I remember being on a coach in the 70's at the German-Austrian border at 2am with 35 others singing this song out at the top of our lungs much to the besument of the Border Guards.....I swear they wanted to shoot the Mad English!
Like so many others I fondly remember this from my youth in the early 70s. Also, and I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned, but it was also widely played on the 80s Mod scene. Just as a bit of fun at the end of the night, but it was memories of drunken Mods dancing in a big circle and loudly singing along to this that brought me here! I think it was something to do with the groovy checked trousers! Get well soon Jackie, you brought me a lot of pleasure twice in my life!
I am saorry I have not been responding to the fan mail of late as I have been in hospital and am now recovering from a heart ailment. I am getting better and stronger with each passing day. I would like to wish you a very Happy Successful and Heathy New Year to you and all my fans.
@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie. I'm very sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope you are resting and make a speedy recovery. I know I speak for myself and all your fans in wishing you my very best wishes and hope that 2012 is a healthier year for you. Take it easy Jackie... and keep on taking the tablets! Hope to see you bouncing back in no time.
@paulreno1 Hi Paul, thanks for your kind thoughts. I am well on my way to feeling more like myself. I get stronger everyday and yes I am taking loads of meds., and am now running around like a blue a$@#d fly. lol.
@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie. That's great to hear you are feeling a little better. Hope you keep going from strength to strength. If you are feeling like a blue a**** fly better wipe your feet before you put them up!
@TheHumbuckerboy Yes that's correct. She sang many TV songs. She had a successful recording career too. Jackie often comments on this page. She's a very nice lady.
@paulreno1 Thanks for your reply.Yes I see that Jackie sang a number of theme songs including 'Pipkin's' etc.'White Horses' would be her greatest performance that I am aware of ,being very evocative and unique.Another brilliant theme song was/is the theme song to 'Belle and Sebastian'.
@TheHumbuckerboy I am so sorry for being out of commisiion this while back. I am now in recovery and feeling great. I want to thank everyone profusely for sending me such endearing comments, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
@MsJackieLee It was wonderful to receieve your message this morning ,definitely a nice start to 2012 ! Your vocals here are melodic, happy and joyous .My personal favourite is 'White Horses' which is ,dare I say it , touching on genius .I pray that God will bless you with your health and in your life this coming year.
I hope you are well and merry xmas to you.just to let you know we had a son just over 14 months ago and we have named him rupert ,and his middle name is bear!, he is a most handsome boy and full of character .i will post hopefully a picture to you if you have website ,we live in the highlands of scotland ,we are haveing one of the mildest xmas on record but very windy.regards phil
@tigertruckerman Hi there Phil, I am so happy for you to have had a healthy and happy baby boy. I must say I love your choice of naming him Rupert not because of my record it has always been a favourite name of mine.Say a big hello the the highlands for me.
it's amazing that such a basically twee song for a real kiddies tv programme can be done in such a cool, trendy way and still work perfectly on both levels. can't really imagine any singer of the modern day being able to pull something like this off.
@MsJackieLee Without being aware your singing voice has stayed with me from my childhood. Firstly I have a vivid memory of White Horses as a child and when I found this I realised the connection. If you go to golddalek1961 you will see a video that shows the impact of your music on us all. We play this regularly and chose to play it instrumentally. We've had requests for "Rupert" as well. Thanks for making us all young again. :)
@golddalek1961 Thanks a whole bunch for you comment. I will indeed have a look at the link you sent me I am sure it will be very interesting. It is wonderful for me to be remembered in such a lovely way and I thank you for that.
wow i just been listing to the rupert and also the white horses theme both quality and fantastic i loved them years ago and will enjoy for a long time to come.
@triumphcam1000 I am quite amazed myself that these two recordings are still remembered by so many people such as youself. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make such a nice comment.
Thank you so much for your comment. Yes there were some rotters out there and there were some very good managers and agents, however, one had to be very selective in the the choices we made. I learned that a little too late and as you say I have my fans, over a million wonderful fans, so really, I am very lucky. Thanks for your concern.
@MsJackieLee I hated it when I had to start going to school and therefore missing Rupert every Wednesday. I love your dancing as if you were a puppet on a string :-)
please excuse me for cheering myself up by visiting this link once or maybe 5 times a week lol. and yes i remember watching the news in the 80's about how most artists throughout the 60's were ripped off with bad Dodgy managers and also being cheated out of thier royalties. atleast you have your fans. :).
@MrDjc1970 Oh! you are a darling, thank you for that. Yes indeed my fans make up for everything that I lost money wise, as they say money isn't everything and I am living proof of that..
Jackie Lee has a lovely singing voice, even as a child would stop to listen to the the song, nice to hear it again, if you read this Jackie, I hope you are very well, & thank's for cheering people up.
No. Just a letter or two. My Christmas wish list is growing. Kath Jenkins, (got them all on other CD's - don't you hate it when people do that), Kate Bush, her cousin, Metaphorest, (absolutely brilliant) and Jackie Lee's CD's. Now what about "Dear Mr Pye. I asked Santa for four things, but he says that he can only do three because you won't give him the other one to give me". (I'll pretend to be eight. Adds more weight to the letter)
@GigglingJester No it's not naive - it is the real Jackie Lee who visits this. She is a really nice person with a beautiful voice and always answers any questions you may have. Many celebrities these days wouldn't give a rats ar** about their fans.
Come on Ms Lee, you know you can do it. Loads of 40 somethings need you more than ever now. "In the bleak midwinter" and all that!!. Save us from another Cliff Richard record at Christmas PLEASE. I'm sick of mistletoe and wine and it's only September!!..
Could I bully Pye records for you?.. If they tell me that there is no demand for it, I could always say that I'm demanding it, as are many others.
@Wayne74566 Please pretty please you can and bully Pye anytime you want to and tell them I agree with you, and while your at it please have a go at Universal to rerlease a White Horses Album as they own enough of my recordings to do just that. Sorry I have not been on line of late as have been away cruising for a couple of weeks haveing a ball might I say.
Jackie is a truly multi-talented gem of a lady who deserved more recognition for the legend that she is.I have just rediscovered Jackie after all these years having recently purchased her two Cds.Happy memories of a long forgotten childhood that will remain in my heart forever.Thanks for the wonderful memories,Jackie!
In the word of that annoying dog on the insurance advert. "Nooo". Doris Day is topping the charts for heavens sake. Side A, "Rupert". Side B - "White Horses".Tell Pye it's already on one Christmas list So that's Christmas Day sorted. In no particular order. Your good self on the turntable. Kate Bush, - new album out soon, and Katherine Jenkins. A veritable smorgasbord of talent before I incinerate the turkey and murder "Silent Night" on the banjo!. Seriously, think about it.
@Wayne74566 Ha Ha Ha Ha, thats the best laugh I have had all day in reading your message. I must say it woud be nice to have Rupert and White Horses re-released, however I dont think I'll start counting my royalties just yet, more's the pity.
@Wayne7456 Ask the powers that be "Pye Records" they will most likely say that records are not selling these days and we may lose money in doing so. Thanks for asking.
@MsJackieLee The powers that be tend to not invest much money in promotion, unless they are guaranteed instant profits. I'd love to see you riding high in the charts though Jackie. I could fulfil my dream of being a JL Groupie!
@paulreno1 Hi Paul, I would love to be riding high yet again in the charts. Not because I recorded White Horses and Rupert and about another 80 recordings on top, I still think that with all of the requests and fan mail I get that those two titles would sell like mad especially at Christmas time. I also think that there are a hell of a lot of idiots working in the wrong places. It would sure be nice to have some groupies again with you heading them up, Ha Ha Ha
@MsJackieLee We tend to forget about your other work. Those studio tapes must be sat in some vault, gathering dust. As there are over 94,000 views on this alone, there are enough fans to make a worthwhile release... and for me to get some "I love Jackie Lee" T-Shirts printed!
@paulreno1 If there are any more tapes out there I am sure that Steve Panter who designed my web site would know all about them.. He has a vast catalogue of most of my work that he has purchased from all over the world. He has been just a wonderful fan for many many years. If one takes into account all of the fans who have watched the videos I think it is close to one million and thats a hell of a lot. I also love the idea of a Jackie Lee tee shirt..
@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie, did you ever work with Joe Meek? I think your "Town that I live in" ( My fav of yours) has that Joe Meek sound to it, I just wondered if you had dealings with him.
@paulreno1 You are right, as one of my dearest fans found quite a few in the archives of Abbey Road. I had no idea they had kept them. I am sure there are some more hidden away in some other studio. Although most of the ones I recorded in are now closed mores the pity. Thank you for your interest. I would love if the powers that be "Universal" were to release a new White Horses CD as they now own possess most of my 80 recordings.
@MsJackieLee Do you have any rights from your recordings? Or did you do the session and only were paid for that work. Also another question - did you overdub and harmonize with yourself on a lot of them? They sound great, even today.
@paulreno1 I own the rights to most of my recordings if you mean royalties from record companies. Yes I did indeed do all of my own harmonies. I've always loved harmonizing. It was my idea to do it on White Horses and I think it worked out well. Thanks for noticing.
@MsJackieLee Thank you for answering Jackie. Yes, I did mean the royalties. You must hate YouTube - as you won't get paid for anything that's uploaded here! Pity, because there are many fans of your music out there. It shows by the amount if interest your recordings bring. White Horses does sound good - and with you on there twice makes it doubly great! You should get paid for your main vocals and your harmonizing as well! That would be a nice little earner!
@paulreno1 Hi Paul. thank you for clarifying. The amount of royalties are minimal as the contracts we signed at that time were a laugh, if w hade only known. the record companies still haveus over a barrel, shame on them.
@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie. At the time, did you ever think your recordings would stay in the Public's mind for such a long time as they have? You have a large following of fans today. And your songs have stayed with us - etched in our memories from growing up. I suppose at that time you were working on the songs the companies didn't negotiate on the royalties.
@paulreno1 Hi Paul, I am so thrilled at this time of my life to have such a vast following, it truely amazes me and I love every minute of it. They did negotiate royalties of a rather small nature. Except of course White Horses where I was diddled out of my royalties by an unscrupulous person till I investigated it and was then paid only in the last couple of months royalties by Universal but they by law could only go back 6 years. Story of my life.
@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie. That's a real shame you have missed out on so many royalties - and can only go back 6 years! You have missed out during all of the other years of not getting anything at all. And "White Horses" was one of the most commercially successful recordings of your career. Your voice is very recognisable and a joy to listen to. Somehow those songs just never seem to age.
@paulreno1 You can say that again. A lot of other artists have gone throught same as I. I was not too smart when it came the business side of my career at that time, much to my chagrin. However I learnt a little too late.
@Brrykvn Sorry, no, with apologies to the OP I will try to explain my point. I too have fond memories of being a child in the 1970s. But that is because I was a child and had good parents who cared about me. The blackouts may have been great fun to the average 5 year old (including me) but they were not great fun for the adults who lived through them. They were not great fun for the hospitals who were struggling to keep people alive. Enjoy your childhood memories but put them in perspective.
@johnny2o2o............. Now now boys. I think that memories are such a personal thing and if a song or whatever brings back a happy memory of somebody's childhood I dont see the harm in that. I am also sure that most parents who went through those dark times will remember a song or a tune that brought them a little happiness
This song has been with me for the best part of 46 years and was partly responsible for starting my Rupert collection. Going home from school for dinner and watching Rupert made the afternoon sessions go that little bit better.
Thank you for posting the video Paul and a Big Thank you to Jackie for the beautiful song.
@mawrupert1 You are welcome. It was a great show and I fondly remember it, and the lovely song from Jackie Lee. I think they should have kept the original song when they remade it.
@mawrupert1 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I in fact was sent a replica of the original Rupert by a dear fan of mine and it now sits on my dresser in my bedroom and I say goodnight to him each night, Wasn't I the lucky one to be able to record the title song.
@johnny2o2o There have been wars in every decade, I'm not denying that. But for me, growing up in the 70's bring back happy memories, especially this song.
@paulreno1 for sure paul, I have good memories of the 70s too, and I always loved this song as a kid. I just think that maybe today is not as bad as you seemed to imply. BTW thanks for posting this - I didn't immediately realise you were the poster.
Jackie Lee I think your a good singger and I also use to watch Rupert when I was younger and my wife did although she is alot younger than me and I liked the song you did "White Horses" you can reply to me personally if you wish jackie as I am on MSN as well maybe we could have a Live Chat via M.S.N
@doug220766 when you comment jackie lee - can you if possible send a message to me via my youtube inbox thanks very much - laughing out loud - i didn't want every 1 to see i tried to see if my test went to my inbox - oh dear never mind :o)
@doug220766 Hello Doug, I afraid I am not very accomplished on the computer. So if you would like to send your comment to my inbox it would be much easier for me.
@tukoramerez I am afraid I have to agree with you. Children seem to be growing up before their time and thats a great shame. I do think that most of the blame goes to the media, although I also think that parents should have more control over what their children watch.. I know it must be very hard for parent in these days to cope with what is happening all around their children. Thank you for your comment.
Oh my goodness! Ms JL! So lovely to see you on here, you already know how much happiness and looking back wistfulness you bring with this and White Horses, so I won't bang on about it... but thank you so very much. Buggar, am welling up now myself! Bloody power of music eh? By the way, check out the band Puressence, and the song Pallisades.........totally sampled Rupert in it. Hugs to you JL x
Do you know how many 40 somethings still get a tear in their eye when they hear "Rupert" & "White Horses" ?
I'm sure with the thousands of comments you've had you must realise how much these two songs mean to so many people. When you reach 47, you sometimes yearn for your childhood again. If you you close your eyes and listen to either of these two songs you are there again....briefly....but definitly there again.........and for that 2/3 minutes youre 8 again, and it's lovely. Thank you.
@JohnnyLovepants Hi Johnny what a lovely nostalgic comment, I do know what you mean and I often would like to go back to those times myself, if only. Thank you so much for your comment.
Brings back good memories. Beautifully sung...I play this regularly to my 11 month old daughter who dances her heart out to it!! Bring back Rupert to TV
@swimmerdavid40 I would just love to see that little darling dancing to Rupert it must gladden your heart. Thank you for sharing that comment with me.
Wow huge wave of nostalgia just washed over me ! I vividly remember watching this when off from school suffering from chicken pox ! (seem to remember being made to eat copious amounts of chicken soup too yuck !) Much as I loved this and many others of the time it has to be said that it was the multi talented Jackie Lee theme songs that really made them. Thanks for the sweet memories
@Mikeaa1970 Chicken Pox, yuck. I had that too. I think most children had it in those days. I thank you for you lovely comment and am humbled by your words.
Such joy.....my partner have started singing this song to our dog. Lol. She is such fun 2 just like Rupert. Playing games and having fun with her friends.
Every time I watch "Rupert", I think of this song... (And my mum had a dress like this - 'charming hostess' dress circa 1972 or so...) Of course there were that song about a wedding and 'Just Like a Man', but I also seem to remember something like "I've Gotta Be With You" but Jackie Lee, too...
@shmuli9 You are right on all counts. The frock as we used to call them was a multi coloured silk number and I thought it was lovely when I bought at a very chic boutique on Baker Street. On viewing it now I think how could I have worn such a dress (frock) I should have had my head tested,lol. Thanks for your comment I laughed at the circa 1972.
i love her music it brings back so many wonderful memories of me and my best friend loveee 41 yrs we have been friends and we loved singing this and white horses thank you jackie xxxxx
Jackie Lee Never got the True Recognition her Magical Voice Desserved ! Matched Only by The late Karen Carpenter. Although, I think Jackie has the edge regards versatilty in different musical styles . Both her Top ten Hits Deserved to be Number One's Thank You for posting & Jackie for Singing !!
@xenapgf Well thank you for the wonderful accolades. I must say I enjoyed all of my recording career. I think I must have spent three quaters of my career in the recording Studios. Not only was I a soloist, I also did a lot of backing for other artists of that time. So I was a very busy young lady. Thank you for your interest.
Hi Taz. Yes it was a different age. You could play outside without a worry. Parents were happy for their children to be playing and didn't fear for their safety. Also the TV programmes were something all the family could sit down and watch. And without video/sky recorders you had to be in to watch your favourite programme at the time it was shown. Memories of a different age. Even the power cuts were fun!
@paulreno1 You're joking?! Does Doctor Who & Terror Of The Autons ring any bells?! Such violent tea-time horror, not to mention other DW episodes that all the family could sit down to watch!
@paulreno1 - in fact I believe there were more murders of children in the 1960's than there are now. Brady and Hindley and so on. Parents are paranoid now.
@doubledeckers Although you seem to have your facts right, I still would be paranoid if I had children in this day and age. Think of all the other sick indivuals that are out there. I was lucky when I was young, although there were a few strange people they were few and far between.
@paulreno1..hi how are you...i tried to explain to my own children how we had everything but nothing back then... no computers no play stations no mobiles nothing like that at all. but what we did have was respect for our elders , manners and freedom to be able to play outside with out any fear. none of this political corectness. or health and safety nonsence. just happy days.....
i used to run home from school every lunch time with my gran to have my boiled egg and watch rupert. then cry my eyes out when it finished. and im now doing it again thinking about the good old days when i didnt have a care in the world... THANK YOU
@TheTaz1999 I know what you mean. The world was a different place back then - it seemed safer. And you are right, not having a care in the world. Only three TV channels and the only way you could record the programmes was with a cassette player near the speaker! Happy memories.
@paulreno1 The world is not a lot different now, it's just that we have far more interference from the state which will carry on unless we all decide to tell them to feck off.
@paulreno1 I am 45 years old and I remember this. I loved this theme song and still do. I remember the days of the cassette recorder by the speaker and no one could speak or it would come out on the recording. They were the best days of my life. The world was a much better place then even with the power cuts. They are great memories.
@Davewise1965 I remember those cassette recorders they were the greatest thing since sliced bread in those days. Life did seem a better place, or is it because we didn't have a care in the world, our parents had all the worries. Whatever it was, I still miss that time in my life. Thanks so much for your comment.
this song was a "bin it or spin it" on my local radio staion this afternoon "radio norfolk" i phoned in to say spin it as i remember buying it 40 years ago. i also bought "white horses" which was also by jackie. i wonder where she is now?
@phil13ncfc Where am I? If you must know I'm still alive and kickin. I want to thank you for requesting my Rupert reecording to be played on Radio Norfolk, if you speak to show host again say a big thank you from me. By the way thank you for buying both records.
@phil13ncfc Jackie is definitely here. And she kindly comments on the footage and any comments you have, on this video. Check out the replies on the comments here. She's a really nice person - which you don't often see. And of course a voice like an angel.
@MsJackieLee You are welcome Jackie. Some Entertainers wouldn't dream of commenting on YouTube. I would have loved to be one of your "groupies" back then!! I guess you'll always be fondly remembered for your beautiful renditions of all of those TV shows. They are timeless.
@phil13ncfc Hi there, I am still in the land of the living and hope to be here for a very long time to come. I now live in BC Canada. However my heart still lies in the UK. Thanks for asking and thanks a lot for your comment.
I love the old cartoons. Like for example theres: rupert bear, a busy world by richard scarry, little bear, kipper(maybe not as much?). Those old cartoons are classics. Like disney is good and all. Don't get me wrong. I love disney. But when I watch these cartoons I always get this weird feeling like Iam in them. Sometimes I feel like Iam in a log cabin(I like log cabins. rofl). I feel that those cartoons have a strong power to cheer you up.
If I'm not mistaken, Rupert the Bear was shown on Wednesday lunchtimes when I was at primary school. I remember rushing home for lunch to watch it and I always loved the fantastic title song.
A shame the original Rupert the Bear TV show is not available on DVD
@stubroon I tend to agree with you about the original not being on DVD. I have no idea why not. I also think it a shame that the original song which was written for the original Rupert series is not being played for the new Rupert series. I have no idea why that has happened either.
Oh Jackie! just had a good cry at this song..reminds me of dancing round to it with my godson, ( who's 42 now) he knew all the words at two! also loved your White Horses, takes me back to my teens! you might like to know Liza Tarbuck played it on radio 2 on Saturday, and said all ladies of a certain age would have a tear in their eye, and I did...where did all those years go?
@LadyGmarilyn Thank you for those lovely memories, Yes I heard that Liza played the record recently. I myself cannot believe that my recordings of Rupert and White Horses are still being played to this day. I am truely flattered to say the least.
@Dimunic Then why if I am not the real me would I take time answer all of the comments that are sent to me not only on this video but many many more. Believe it or not I am still alive and kicking and now abide in BC Canada.
@MsJackieLee Because, you are probably a poser. :V Just saying. Ived had alot of people pose as celebrity stars. Such as hannah montana, nick jonas, etc. If I recalled; my friend said he was talking to one of them. SO either make a video and say you are the real jackie lee, stating your name. And stating the videos comment and proof you are her. So yeah. lol
@Dimunic Oh dear not you again, Why dont you send an email to these three wonderful fans who I have personally met to confirm what I am saying is true. The first being---smrpanter@hotmail.com he designed my web----Andy, Thewhitehorses@hotmail site. ..... Or highlightvideo@google.com, a wonderful fan who designed The Busker channel for me and also many more Jackie Lee channels. If you dont believe them then you wouldn't believe it if you and I were was face to face .
@denpunk666mitsos Lol shut the fuck up kid. You barely know me. Talk about yourself first and point out your flaws before you try to point someone elses flaws.
@MsJackieLee , beautiful voice miss lee, loved the bear as a nipper , in fact this is my phone ringtone ....sad eh,still got the vinyl record in perfect condition the lad himself tattooed on my arm xxx
@meladben A tattoo of Rupert, imagine that, it must look awsome. I had no idea that you could get it on a phone ring tone, thats interesting. You certainly love your Rupert and I love him too as he was very good to me.
No matter how old i will be this takes me back to a time when tv and the world was to me innocent thank you for bringing back a time when to me the world was full of good music good tv and well good i remember white horses with the same affection the long summer school holidays sheer magic
Great stuff indeed......Huge melodies and superb vocals....I'm in a horrible Black Metal band but you just have to dig the catchy 60's melodies on loads of TV themes...I was very very young when Rupert and White Horses were on TV in the 70'S but they left a lasting impression...Pity TV themes are so nondescript these days... ..Jackie Lee has a truly wonderful voice...

I still have a couple of my old Rupert books from the 1970's, but I don't recall the series at all (if it was on ITV, that's why - to this day I rarely watch ITV)
The song, however, is unforgetable. We all used to sing it back then :)
Lovely to see the lady behind the lovely voice. Also, the 'Barbarella' song sounds great. I'll check that out again soon :)
I remember being on a coach in the 70's at the German-Austrian border at 2am with 35 others singing this song out at the top of our lungs much to the besument of the Border Guards.....I swear they wanted to shoot the Mad English!
DonRakPhoto 4 days ago
Like so many others I fondly remember this from my youth in the early 70s. Also, and I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned, but it was also widely played on the 80s Mod scene. Just as a bit of fun at the end of the night, but it was memories of drunken Mods dancing in a big circle and loudly singing along to this that brought me here! I think it was something to do with the groovy checked trousers! Get well soon Jackie, you brought me a lot of pleasure twice in my life!

@TheHumbuckerboy Yes that's correct. She sang many TV songs. She had a successful recording career too. Jackie often comments on this page. She's a very nice lady.

@paulreno1 Thanks for your reply.Yes I see that Jackie sang a number of theme songs including 'Pipkin's' etc.'White Horses' would be her greatest performance that I am aware of ,being very evocative and unique.Another brilliant theme song was/is the theme song to 'Belle and Sebastian'.

Happy New Year to you and yours.

it's amazing that such a basically twee song for a real kiddies tv programme can be done in such a cool, trendy way and still work perfectly on both levels. can't really imagine any singer of the modern day being able to pull something like this off.

@MsJackieLee Without being aware your singing voice has stayed with me from my childhood. Firstly I have a vivid memory of White Horses as a child and when I found this I realised the connection. If you go to golddalek1961 you will see a video that shows the impact of your music on us all. We play this regularly and chose to play it instrumentally. We've had requests for "Rupert" as well. Thanks for making us all young again. :)

Thank you so much for your comment. Yes there were some rotters out there and there were some very good managers and agents, however, one had to be very selective in the the choices we made. I learned that a little too late and as you say I have my fans, over a million wonderful fans, so really, I am very lucky. Thanks for your concern.

I asked Santa for four things, but he says that he can only do three because you won't give him the other one to give me". (I'll pretend to be eight. Adds more weight to the letter)

In the word of that annoying dog on the insurance advert. "Nooo". Doris Day is topping the charts for heavens sake. Side A, "Rupert".

Kate Bush, - new album out soon, and Katherine Jenkins. A veritable smorgasbord of talent before I incinerate the turkey and murder "Silent Night" on the banjo!. Seriously, think about it.

@paulreno1 Hi Paul, I would love to be riding high yet again in the charts. Not because I recorded White Horses and Rupert and about another 80 recordings on top, I still think that with all of the requests and fan mail I get that those two titles would sell like mad especially at Christmas time. I also think that there are a hell of a lot of idiots working in the wrong places. It would sure be nice to have some groupies again with you heading them up, Ha Ha Ha

@MsJackieLee We tend to forget about your other work. Those studio tapes must be sat in some vault, gathering dust. As there are over 94,000 views on this alone, there are enough fans to make a worthwhile release... and for me to get some "I love Jackie Lee" T-Shirts printed!

If one takes into account all of the fans who have watched the videos I think it is close to one million and thats a hell of a lot. I also love the idea of a Jackie Lee tee shirt..

@MsJackieLee Do you have any rights from your recordings? Or did you do the session and only were paid for that work. Also another question - did you overdub and harmonize with yourself on a lot of them? They sound great, even today.

@paulreno1 I own the rights to most of my recordings if you mean royalties from record companies. Yes I did indeed do all of my own harmonies. I've always loved harmonizing. It was my idea to do it on White Horses and I think it worked out well. Thanks for noticing.
Jackie Lee.
MsJackieLee 3 months ago
@MsJackieLee Thank you for answering Jackie. Yes, I did mean the royalties. You must hate YouTube - as you won't get paid for anything that's uploaded here! Pity, because there are many fans of your music out there. It shows by the amount if interest your recordings bring. White Horses does sound good - and with you on there twice makes it doubly great! You should get paid for your main vocals and your harmonizing as well! That would be a nice little earner!

@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie. At the time, did you ever think your recordings would stay in the Public's mind for such a long time as they have? You have a large following of fans today. And your songs have stayed with us - etched in our memories from growing up. I suppose at that time you were working on the songs the companies didn't negotiate on the royalties.
paulreno1 3 months ago
@paulreno1 Hi Paul, I am so thrilled at this time of my life to have such a vast following, it truely amazes me and I love every minute of it. They did negotiate royalties of a rather small nature. Except of course White Horses where I was diddled out of my royalties by an unscrupulous person till I investigated it and was then paid only in the last couple of months royalties by Universal but they by law could only go back 6 years. Story of my life.
Jackie Lee.
MsJackieLee 3 months ago
@MsJackieLee Hi Jackie. That's a real shame you have missed out on so many royalties - and can only go back 6 years! You have missed out during all of the other years of not getting anything at all. And "White Horses" was one of the most commercially successful recordings of your career. Your voice is very recognisable and a joy to listen to. Somehow those songs just never seem to age.
paulreno1 3 months ago
@paulreno1 You can say that again. A lot of other artists have gone throught same as I. I was not too smart when it came the business side of my career at that time, much to my chagrin. However I learnt a little too late.

johnny2o2o 5 months ago
@Brrykvn Sorry, no, with apologies to the OP I will try to explain my point. I too have fond memories of being a child in the 1970s. But that is because I was a child and had good parents who cared about me. The blackouts may have been great fun to the average 5 year old (including me) but they were not great fun for the adults who lived through them. They were not great fun for the hospitals who were struggling to keep people alive. Enjoy your childhood memories but put them in perspective.

@johnny2o2o............. Now now boys. I think that memories are such a personal thing and if a song or whatever brings back a happy memory of somebody's childhood I dont see the harm in that. I am also sure that most parents who went through those dark times will remember a song or a tune that brought them a little happiness
too. I know for a fact my parents did.

Hi Taz. Yes it was a different age. You could play outside without a worry. Parents were happy for their children to be playing and didn't fear for their safety. Also the TV programmes were something all the family could sit down and watch. And without video/sky recorders you had to be in to watch your favourite programme at the time it was shown. Memories of a different age. Even the power cuts were fun!

Don't get me wrong. I love disney. But when I watch these cartoons I always get this weird feeling like Iam in them. Sometimes I feel like Iam in a log cabin(I like log cabins. rofl). I feel that those cartoons have a strong power to cheer you up.

Oh Jackie! just had a good cry at this song..reminds me of dancing round to it with my godson, ( who's 42 now) he knew all the words at two! also loved your White Horses, takes me back to my teens! you might like to know Liza Tarbuck played it on radio 2 on Saturday, and said all ladies of a certain age would have a tear in their eye, and I did...where did all those years go?

@LadyGmarilyn Thank you for those lovely memories, Yes I heard that Liza played the record recently. I myself cannot believe that my recordings of Rupert and White Horses are still being played to this day. I am truely flattered to say the least.

@Dimunic Then why if I am not the real me would I take time answer all of the comments that are sent to me not only on this video but many many more. Believe it or not I am still alive and kicking and now abide in BC Canada.

@MsJackieLee Because, you are probably a poser. :V Just saying. Ived had alot of people pose as celebrity stars. Such as hannah montana, nick jonas, etc. If I recalled; my friend said he was talking to one of them. SO either make a video and say you are the real jackie lee, stating your name. And stating the videos comment and proof you are her. So yeah. lol

@denpunk666mitsos Lol shut the fuck up kid. You barely know me. Talk about yourself first and point out your flaws before you try to point someone elses flaws.

@meladben A tattoo of Rupert, imagine that, it must look awsome. I had no idea that you could get it on a phone ring tone, thats interesting. You certainly love your Rupert and I love him too as he was very good to me.

Great stuff indeed......Huge melodies and superb vocals....I'm in a horrible Black Metal band but you just have to dig the catchy 60's melodies on loads of TV themes...I was very very young when Rupert and White Horses were on TV in the 70'S but they left a lasting impression...Pity TV themes are so nondescript these days... ..Jackie Lee has a truly wonderful voice...

@bahn667 Well thank you so much for your delightful comment. I do agree with you about the nondiscript music
written for TV, especially childrens series. There is not one tune I could hum or remember the lyrics of, they are all so unmemorable.

I still have a couple of my old Rupert books from the 1970's, but I don't recall the series at all (if it was on ITV, that's why - to this day I rarely watch ITV)
The song, however, is unforgetable. We all used to sing it back then :)
Lovely to see the lady behind the lovely voice. Also, the 'Barbarella' song sounds great. I'll check that out again soon :)
