I recall reading somewhere that Freddy's dance was a parody of a slick little routine that 'The Shadows' used to do. 'The Shadows' being a very popular instrumental group, who enjoyed considerable success here in Blighty in the 60's. Everybody wanted to be Hank B Marvin.

Sorry to hear that Freddy has left us, I could not believe my eyes when I saw him bouncing around on TV all those years ago. You need a fair amount of breath to sing, let alone sing and jump around the way he did. One of a kind.
