"The Mountain's High" is a 1961 hit R&B song written and performed by the California duo Dick and Dee Dee. It featured Dick St. John Gosting's overdubbed falsetto and Dee Dee Phelps's harmony. Produced by the Wilder Brothers and Don Ralke, it was released as the B-side of "I Want Someone". It was flipped inadvertently by a San Francisco DJ and became an immediate hit with local listeners. Liberty Records of Los Angeles soon signed on the artists for national distribution.[1]
The song reached the number two spot in September 1961 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent two weeks there, held out of number one by Bobby Vee's "Take Good Care of My Baby". It also reached #37 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
