Sharon Tandy ~with Les Fleur De Lys~ / Hold On

[folderman71]

Absolutely explosive!

[DanielBowden1975]

Nah that's too fucking good. Le crunch groove

[UKMod66]

Incredible guitar riff and nobody commented on the body painted topless dancer at the 1.49 mark. Fleur De Lys were awesome and their sound has stood up well since those 60's. Nice Post.

[andreasprot]

The guitar riff reminds me of Traffic Sounds (best latin group ever!) Yesterday´s games. Maybe this 45 was also available in Peru!!

Groooovy!!!

[monsieurdino1]

monsieur dino and dj moolinex sound !!!



[fleurdrums]

Yes, the guitarist is Bryn Haworth, using a white Stratocaster. And no, Jimmy Page had nothing whatsoever to do with any recordings involving Sharon.

Fleur De Lys released one single as "Ruperts People", as they didn't like the song, and refused to have the "Fleurs" name on it.

Also, Sharon is still alive, but has been suffering ill health for some years, and is still one top lady.

[nealchi]

Well, guys, actually the guitar is played by Bryn Hawarth, the lead guitarist of the Fleur-de-Lys, who were Sharon's backing band. He played a borrowed white Fender Telecaster through a Vox AC30 amp and about 30 seconds were edited out of it. Page reputedly produced a couple of her tracks but he didn't play on any of them - well, he didn't need to if Bryn could play like this. Check out some of the other Fleur-de-Lys recordings - they later became Rupert's People.

[ecnalubma696969]

That's extra!

[daddyrollingstone]

Complete kick ass rock guitar slaughter and super hot boner inducing vocals....what more could you ask for?

FANTASTIC!

[PAULLONDEN]

@daddyrollingstone INf•ckingDEED daddy,thisis as good as it gets.♫

[phantomofthedrivein]

@daddyrollingstone I was born with a boner

[spadge321]

it's JIMMY PAGE when he was doing session work ,, awesome merchant,,

[PAULLONDEN]

@spadge321

MISINFORMED....doesn't antimatter..this was from '67 even before L.Z. Most people in later years contribiuted this (understandable) to Page. Bryn Haworth seems to have found God,a few years after this incendiary purgatory performance.It's rumoured God never forgave him for this slice of string burning.

[cozener1]

Timeless! Quality never dates.

[gommecourt]

Haven't heard this in years. Amazing!

[Uberuserreal]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo­. Fookin' INCREDIBLE!!!! HOLD ON...

[Scotttyist]

Is that Bryn Haworth on guitar? Sounds like it. I love his slashing tone. Check out his solo on Mud in your eye if you can. Inspired stuff.

[fiendwithoutaface66]

@Scotttyist yes it's him

[Scotttyist]

@fiendwithoutaface66 Thanks for that bit of info. I always thought that it was he because this style of playing is in the vein of Mud in your eye (particularly the solo). I was a little heartbroken to hear that it could have been a product of Little Jimmy Page's session work. Thanks for setting the record straight.

[fiendwithoutaface66]

@Scotttyist I don't think Jimmy Page was even involved in the band at the time Bryn Haworth was in there. For the record though he just produced some early songs by them, they were in a different lineup, he's not playing on anything. There's a longstanding myth that he plays on Circles but that's Phil Sawyer who was later in the Spencer Davis Group.

[hjalles]

There´s a record store in Sweden called "Hold on Records" this is the reason why.

[ingarchmajko]

Great !

[stevie007wood]

Can't stop playing this. FAB!!!!

[motekhall]

Yep another cracker....luvly stuff.

[hellfiregrowler]

I was definatly born in the wrong era! this is mint! :)

[sinning1966]

@hellfiregrowler Yeah definitely. It seems the band hide out behind the curtain to play bad-ass guitar :-).

[peppinodeleo]

@hellfiregrowler me too!

[snowfiresunwind]

Actually as I recall the backing band for this is the Bar Keys and has Steve Cropper on lead guitar.

[PAULLONDEN]

Snowfire.......although she worked with the Stax crew in Mephis,this trancelike incendiary guitar work, came from Bryn Howarth,short time member of '67 London based mod band 'Fleur De Lys'

[1974rail]

Does sharon tandy have a website?

[discdon]

Yep. I've just heard Sharon Tandy sing this at the 100 Club -- a couple of hours ago, backed by a couple of Fleur de Lys. Same smile and haircut!.

A great performance - amazing guitar work.

[KojiRecords]

Right song, wrong singer---the superb instrumenation is total kick ass and begging for a Tina Turner type vocalist to CEVOUR both the song and the band---the vocalist on this kind of track has to be able to be in front at all times. The way this should have been recorded was to amp Sharon Tandy's mic to distortion level to create an whacked out effect in groove with the 60s. Can you imagine what Janis Joplin would have done with this track?

[frankendust]

What? 40 years later you decide you want to be they're manager? How it should have been recorded? Yes, I can imagine what Janice Joplin would have done to this song! Wake up a smell the Fleur de Lys!

[huborge1]

pero que le pasa a esta chica?? Le gustaría de verdad esta tema con Les fleur de lys? LO digo porque no parece que aprecie el pedazo de solo que se marcan. Realmente excitante la guitarra!!!!!

[cultpunk1]

I LOVE this.

[westpenninewoman]

What happened to her? Is she still alive?

[TheSmiler65]

Yes she's still alive. Me and a friend have just written a book on the Fleur De Lys, and we interviewed her.

[369bollix]

Has anyone got Sharon Tandy doing Toe Hold on Video? If so, please load it up 'cos it's great. I think she's backed by Stax band, he Bar Kays (Otis Redding backing)? Mick C.

[369bollix]

Real name, Sharon Winkelman, wouldn't have caught on. But Fluer de Lys were ace. Sharon keeps her composure and the group go effing mad. Brilliant! Should have 'Only play LOUD' on the label. Mick C.

[queenieepstein]

she use to be a man a very famous man named paul mccartney this is the beatles biggest secret

[departments2006]

Arse kicking guitar solo. Great band LFDL. Blow The Who's version of 'Circles' out of the window.

[heuilleman]

PyScHeDeLiC guitar solo !!!

[zonqor]

This is absolutely kicking.

[rockhenke]

this is sooo fucking cool song....like someone said before..it´s way ahead of it´s time..this is actually before the stooges and MC5.!!

[Executive1]

Yep, Sharon is still alive, but she's only doing live performances in clubs now. She made a comeback in 2004.

[sp4172]

I was searching for Les Fleurs De Lys and found this video. Man this is a hidden gem !!! Thanks for posting !!!

[tott66]

lovely fleshy wench

[lotus7eater]

One of the most exciting guitar solos ever. Played by Bryn Haworth - now appearing on You Tube.

[meinwalkmanistkaputt]

timeless classic, love this

[art72]

weird ...it's almost ahead of its time....almost early heavy metalish....like the beginnig of black sabbath....super cool

[westpenninewoman]

What happened to Sharon Tandy? Is she still alive?

[polaroideye]

Thanks for uploading this, it's a classic!

[kdancat]

What a groovy chick!!

This is so totaly cool!!

[MetalTigger]

Between 1965-69..One of the best she recorded. She also did a couple with Fleur-De-Lys and as the 'Tandy' in Tony & Tandy.

Other stand out tracks (for me) have to be 'Toe Hold','Love Makes The World Go Round' and 'Our Day Will Come'. Not the strongest voice in the World for singing.. but there just 'something' about her and her singing that I latched onto in '65. Thanks for the memories.

[jaegere05]

I disagree, I think she has a very strong voice. And Im a pretty harsh critic being a singer myself. While I admit her voice sounfs a little tired at this performance, if you listen to "I wanna Be Your Baby" on the Sharon Tandy collection, her voice sounds pretty damn superb.

[MetalTigger]

Hi, Actually I have found singers to be rarely critical about other singers -a fact borne out of over 40 years experience. I bought all her singles when they first came out so you could say I was a fan. She had/has the range but not the strength and on that we agree to differ.

[plantagenant]

Never heard this before...it's great. Fab footage as well. Thanks for posting this.
