  • here is the proof your grannies we're once "hotties" young people.

  • At 0:16 she winks at me.......

  • It's hard to stay focused on the music. Jackie sure fills out that skirt to perfection. This is what a real woman should look like, and dress like. She dances good, too.

  • Just as good as the Searchers if not better,great song

  • Just fabulous... what a mover

  • 1964...1st year at high school....first heard this song by the Searchers.

    Now i'm 59 years old... just heard the original.

    Youtube, unbelievable.

  • cooooool!

  • Terrible wrinkled skirt, but everything else is great. Love Jackie!

  • She's cool!

  • FABULOUS!!!! Brings back memory after memory after memory of great, simpler times. This represents music when it WAS music. We danced, sang along and had so much fun just holding hands with our boyfriends at the soda shop.

  • The dancers look to be having sooooo much fun. What a simpler time. Where's a time machine when you need one? 

    Oh yeah, for the 'dislikes' I have a comment too...seriously???

  • Magic

  • Love how she comes in early at the beginning and has a little laugh over it!

  • I used to love Jackie De Shannon back in the sixties. I loved this version which Jackie wrote over and above the Searchers copy of it.

  • This is soooo 1965ish. How can you not fall in love with this.

    I feel like that person who commented on top comments.

    Everytime i come to listen to this 1 or 2 times maybe, i end up watching 10 times or more.

    Of course it does not hurt to just look at this world class beauty singing this amazing song.

  • Mesmerising

  • Among many other great songs, Jackie wrote this one too.

  • Great singer. Great song.

  • I have always thought that the original version of this song was by The Searchers. If it was by American Jackie DeShannon, okay. just about everything the Brits did in those days was stolen from America. Jackie's original was excellent, but I grew up with the Searchers' version. Thank you for posting this!

  • @muide7 You said: everything the Brits did in those days was stolen from America HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is too funny! If you are from that era, you must have slept through it.

  • Oh GOOD MEMORY'S.

  • Oh goooood memory's.

  • GREAT video....great song....beautiful singer.....I too am a 60's lover!....I thank God I spent my teenage years listening to songs like this. I agree with everything seangower said 11 months ago and with the other messages left on here. I would go a stage further and say "Jackie if ever you get to read this and you would consider a holiday at my villa in Spain, please contact me" I am serious and sincere!.....barrieinspain@hot­mail.com

  • Springsteen covered this song if that tells you something. There is a little magic about mid 60's cool that is appealing. It is a more innocent time. All hell has not broken loose yet, but it is about to. People are dressed better and seem healthier.

  • The BEST thing about this lady is that she actually WROTE this song and still looks just as beautiful today !

  • I don't think this clip is from 'Hullabaloo.' It looks more like '9th Street West,' a dance program in the 60s out of Hollywood.

    Love Jackie, met her when I was a teen and she couldn't have been nicer.

    Happy Birthday, Jackie!

  • @EagleRockers The clip is from a syndicated show called 'Hollywood A Go-Go" that was around for a year or so in 1964-65. Thank God they recorded the show for syndication so we can still see those great acts from the mid-60s.

  • @EagleRockers I just looked up 9th Street West. It was also hosted by Sam Riddle. The same show perhaps, with a different name?

  • @spencerlmp Sam Riddle (a popular disc jockey in L.A.) hosted a Mon - Fri show called "9th Street West." When that show became a hot local favorite, he was given a Saturday night spot called "Hollywood A Go-Go." Spencerlmp, you sure did your homework. I was a very young teenager when these shows were on but I remember them well. thanks!

  • gli anni più belli.....:-)

  • Writer,Producer and Performer,way back in the '60s-long before "Girl Power"!

  • Now that's the way I remember the way real girls looked. Oh, my wife still looks great dressed in that fashion (style).

  • You can also see those lil chickies dancing on Dee Dee Sharps " Mashed Potatos " damn they're cute, real movers

  • fantastic song

  • you Americans knew how to rock

  • I head the same problem abcdee108. Kinda weird huh?

  • I sure love you, sweetheart!

  • She sang well. Also, I can't forget these few bars from the lead guitar. Whenever you hear them, you can recognize that it is this unique song.

  • Obviously a copycat of Duffy...

  • @lindalealphamale haha thanks for the laugh. I like Duffy too, but she was 45 years late to be copied by Jackie D.

  • Stanzi if you hear this it reminds me of you

  • I saw her on PBS and she is still a dol now as she was then. As for me ? well I turned into an old goat hahahaha

  • I have to watch this before I start the day-should I see someone about it?

  • @abcdee108 Not at all. I keep coming back to it too. I could write a book about why Jackie's talent is so much more than most folks realize.

  • She was real good, more of a trend setter in my eyes.

  • I can feel there's something pounding in my pants. 

  • @FecesHurlingMonkey1 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • How on earth can ANYONE dislike this?

  • @flemingcourt

    People are funny...and some just have no taste! ;)

  • When you walk in the room....

  • I LOVED HER AS A TEENAGER IN THE 60S, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG I GO BACK TO THE GREATEST DECADE OF TIME.

  • Why isn't there some discussion about putting Jackie in the R and R HOF? The songs, the people she wrote and associated with, the performances...

    There are certainly folks in the HOF who had less influence.

  • @Celamim hey the sex pistols are in rock n roll hall of fame . what more do you want. a joke isn't it.

  • French version by Claude François.

  • G R E A T ! ! !

    BRUNNI

    (MYSTERIALS/

    STREET CORNER MEMORIES SHOW)

  • FFFFFFFIN A. Brilliant. Love it. Thank you Jackie.

  • I'm 59 and I loved this song so much,still do.It's from a time when we behaved & dressed like ladies at 13 .I wish we could go back to this innocent time.She is beautiful in this clip & still today! ♥ Thanks shanv79 for this post,precious memories!♥

  • Very strange dance step by Jackie here.

  • It was a short lived dance I believe called the 'Lawson' back in the mid 60's.

  • Hot man hot !!

  • God why could I have been around in the 60's I love this Music. 

  • Ewww How Can 9 People Not Like This. [Didnt Have To Listen LoL] a Most Prominent Talented Singer/Songwriter, Turned Out World Wide Huge Hits For Other Artists, She Sent The Searchers On Their Way With Needles n Pins n Walk In The Room Etc. Shes Left Her Legacy In Music History, nd Rightly So. A True Legend Thankyou Jackie

  • First to hit the charts by the Searchers I believe. But her own version is so good.

  • @MagnussonX Agrees With You Mag Searchers Cover Version Was Tip Top, Rushed Released In uk, Straight To No.1, Had Jackies Been Heard First In uk, I Believe The Searchers Would Have Been Hard Pushed, But I Preferred Jackies Version. Just Whih Gives The Searchers a Lot Of Credit

  • Is there a girl alive today who could do what Jackie and Carol King did---write,arrange,produce,an­d perform music that helped define a generation?And they did it at a time when women were meant to be seen and not heard.These girls were heard big time,all over the world.

  • Possibily the greatest guitar riff in pop history !!!

    ...........Phil Spector, eat your heart out !!!

  • aaww.....nice ..dont hear dis music and charisma anymore..love dis song..and jackie too

  • I am learning to play this song on accordion.

  • Saw the Searchers a couple of weeks ago and their version was great. Still think Jacxkie's takes some beating though.

  • A wicked guitar riff (one of the best riffs of all time...)

  • I just know her winks were meant for only me. gosh how I wish

  • Good art doesn't gets older. I live in Brazil.

  • That little wiggle at 1:13 keeps me up at night!!!

  • Nice with girls that wrote their own songs in those days! Flibberi flabberi bo boo! ;D yep, twist and shout!!

  • I'm at a loss over this video. I stumbled across it by chance and cannot shake it from my mind. I watch this several times a day and study every detail as if my like depended on it. I'm bewitched by every aspect of the whole performance but cannot explain my obsession. Very strange but I have to say, this is the most amazing act I have ever seen. Simply breathtaking.

  • @seangower......so what's your point?? You got to stand in line just the rest of us!!!

  • @seangower It isn't strange. I had the same experience. Your description is amazingly accurate. I've seen the video a million times and it is a fantastic classic song by an amazing breathtaking charming full of class  woman

  • @seangower Honest to God--the same for me. I saw this for the first time about 5 days agao and have watched it as many as ten times a day every day since. Not sure what it is but this video has me unexplicably hooked in no uncertain terms.

  • @marcm9999 same here, bro

  • I believe you have fallen in love with not just a singer but with a wonderful woman.

  • @seangower Word for word, you said exactly how I feel about this too. Watch it over and over, totally entranced. I keep thinking that those people dancing had no idea they were amidst a Great and Haunting performance that would stand the test of Time...

  • @seangower It's weired I find also quite hypnotic

  • Best . Voice. Ever.

  • One of the greatest pop songs of the 1960s....and Jackie wrote it and sang one of the best 2 versions.

  • Love her cute moves!... guess we can call it the 'Deshannon Deshake'... Go Jackie!!!

  • Such a perfect video. So much about the time and the performer -- solid song performed by the composer. I keep coming back here to watch. The dancers, the way she sings "git-ar" (you can take the girl out of the country, but..). No one performs this song like this, and we are the better for it.

  • Im addicted to watching this video. Jackie is magnetic as she laughs her way through the number, and her little slip at the beginning, and her cheeky recovery speaks volumes. She must have been very young when this came out. The Searchers version is still a favorite of mine and, had i not seen this video, i would have preferred their version, but its too late now, i cant go back, sorry lads.

  • my name is jackie(:

  • Verry very good. Brings back fond memories

  • Sweetheart, I was feeling a little down...so I came to see you. ILYJackie!!!

  • While this song is better known as being done by The Searchers, this version also is great to listen to.

  • This us very high on my all time favorites, Love the break in her voice and impeccable timing. This clip is evocative od an almost innocent age. rolereversed

  • @rolereversed I love the song & yeah she is so lovely to look at but it made me laugh when you said 'Impeccable timing' when the 2nd thing I noticed when I 1st see this video (1st being how beautiful she is) is how she went to start singing too early at 7 seconds into the video & you can see her look at someone 'off shot' & you can tell by her expression that she realised what she was about to do & that she mouthed something to that effect.

  • @DavidJHarrisonEssex Actually it looks like she started to lip sing a bar early!

  • I keep watching this clip as well,i know Mike Pender,and John McNally very well and got a sneaky feeling they watch it as well,maybe Frank Allen as well,great singer this girl,i drift back to the fab sixtys when i listen,it's great.

  • Jackie goes way back as a songwriter. She co-wrote "The Great Imposter" for The Fleetwoods in 1961, with the late Sharon Sheeley (1940-2002). Sheeley wrote "Poor Little Fool" for Ricky Nelson in 1958. She was engaged to marry Eddie Cochrane before he died. Sheeley was also married for a few years to DJ Jimmy O'Neill who hosted "Shindig" on TV in the '60s. Great video of Jackie!! Jackie and Sharon also co-wrote Dum Dum for Brenda Lee. Nice to see these videos from the '60s.

  • The sixties - the best decade ever!. The music was just to die for. And good times too; What a great singer she was.

  • I am back for more, I watch this clip all the time. There is something magical about it. If you were going to make a film clip in a sixties style today you would look no further than this one to model it on. It is a pure gem.

  • Amazing video clip, like a breath of fresh air. Jackie had a charmed career, the Beatles, the Byrds, Jimmy Page, Ry Cooder. Thanks to whoever posted this, not just for the visuals but the sound quality is great, just jumps out right at you. Heard her interview on NPR as well, she's a class act. More people need to see this.

  • This is such an incredible clip, I had no idea she was the original writer. I am blown away. I have enever heard of her before. Thank you for opening my eyes.....and ears!

  • Fabulous footage - The number of views and comments speaks for itself.

    Thanks for posting this classic, which Jackie wrote and the Searchers of course famously covered.

    A fabulous song - definitive 60's, with a wonderful catchy tune and doesn't she have a marvellous sense of timing eg .the way she sings "ev-ery time that you ..." etc.

    I so loved it when women presented themselves beautifully like this. Of course it helps when they were as attractive as her :-)

  • Mesmerising! The entire 'sixties' in one perfect package.

  • she is beautiful and she can really sing

  • I didn't know of her before I heard this interview on NPR's Fresh Air program. Worth the listen. Look for it on the NPR web site.

    How the world has changed for women performers.

  • Super and funny too, because her false start in the beginning. I wonder who made the choreographic moves on this. Watch the girl right in front of her at the end. Looks like she has a work out pass. Running at the spot.. The song i wonderful ans so is her voice.

  • Jackie's version is simply the best. Her voice delivers every bit of oomph and passion this tremendous song deserves.

  • Didn't she co-write "Bette Davis Eyes"? great,but underrated songwriter

  • @sps242: She's 'underrated' no more...she was just inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame! :)

  • i was watchin a movie and when it was over i got here wtf

  • She made me want to dance.

  • One of the greatest videos on you tube. GOD this is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for posting!

  • Jackie is great, but it's too bad she really only had those two big hits- What the World Needs Now, and Put a Little Love in Your Heart. She had some other good songs, but nothing else that really stood out on its own. If only Jackie could have had someone like Justin Hayward to write all her songs! What a combo that would be! I feel sorry for all the songwriters and singers who had the talent, but just couldn't quite find the magic in their songs to ever become noticed.

  • @london2z I discovered this song through PAM TILLIS' version, gr8 video as well. But I still love the original version by Jackie the best. Wonderful time for music, to grow up!!

  • I seem to like this version better than all the others !

    what was that band playing in this clip - all grandfathers nowadays nowadays with great grandchildren I expect :)

  • Give the woman her props. To sing what you actually wrote was quite an achievement in the 1960's. I just hope that she held on to the rights of her songs especially since they've been covered by so many other singers.

  • Excellent singer and writer. And very cool sounding.

  • This gives goose bumps, thank-you freind.

  • Musical perfection! What a talent Jackie is! The best!!

  • such a nice song, listen to Agnetha Faltskog's version ^^

  • I love this video, but her "little kicks" are slightly reminiscent of Elaine's dance on "Seinfeld".

  • subtly sexy and fabulous music

  • I Love This Kentucky Girl.

  • Love the way she starts to mime too soon!

  • The Queen of Rock no mistake the best

  • Great video of a great performance. By far the best version.

  • Comment removed

  • a little while back, little steven, on his weekly radio program, said that "tangerine", from zep's third album, was written about jackie...

  • I love Jackie and she is sooo good. I'm really getting to be an old fossil, cuz I remember rushing home from school to watch Hullabaloo, Shindig, and Shivaree!

  • @4everbobby

    From one fossil to another, I hear you. Today's music S U C K S !

  • Good art doesn't gets older. I live in Brazil.

  • Comment removed

  • Great song, & this version is my favorite.

  • Does anyone know who plays that cool guitar riff ? It has to be a 12 string.

  • Rolubar: guitar riff was sampled by the Beatle in What You Doing by George Harrisson. She toured with Beatles & is on record as to haing taught George the rift.

  • She was born in a little town in Western Kentucky and grew up in Illinois. I agree that she was just gorgeous and what a singer. i loved her the first time I saw her back in the 60's Woof!!! I sent an email to her web page a year or so back and told her how we listened to her music on a little record player in Vietnam and she emailed me back thanking me for serving. I fell in love with her all over again.

  • What is her web page ?

  • Comment removed

  • @larrydh2 Now that's an artist who truly loves her fans.

  • @larrydh2 Great comment man

    up most repect for serving in Vietnam :')

    Adam (UK)

  • @iliketravian Thanks for the comment. Vietnam was a long time ago for me. I truly wish we could end all of our wars and get our troops home. We in the USA are always grateful for the support our friends in the UK give us.

  • @larrydh2 Yeah, i like the 'special' relationship our countrys have.

    Us in the UK are also thankfull

    'you scratch my back, and i will scratch yours' :)

  • Del Shannon's version is waaaay better

  • nice

  • I think this was not shown on Hullabaloo. It looks very much like a show called Hollywood Ago go. Anyone else know of this?

  • @bzerbel1  It's definitely HOLLYWOOD A GO-GO from 1965

  • Oh my goodness! My daddy sent this to me and it made me cry! It's so beautiful! Go Jackie!!! I love you!!! :)

  • @SingDanceAct1000 check out "Whats A Matter Baby" by Timi Yuro

  • よく見ると最初間違えてますね

    カワイイですね^^

  • Shake it Jackie! I always LOVED this song.

  • beutiful girl

  • an aside at about 1:33 it looks like the guys are dancing with each other

  • Uhm, no. Those things did not happen in those days, at least not in public,

  • Hello? It's a joke ... operative words: "looks LIKE" perhaps, I should have used "as if"

  • As the previous poster stated - the original and best version. One of the best songs from the 60's. History will judge Jackie as one of the best and most influential artists of the era.

  • Jackie Deshannon was a far away singer in Holland in the sixties. The original and the best version. Thanks for posting.

  • What a woman

  • The original version was released as a single on November 23, 1963 [1] as the B-Side to "Till You Say You'll Be Mine". It was later rereleased as a single A-side in September 1964 (in a slightly sped up mix), possibly to capitalise on the success of the Searchers' version, and later included on the album Breakin' It Up on the Beatles Tour. The single charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.

  • Anybody know the band / who's playing that cool guitar riff ??

  • jackie is the orginal writer of this tune and singer.....many groups have copied her but she is the best singer......

  • I Feel There's Something Pounding In My Pants.

    She looks smoking hot; cool song, Jackie

  • Page's ex-girlfriend?

  • I  was brought up with the Searchers version in the UK, but this just keeps growing on me. She is a great talent

  • DeShannon wrote it and recorded it first. However, the Searchers made such an international hit of it, that Jackie re-recorded it with a mersey beat. Another footnote on how the "British Invasion" although perceived as a threat, benefited American music.

  • So beautiful it actually hurts to look! Wouldn't mean one damn thing though, without her massive talent. Great singer, great writer... Take that Madonna and all wannabe divas.... this is how it is done.

  • quit being old i like her too but madonna is a different style you can't live in the past
