highest and lowest parts including the
falsetto, and Dee Dee sang the middle notes. Without telling the duo, the record producers changed Mary's name to Dee Dee, something the duo did not discover until after the record was released.
