does marilee go to winthrop every year I saw her 4th annual r&b and in the sixtys at birch bay it was a huge red barn at the middle entrance or the jog in the main road where the ma pa store was, been so long ago went to birch bay once with a brand new 1968 dodge charger 383 there wasn't any car there that could beat us that weekend BB isn't the same anymore condos and a golf course condo's where the little BB fair used to be :-< from seattle grew up in ballard
Ok, I'm just wondering... who the hell goes to a watch a concert and misses the song due to talking a bunch of sh!t? Have some respect for the singer who is busting her butt to sing the song and STFU! People in the audience talking really messed this up for me. I came here to hear them play/sing.
I once played in a band with the guy who DID write "I love Rock & Roll" (he wrote it for Joan on tour with her.) an uncommonly nice person and a great musician/guitar player, Alan Merrill - the son of a Grammy winning jazz singer, Helen Merrill. Alan also wrote a song that worked well with our band called "Troubleshooter." (The band was Al Friedman's "Troubleshooters," in NYC around the early 90's.)
Why did she ruin her own song. Who cares about bathroom naughty pictures. Yeah this song is about telling a guy you can have me for your pleasures tonight. But it's beautiful and sincere. Lady you are so f/'d up stay home next time you want to make a fool of yourself, and leave your side kick too!
If you are gonna do a song for all to see, by all means, be sincere. She's off key drunk, and obviously not sincere in her actions. This is very dis appointing.
Ok, it's a little sloppy and the blond on the right is a little out of control. It's also steering a bit closer to the style of the PP Arnold version (not necessarily a bad thing). It's still better than Juice Newton's remake.
with all respect, I must say this is an utter mess! I loved the original growing up, but man, I quess some things do not remain the same. I understand she is older now, but that backup singer is aweful, and over singing, and out of pitch. merillee should do this alone. atho merrille looks great for her age. the melody and softness of the song is missing here.
...that's, Barry Curtis of the Kingsmen on lead guitar!
She hasn't performed with the Turnabout's since about '67, has had hundreds of different players and pickup bands, back her up over the last 40 forty years!
How much did she pay the audience to watch this!!!!! Merrilee What Happened to you?? I had you ranked on a pedestal with the late Skeeter Davis as one of the all time greatest women of music!!!!!!
It was kind of an emotional night for her. Jini Dellaccio's 93rd BD party. She took those wonderful pics of Merrilee back in the day. Lots of old friends in attendance and everybody was having a lot of "fun..."!
I was fortunate to see her perform "Angel of the Morning" back in 1981 in Seattle and she was awesome along with her band. She still has what it takes and her voice proves it! Her name will go down in rock history as one of the great performers.
Let me clarify. When I stated that Merrilee " owns " this Song, I neither meant she wrote it or was the first to record it. She is the one that got the big Hit out of it shot it to the Top & appeared on National TV shows with it (Johnnny Cash,etc) & became a National name due to this song. She "owns" it in the same sense that Joan Jett ' owns ' the song " I Love Rock'n Roll " although Joan neither wrote nor was she the first to record " I. L. R.'n R.". Merrilee and " Angel " are forever linked.
She still got it - what a load of laughs and killer attitude. Also - Merrilee did not write the song - it was Chip Taylor - Jon Voight's brother and Angelina Jolie's uncle who wrote it. He also wrote Wild Thing and I think a funny songwriter's lament called "It's a Hundred and One in Cashbox - in Billboard it can't be found and it's number 18 in the record world ratings and going down..."
Are you flipping kidding me ! OF COURSE this is Merrilee's song. Shot it into the National Top Ten back in 1968. Got on various National TV shows when - at the time - TV did not want to acknowledge rock, hoping that it would go away ( with the exceptions of Ed Sullivan and Am.Bandstand). Merrilee has been Rocking Seattle area audiences for 50 years now, we can only hope for another 50. As for the Turnabouts ? - most have scattered to the far winds.
Original release date was in August of 1967, by EVIE SANDS. Her label folded 2 weeks after and everybody jumped on it, Merilee being the first. Weird Al could've had a hit with it, the song was that powerful. It was written by Chip Taylor (Wes Voight). Check Evie's website and you'll see.
Yep. SHE is the lady. She played in Oak Harbor Washington at the Roller Barn. AND she ROCKED the BARN!! Thank you Merrilee for an awesome memory.....my Dad owned the place and we loved her....
This lady did the absolute best cover of this song. Period! Juice was good but this original cover was the one that got me.........where are the "turnabouts"?
