Jackie DeShannon-Needles And Pins (Best version) (Video) [Good(+) quality / No mpg4 resolution]

[CydnotCharrise1]

I agree with you that this is the best version of this song ( the same goes for her version of When You Walk In The Room ). Both songs send a chill through you just to listen to it. Her vocals are spot on and the emotion shines through as well. And thanks for your channel. It helps in bringing to light a vastly underrated artist of the 60s.

[konzwambii]

She's so lighthearted here, unaware she's doing one of the best rock 'n roll songs of all time. What a sexy raspy voice!

[SingDude]

The Hard Times did a nice version of "I Can Make it With You" which Jackie also recorded.

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

once agian "the searchers,"out did jackie with their version of this song same as they did on "when you walk in the room". she is a great writer and performer I love watching however.easy on the eyes too!

[SingDude]

@TheBabyboomkidof53 Gotta disagree. I find Jackie's versions superior on both songs.

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

@SingDude simple facts are the searchers had hits with both songs while jackies versions went nowhere.maybe it was due to the fact the british invasion was in full swing and could do no wrong.but whatever it was those are the facts.

[SingDude]

@TheBabyboomkidof53 We can disagree about whose versions are better, no problem with me. Both of Jackie's singles charted, and Needles and Pins even went to #1 in Canada! To me, she's the original and still the best :)

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

@SingDude understood,I'm just very careful with " history revisionists" ( I'm not saying your one),who often want to rewrite it to reflect what they " wish" it had been. I like jackie's version of 'when you walk in the room', dont care much for her "needles and pins" however. when I think of songs I think of how I first heard them and by who.it was the "searchers" in both cases.

[sharkfin60]

This Girl is my favorite singer !!!

[poptopia1]

looks like keith allison next to jackie with guitar and sunglasses

[sharkfin60]

Wonderful good-lookin girl who can sing so even birds will listen !!!

[mattycat33]

Jackie was great, a much under-rated song-writer and performer.

[juan58102]

i will married her! What a woman!

[123456734459]

Loved here in the sixtys, Still love here  today, Thanks for the post,Tezza the Manch..............

[Rabidburt]

I never paid much attention to her in the '60s. Clearly, I missed the boat. She's terrific. . .

[pbgoodwin1]

She was a great songwriter. Great!

[colinsdream1]

Very innocent, but she has a naughty little vibe.

[jpkyker]

Freaking awesome!! Thanks for uploading this. What a gem!

[PHL76Music]

Who are the guys sitting on stage?

[DeShannoninmyheart]

@PHL76Music A group called The Hard Times, who were regular artists for a while on this show.

[bellamonde]

Fantastic!!!!! Love Jackie!

[MrEdgarjuan]

if the searchers are so great,please tell me of a song originally done by the searchers?they were copy cats.at least the stones and the beatles sang some of their own music.also,the searchers lack the feeling that ms.jackie de shannon put all of her soul and voice into it.get real.

[BlackMonk66]

@MrEdgarjuan If you want one written by the group and not just performed by them first, these are from the albums I have: Little Bit of Heaven, Till I Met you, I'm Your Loving Man, He's Got No Love, You Can't Lie To a Liar, Don't You Know Why, So Far Away, Don't Hang On, This Kind of Love Affair, and Come on Back To Me. I don't have most of their albums, though and most of what I do have is from after Chris Curtis, their main songwriter, left.

[MrEdgarjuan]

@BlackMonk66

thanks for the info.but i am sure they were bigger in good ole u.k than the u.s.

to me jackie is still better.but it all comes down to what you like.enjoy life

the best you can.peace.

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

the searchers "own" this song.....but I love jackie doing anything.

[petie71]

I keep on forgetting she's American and not British. Lol. x

[htdaniel]

Thanks

[909chuck]

She seems to be finally having a great time! Jeez, those '60s teen shows! Funny, embarrassing, fascinating. Thanx 4 posting a real rarity!

[konzwambii]

Jackie does this casual performance, yet almost unknowingly creates this timeless masterpiece. Very sophisticated musically, very artistic. You won't forget it, and no one else can approach it.

[NickRatnieks]

It appears the recent ukulele revival had its roots in this performance.

[burnley5960]

Pure Class

[Columbidae1]

This is from "

Where the action is"

[Columbidae1]

Dick Clark was young there....

[45jimmyd]

this is without doubt the best version of this song!!

[diannemando]

Hey, it's prerecorded . . . it's goofy . . . but priceless.

[aga270790]

this is the great wersion of all !!!!

[Lockemeister]

I think Sonny Bono wrote this song.

Its a great song and a great performance

[DeShannoninmyheart]

@Lockemeister Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche wrote the song, but lately it's been said that Jackie also contributed a bit.

[maverick10241]

@Lockemeister he co wrote this and the searchers sold more records then anyone else.i think they did the best job.

[Raindropser3]

@Lockemeister

Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono.

That´s right:-)

Jackie wrote: "Walk in the room".

[topwhinger]

what a cracker she is

[clubhoffman]

I agree, one ohf the best songs. I prefer The Ramones version.

[RudeHouseStudio]

I only discovered her version today. I have to say, for me, it's the very best version I've heard. Better than The Searchers, The Ramones, etc.

[PonderingPig]

To me, who also loves British Invasion era, Jackie's version of this classic is unmatched for strength and passion, in spite of its portrayal on this goofy video. I like it even better than Tom Petty's great version.

'Goofy' doesn't mean I don't like the vid. It's absolutely classic.

[CenaTv2]

sorry, but the searchers version is soo much better, but then im a big fan of the searchers and love british invasion

[DeShannoninmyheart]

@CenaTv2 No way!!! (LOL)

[spacepatrolman]

@CenaTv2 PINSA the searchers picked that up from her

[bopava]

The best pop song of 1963, no doubt about it.

[recordguy4321]

looks like Keith Allison standing up playing guitar on this clip.

[DeShannoninmyheart]

@recordguy4321 You're right.

[Sweeteesweet1]

Always liked Jackie's version better than the Searchers', which I find corny and painfully English. Love Jackie's southern lilt, and I hate their putzy Liverpudlian pronounciation: "pinzaaah"

A recentl article revealed Jackie DID in fact take part in the writing, which doesn't surprise me. It uses her favorite I-vi-IV-V progression, except the somewhat odd bridge, which was probably Jack Nietzche's big contribution. I'm guessing the melody is Jackie's and the lyrics are Bono's.

[BandGeek7594]

jackie is my favorite artist of the 60s. it's a shame we don't have as much music like this nowadays.
