[fossie32]

Yeah baby!!

[henriettadiehl]

great strategy .. thanks for posting .. =)

[inproductiveninja]

I AM THE TABLE

[RitmoNo1]

There's a lot of soul in the way she moves love watching her on this.

[clivedxb]

Matching collars and cuffs?



[megsrockchic30]

SHes so adorable x

[TheMauvetys]

"Un bon mois d'été" in french cover

[astralhed]

@TheMauvetys Sylvie Vartan's cover that you mention is much better

...gosh , what a terrible outfit :P

[TheTwotonic]

always loved this track - great heard in high quality stereo

[Lululiyan]

I'll admit something here,

Thanks to my parents being born from the what you call the "baby-boomer generation", my dad blasting all his 60's music (no lulu though) in the car all the time, me living in a society of us "damn kids these days" in peer pressure, Im one of those teens who was never interested in the songs/artists/people of today. We need more songs about beeing happy, loving someone, something totally random(Beatles) ! We need more people to hear this! And get inspired by it! >:)

[charleywife]

Pure northern soul..

[saintgeorge67]

2months b4 i was born .....

[BeatleBangs1964]

Neil Diamond did the best version, but Lulu's cover is decent.

A Dodge Dart was a very boss car and it was the cooooool car of choice in 1967.

[windsorbays]

0:56 seconds on repeat lol

[saclrpfrl10]

Go LuLu!

Don't take not shit off nobody!

[MsFanmail]

g8 song

[Khultan]

She's really something : ) This is good!!

[DandyLion662]

I do believe that I've got the notion. Great puffy sleeves too.

[418mhzcablefree]

Lulu: McSaucey!

[stingfan1000]

Years ago I lived in California - and it was nice - but I was always homesick for London and Europe and my life there.... I used to drive to work in Palo Alto (and in Half Moon Bay) with this blaring cos for some (strange) reason it reminded me of home. I eventually got back to London.... and I still play it!

[GBPaddling]

AUSTIN POWERS!

[sopranosd]

Look at those cuffs!

[rscmrcmd]

She was so adorable.

[patchoublack]

I very like that song. Just listen to the great work of the organ... Groovy, baby!

[currypot1965]

She's just fucking sexy beyond belief.

[supersondessixties]

Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my  program  " great sound of  60' s "  on the  site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in  rock and roll.

Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.

[vicsmith5000]

One of the best British female pop singers. Her career went totally off the rails when she did that awful Boom-Bang-A-Bang Eurovision rubbish. That was a terrible move. Made her very unhip. Still not sure why she did it. Her voice is awesome though.

[Emmie04]

Lulu was so cute! Great song too!

[Marion133]

shes short :D

[fatpizzaman]

Nice piece of 60's pop, I just got a copy of this song from a friend of mine. It's fab! Neil Diamond is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century - he could make people feel happy and melancholic, and he's always stayed true to where he's come from. You go, Neil! :)

[Rayarena]

To me Lulu epitomized the sixties. She really had that style going!

[polski1910]

I just re-watched the episode of AbFab in which Lulu made a guest appearance. She has not changed much. She has those great cheek bones that make one appear much younger than one is. I would definitely buy you a bottle of champagne, three courses, and a pudding, Lulu!

[jgmacv]

Great version of a Neil Diamond classic!

[Variotronic09]

This is proper pop. Having a rave up and a laugh. So cool. I love the Hammond organ in this.

[pgl0897]

Best thing to ever come out of Scotland.

[kpitt1204]

Lulu is jammin!

[tracegnet]

great voice

[Bakkuba]

A petite little thing was our Lulu! A wee cracker.

[nixonladydi]

you go girl!!!! Love her moves brings back memories of my mother in our living room

[jesse94970]

THIS SONG NEVER AGES

[owsh123]

There is no one like Lulu and this video proves it. She was cool back then and she still is. What a voice !!

[aragorn1959]

wow this is what the 60s was all about-- much better than all the manufactured rubbish girl singers nowadays- Lulu and the 60s - a match in heaven-stunning sexy serene and wish i was back there now!! and heck she still looks ok xx to Lulu for bringing back great moments- ta luv!!

[AMSZ77]

I want a time machine, to take me back to the sixties. Brilliant.

[VABkWrm]

I remember my older sister having the album this was on, and I loved!

[9cochins]

great song and performance. brings back good memorys

[Ivor662]

Love those puffy sleeves.

[hellkammer]

me and you !

[59cadcoupe]

Loved this song in '67! Used to play it loud, tuff beat. Written by Neil Diamond.

[inglegt]

This is fabulously dotty..what an outfit...I wonder what happened to her stylist..."yes, all in black, with two table mats stuck on the end of each sleeve..trust me..you'll look great!"

[texatexa]

@inglegt hahaha ! yes, that's what it was, I gues too.

[retronostalgic]

Here's to the swinging sixties!

[kevsuch]

one of my favourite songs of all time. If your unhappy play this LOUD. Its guarenteed to make you smile. Perfect

[forseti10]

Damn your right

[43zeb]

@kevsuch Agreed! Lulu has such a fantastic voice and does full justice to this Neil Diamond penned classic

[BiggestLuluFan]

the boat that i row <333

[TinaQ1961]

i went to see her in 1972 welington nz m6y dad took me - great

[crassazell]

i adore this song.Always makes me smile!

[corbettle71zj]

Lulu looks like my georgous wife,the haircut is still in fashion,lol

[DavidCKendall]

My favorite Lulu track of all time...They could have given her a few props..like a few dancers, or a guy on the bongos or SOMETHING!..And those sleeves look like she's juggling a few small dogs....But I loves me some Lulu!

[imalovedrunk]

remind me of the morecombe and wise sketch

[gayboylaca]

I have always thought that Lulu is the most amazing singer. I especially love her early songs including "The Boat that I Row," "To Sir with Love," and "Oh Me Oh My."

[Diabolos9]

austin powers?

[echoman123456789]

looks like she would be fun to party with.

[pablocorazon]

Strewth, 1967 , she looks older then than now. Cool song tho'.

[pab70]

Awful. Talent wil out.......

[angelofbebop]

Neat song, thanks for posting Fagozyt.

[Grifiki]

Brenda Lee went Country. Wanda Jackson????? Another Jackson? Will you never give up. I danced Rock and Roll I should know.

[drwinkle101]

Given this powerhouse performance and others, it's bewildering that her singing career's been zombified for decades. Cilla and Sandy fuck off, but Lulu was a great singer.

[Grifiki]

This is Englands. Connie Francis was American. There really only was two female Rock and Rollers. You are what you feel

[jemb2000]

Hmm, I think Brenda Lee and Wanda Jackson have more claim to American female rocker crown.

[7blackbird]

And of course, the monster cuffs steal the show...

[hrpman]

Yep, not short of something to blow her nose on ...

[Kittielips]

What are you like?!!!

You've got my eyes watering with laughter!! Pass us a hanky......

Thank you.

5*****.

[angelofbebop]

Cool blouse!

[shilo507]

Fantastic early Neil Diamond song. Can't believe how many great songs Neil Diamond wrote in the 60s and 70s before he became too Vegas. Nice performance from Lulu!

[cantleysugar]

Those sleeves!!!!!

No soup for Lulu then...

[drwinkle101]

Boy, Lulu in groovy go go carnaby mode. She was still seaworthy in 1993 when Take That's Jason Orange rowed her boat.

[glutubular]

She's just incredible. I'm really starting to wonder if it's possible for performers to have too much talent to make it big. It seems like there's no other explanation sometimes.

[rockchick80s]

Thanks for the share flybreath - OMG thats an old one, a bit of a British Institution is Our Lulu lol

[vonpork]

What a great song sung by a very underated singer.

[derbbus]

She's a Babe!

[Titch0843]

50/60's were by far the best!!!!! XD

love this song!!

funny how they never had a mic, did everyone just assume that the music was live?? xx

[bobgure]

BRILLIANT bass playing mixed really loud on the 45 b-side to "To Sir..."

Man...remember how great those Rock-ola jukeboxes sounded?

Wonderful voice with great control and vibrato.

Still a great underappreciated singer.

Cute too.

[ChrislovesKrystal]

Lulu's really shag-a-delic baby, yeah!!!!

[bufb]

I remember when this song was released

Neil Diamond (who wrote this song) said this was not a women song but should be sung by a man. Lulu sang it better than he did. great rocking song

[belgicasken]

shes cutes ^^

[Peacedove7]

Brilliant. Lulu you have an amazing voice. You could sing anything; in fact I love some of your deep heart searching ballads on some of your old music tracks. Excellent. You, Brenda Lee and

dear Lena Zavaroni have (had) incredible voices.

[130552261254]

das waren noch platten

[RichLN]

I'm not surprised that wearing your frilly knickers on your wrists never caught on though.

[NovusBoy]

Since Absolutely Fabulous, I love Lulu :) :)

[setenteromusic]

Classic 60's song....very good!

[brentbutthead]

Before you go, take me with you. I'll row

[ladyheathermccartney]

Lulu take your boat and row away. Very far away. x.

[retronostalgic]

Hey don't be so miserable. Lulu's cute and a 60's icon and i like this song...

[Dariuspersepolis]

this is fricking hip, and ahead of its time. she is great in 2008. Her CD "together" is brilliant

[davehiggod]

I don't know why, but Lulu really turns me on...

[g0ldbuG]

did she & jimi bang? maybe after his performance in 69 on her show they hit it till they quit it

[ignoblius]

What an outfit. It looks like she's shoplifting doilies.

[GUMMERUP]

Great to hear that again, 41 years ago ! wow! She looks better now though. Keep up the good work Lulu.

[ASTROHOTROD]

After watching several of Marie's (LuLu)videos, I believe she works that camera better than anyone I've ever seen. You are good lady, no doubt about it.

[ASTROHOTROD]

I wouldn't give a damn who was after my EX husband. He's my EX husband. End of story.

Very well said.

[FaerieCrone]

Oh sorry I take all that back. Heather Mills was not really all that well-educated. I just read up on her. According to her bio she was once a shoplifter and a whore. Wow, you must be so proud. Yeah that's really somebody that I would want to pretend to be. What a role model. And Lady McCartney was Paul's late wife, Linda. Even the title she bears is fake.

[ladyheathermccartney]

FaerieCrone. If you feel I am pretending to be Heather Mills then that is up to you. I do not need to pretend. Thank you for calling me a whore and a thief. Its nothing new as the press do it all the time. Im not bothered anymore. I know what I have to do. And yes, I will slag off Lulu because she had a hell of a lot to do with my marriage break down. But that is not your business. All I will say is that Lulu is a rotten piece of work who will get her come uppance one day.

[FaerieCrone]

No it wouldn't be any of our business, but apparantly you feel it is the business of the world because you won't shut the fuck up about it. You're not fooling anybody - and I've reported you to YouTube for pissing all over videos that decent people have been nice enough to want to share with others. All right?

[littlebillysunshine]

you may be the real heather or a random loony. either way you're beneath contempt.

[ladyheathermccartney]

littlebillysunshine you have such a cutie name. I dont care what you call me, but yes, I am Heather. I think I am real anyway. If I am beyond contempt, well the press call me worse things, so I cant complain about you. This is mild. Have a nice day. Heather Mills.

[littlebillysunshine]

to be honest that's such a good reply i'm beginning to develop a grudging respect for you now.

[ladyheathermccartney]

littlebillysunshine Have a Lovely Christmas. speak soon. Love, Heather x.

[vickywaterfield]

Fat Faced Chubbo.

[FaerieCrone]

Incidentally, Heather Mills is not 'Lady' McCartney. Tell me how you gave yourself a title like that. Paul is not a Lord, he's a Knight. He's SIR Paul - that would not make you 'lady', and not even a McCartney anymore.

I also couldn't help noticing your lack of punctuation. Someone as well educated as Heather Mills would have not let that slip and surely wouldn't cheapen herself by slinging mud at Lulu on the internet. So give it up, love, yeah?

[hianda]

The lady who sang this at Karaoke recently was brave, but it came out ok. Great song

[bman342]

This is what I love about YouTube. I just was thinking about this song a couple of days ago, do a search here, and voila.

[Huhoka]

i like it. she has very interesting voice

[COTMushroom]

A girl that knows how to sing.... one of the very best from the 60's

[Beachangel1221]

I've never heard of this person, or the song. I didn't hate it though, considering its from 1967 I don't even mind the clothes. Not bad in my opinion.

[ladyheathermccartney]

Lulu was rubbish then and she is rubbish now. How she keeps this up is beyond me. We must be lacking in talent at the moment if we have to listen to untalented crap.

[FaerieCrone]

And yet...somehow...here you are, watching it. Hmmm.

[ladyheathermccartney]

FaerieCrone. Unintentionally I can assure you. I was looking for sixties music and Madam appeared. Ill have to be careful next time as I dont want nightmares of this horrid bitch. Love, Heather x.

[FaerieCrone]

lol fair enough. She speaks very highly of you though. ;-)

[ladyheathermccartney]

FaerieCrone. I doubt that very much somehow. After all, she is after my ex husband isnt she. Love, Heather Mills x.

[FaerieCrone]

Yeah, alright. You want everyone on YouTube to think you're Heather Mills. Jeez, there's always someone out there who wants to pretend to everyone to be somebody else online. Personaly, speaking as a divorcee myself, I wouldn't give a damn who was after my EX husband. He's my EX husband. End of story.

[7blackbird]

Didn't Eric Morecambe wear that outfit in a sketch in a M and W show, possibly with Diana Rigg, I think - those sleeves!

[IDLERACER]

This was originally the B-side of Neil Diamond's "I Got The Feeling (Oh No No)" single. I like this version better.

[gottogosome]

LuLu looks great but that outfit has too go.

[rickelmonoggin]

eat shit fireblade-KT is the tops!

[fireblade929]

bollox is she, u must be a jock. she cannot compete with this

[rickelmonoggin]

Is Lulu KT Tunstall's mother?

[fireblade929]

kt tunstall is crap,

[WhiteCamry]

Didn't Ringo Starr wear the same suit for his White Album photo?

[rslitman]

This is one of my favorite versions of a Neil Diamond song as sung by a female singer. Maybe even my favorite.

[snufpark]

Yes, it is a Neil Diamond song. But this is not a "version". This is Lulu's hit. Neil was a song writer long before he was recognized as an artist in his own right.

[rslitman]

I don't know exactly when Lulu recorded this song. But Neil's first release of it was on the B-side of his late 1966 hit single, "I Got the Feelin' (Oh No, No)".

[snufpark]

I had that 45 too, released on the UNI label.

In the late '60s when album sales began to sound the death knell of the 45 single Neil's artistry gained a new coherency. Like Carol King (who had also been writing hit songs for years) he was part of a larger phenomenon, for this was the age of the "singer-songwriter".

[rslitman]

Actually, the "I Got the Feelin' (Oh No, No)"/"The Boat That I Row" single was released on the Bang label, where Neil had his first hits. He didn't sign with UNI until 1968.

[snufpark]

I think you're right. Wasn't some of Van Morrison's stuff also released in the US on Bang? As for the UNI label: graphic green swirled into yellow, I think, I'm probably thinking of Two-Bit Manchild. That, and several other records were stolen c. 1968. I remember I got I Got the Feeling/Boat That I Row in a trade for Bobby Goldsboro's Honey. That was a bit of a steal, too.

[rslitman]

Yes, Van Morrison's first U.S. solo hit, "Brown Eyed Girl", was released on Bang, as was his first U.S. solo album, "Blowing Your Mind". And "Two-Bit Manchild", along with its B-side "Broad Old Woman (6 AM Insanity)", was released on UNI in mid-1968.

[fireblade929]

one of my fav tracks, thanks for posting it, dont she look fit there,

[Austin24468]

This is my favourite Lulu song by far. It was written by Neil Diamond. She looks a saucy minx in this video. Still looks good today!

[samothraki1]

she does doesnt she. always fancied her. great legs too. wearing trousers in this video.shame. great song too.

[aine2]

Fabulous!

[yardbirdmackay]

Goodness,this takes me back to 1967 when I saw Lulu(and a whole mass of others)at the NME Poll Winners Concert,she was just as good singing live as she was in the studio,unlike many others from the 1960s.A tie with Dusty,for our finest ever singer.

[grannmo]

love lulu she still looks great long live the sixties
