Ahh. My first 45 was this record, and it's still in the loft. Got them all on cd's though. This gives my age away. Still in love with Helen, but she doesn't know it.
a great song and one of the few to tackle un requited love...first heard this in 1976 when i got my first radio, still makes me cry...wish i had told elaine...not seen her since 1979..heart still broken
thank you helen your voice brings the memories of my younger days. I was 9 years old then. Voice are made to bring back so many things.. You dont know how much you mean a lot to people who are 60 years old. But do you know whenever we play this song to retirees in old folk home..They remember the good, bad, sweet, bitter and forgive ALL. Your voice is a good therapy for people who have forgotten and then recall past life and love peacefully. May God bless you.
I could not disagree more with discovery781. This lady has a fantastic and rather unique voice . Helen Shapiro was a singing sensation and remains so today.
How I love the broken heart classics....had this playing when I got my heart broken so long ago...still love her voice and the songs words ......say no more
Back in the days when lyrics had a meaning to them... 'i would tell you if i believed that you might care someday, but until then i'll never give this away, so a secret it must stay'... that has to be one of my favourite lyrics of all time, compare it to the crap served nowadays... 'i kissed a girl and i liked it tasted up her cherry chapstick'...
She came over to Japan. I remember seeng a photo of her and Mieko Hirota, Japan's Helen Shapiro, standing side by side. Is that 1962 or 1963? Anyway it was a long time ago!
Some days ago I heard myself singing this song. I have just heard Ms Helen Shapiro sing this song thru YouTube after so many years. The song was wonderful. I will never get tired of this song. The song brings me back to those days when I was a high school student. I still love this song immensely.
I had not heard this song since the 60's. Funny we learnt it with our english teacher (i'm french) and I was 16 yrs old by then !! Unfortunately Helen Shapiro was not known in France what a shame she had such a beautiful voice !
Wonderful Helen Shapiro still sings at special evenings when she tells the story of her journey to faith. Don't miss these - even if you have no particular faith there is something for everyone to learn and appreciate.
The first record I ever bought. I was 8, was in a road accident, nearly died, Mum & Dad had to cancel the holiday (was to be our first ever holiday). So they bought a Bush record player instead. And I bought this. The memories of 50yrs ago are so vivid.
She was only 14 yrs old here ~ amazing. Her voice was truly outstanding & really mellowed over the following years to give her a quality & a range unsurpassed.
@Beeky633 I have a childhood memory of meeting Helen backstage and getting her autograph after seeing Oliver. It was the early 80s, I was only about 7 I think. I can't remember much of the show but I clearly remember meeting her. :-)
@josparkes1 The best Female singer ever to grace the UK Pop scene. Her voice is truly amazing. With the right management, I am sure, she could have taken the USA by storm in the 60s.
I am sure she is still performing to this day, and at last, becoming more loved now in the States,as she is, through the rest of the world. In the eighties this young beautiful Jewish girl gave her heart to Jesus. She now also sings for the Lord and helps others come to Christ through her Testament.
@goneoverboard2 She was indeed a very lovely voice, and I am sure she is dong well right now, and it is lovely to find that she has a faith and I am thrilled to hear that, that's wonderful.
My dad did session work with Helen shapiro in the 60s quite a few times, and said if she thought it wasn't right they all had to do it again until she was satisfied.
@Dean66Essex Yes it is Bernie Winters. Some of the stills in this vid come from the 1962 film Play it Cool, which starred Helen, Billy Fury and Bobby Vee. It was produced by Michael Winner.
I'm enjoying a Helen rebirth and can only say this lady should have been at the top even now! No sound effects needed for her talent! So glad she is still doing shows albeit gospel outreach. She is a great ambassador for Jesus. ;0)
i agee copeland ,they can't match this quality to-day with all their electronic trickery.one thing puzzles me though.if helen was born in 1946 then she could only have been 14 when she went into abbey road in the spring of 1961.any thoughts anyone? lucky we are anyway to have the chance to relive it all.electronics not all bad then but no replacement for human talent,heart and spirit.well done helen this is beautiful today after 40 years .if it didn't fade and fail by now it's made it !
Brilliant vocalist from the 60's. I saw her live in South Africa years ago-what a power house at 16. Remember the theatre going dark as they introduced her-all you heard was this big booming voice envelope the packed house, while she was still standing in the wings. She walked out on to the stage to such huge applause. Amazing.
a touch of magic about this song, funny after the Beatles and The Stones a lot of this early stuff was overlooked, so many memories attached to this ahhh
she's a bit before my time, but i stumbled across her stuff while delving for oldies...i think I've heard most of her discography by now, and have yet to encounter a stinker. great stuff.
i know helen shapiro, she lives at the bottom of my road. it's lovely in the morning to hear her practicing her songs as i walk past her house. you can hear her in her room, it's amazing & so is she, <3<3 xxxx.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@LilMissSexxiieeh Even more amazing is the old bag suffers from Alzheimer's and has difficulty remembering who she is let alone tune her vocal chords.
@helenkful That's infantile of you.Whether i can sing or not has no bearing on my right to comment upon the voice of Ms. Shapiro. What are you, a Stalinist!
Oh yes she did try to appeal to older audiences. On her appearance on "Sunday Night at the London Palladium" she sang standards. Certainly not what young audiences wanted to hear. She wasn't alone. There were other performers who thought that they had to appeal to older adiences.
Helen faded because she tried to appeal to older audiences and by doing this lost her teenage fan base...no she didn't....she appeared on the same concert bill as The Beatles (she was top of the bill), and the Beatles were on second. All the way through her singing the crowd were screaming for the Beatles. The End!
just released (07/02/2011) from EMI the ultimate 3 cd album 90 tracks (its got every helen song from the 60s), i ordered it from amazon £6.99 or you can download in MP3 the same 3 cds for £5.99
Fabulous singer. There was ony Helen Shapiro and Sylvia Sands in Britain. And Helen had the the better vocal range and was a wonderful interpreter of lyrics. Unfortunately, her recordings of this period ae marred by the overkill of the Norrie Paramour "Strings". Helen faded because she tried to appeal to older audiences and by doing this lost her teenage fan base. A great pity
One of the greatest songs of the 60's sung by one of the finest female voices ever....wonderful. Haunting delivery which makes you shiver just listening to it. And to think she was only 14 at the time of recording - amazing!
The delivery of this song is so haunting it sends shivers down my spine. Amazing to think she was only fourteen when recording it. As with each of the first four songs she recorded its totally memorable. The depth and power of her voice is quite breathtaking. Nobody ever sang with that kind of voice in any era of pop music. Totally unique and unforgetable Helen Shapiro forever.
Her voice on this (she was only 15) was astonishing, so mature and emotional. She remains one of the UK's greatest-ever female pop stars. Such a sad, wistful song, you can hear the longing in her voice, and you just want to reach out and give her a big hug. Thanks for posting this - maybe a new generation will realise just what a great singer we had in Helen.
united states' and rest of the world, missed an oppitunity to visit a country that has allways been top of the class for music/ culture/ actors/etc,etc, why do you think everyone would like to live hear, it's called the leaning process, and it's not to screw the benefit system, britains are just so good at doing anything, and if it is something special, a geordie will be involved
The United States missed an opportunity to discover this extremely talented British Girl from north London. Thank God we can hear her now on you tube!
@copewood1939 Your so right , these so called girl bands have not got any singer that can come close to this girl, and she didnt have to dance about half naked to look and sound good.
If only music was like this now, all these years and we can still sing to it, they don`t make them like this any more , mores the pity, we are lucky if we can tell what is being sung with most of todays music.
@TheDavidjoy - I feel the same way about this beautiful song by the very talented Helen Shapiro. I can also listen to this song over and over. She has an absolutely magnificent voice. I wonder if she still sings. I wish she had an e - mail address where I could write to her. Her other song " I Don't Care " is also great. Both of those songs should have been top 10 hits for her in the United States. It is so hard to believe that she was only successful in Great Britain.
It is so sad that the British public let her down and went out and bought records by the new Mersey sound,The Beatles,Gerry and the Pacemakers and so on.Groups became more fashionable it seems.
@rosechris48 ...yes i feel sorry for the people on here that missed that 60s era,the music was just fantastic,it was a great time to be a teenager...but at least the music has survived and stood the test of time and my £5 a week wages at 15 went a long way...lol
@tonyhgv Yes, I agree I feel sorry for anyone who was not a teenager in the 60`s too, it was wonderful. You got 2s 6d more than me, I had £4.17s 6d. for my wages but as you said, it did go a long way.
Helen got paid one farthing per track, two tracks on one single.Four farthings made one penny,for two singles sold, Helen made one penny, 240 pennies made one pound. So Helen had to sell 480 singles to receive one pound. When she had sold a million records she received £2,080, very generous of E.M.I. Might I add that in my view she was one of the BEST female singers we HAVE, still on the go now.Helen would have been an international star in the sixties with the RIGHT management, regards,David.
@BEATLE1947 I very much doubt if other British record companies were any more generous than EMI. In the 1960s many artists were ripped off by record companies and even by the artists' own managements. Producer George Martin left EMI's employment because he was earning so little for masterminding the Beatles' recording careers.
There will never be a time like the early 1960's; I wish everyone could have spent just a few minutes being there. It just felt awesome back then. Helens music sets that feeling in stone.

@copewood1939 Your so right , these so called girl bands have not got any singer that can come close to this girl, and she didnt have to dance about half naked to look and sound good.

100% agree with you!! Compared to that whining Leona Lewis or Alexander Burk-Face, dear Helen simply out shines them in every aspect.

@Splazz 'Jack Charlton' at 0.40 is John Schroeder who co-wrote this song.

If only music was like this now, all these years and we can still sing to it, they don`t make them like this any more , mores the pity, we are lucky if we can tell what is being sung with most of todays music.

@TheDavidjoy - I feel the same way about this beautiful song by the very talented Helen Shapiro. I can also listen to this song over and over. She has an absolutely magnificent voice. I wonder if she still sings. I wish she had an e - mail address where I could write to her. Her other song " I Don't Care " is also great. Both of those songs should have been top 10 hits for her in the United States. It is so hard to believe that she was only successful in Great Britain.

It is so sad that the British public let her down and went out and bought records by the new Mersey sound,The Beatles,Gerry and the Pacemakers and so on.Groups became more fashionable it seems.

@rosechris48 ...yes i feel sorry for the people on here that missed that 60s era,the music was just fantastic,it was a great time to be a teenager...but at least the music has survived and stood the test of time and my £5 a week wages at 15 went a long way...lol
tonyhgv 1 year ago
@tonyhgv Yes, I agree I feel sorry for anyone who was not a teenager in the 60`s too, it was wonderful. You got 2s 6d more than me, I had £4.17s 6d. for my wages but as you said, it did go a long way.
rosechris48 1 year ago
@rosechris48 That was good money. I started work August 1960,as an apprentice engineer for the princely sum of £1- 10 shillings a week.

Helen got paid one farthing per track, two tracks on one single.Four farthings made one penny,for two singles sold, Helen made one penny, 240 pennies made one pound. So Helen had to sell 480 singles to receive one pound. When she had sold a million records she received £2,080, very generous of E.M.I. Might I add that in my view she was one of the BEST female singers we HAVE, still on the go now.Helen would have been an international star in the sixties with the RIGHT management, regards,David.

@BEATLE1947 That's disgusting i'm glad EMI are in trouble now they have ripped off so many people.
susieboo74 1 year ago
@BEATLE1947 I very much doubt if other British record companies were any more generous than EMI. In the 1960s many artists were ripped off by record companies and even by the artists' own managements. Producer George Martin left EMI's employment because he was earning so little for masterminding the Beatles' recording careers.

There will never be a time like the early 1960's; I wish everyone could have spent just a few minutes being there. It just felt awesome back then. Helens music sets that feeling in stone.
