Lady gaga totally bit off 2:38 for poker face, but then again a lot of vocalists use similar runs, as do guitarists. I don't think of them as cliches as much as classic tags, but I wonder if this is the place from which gaga got her tag. Joanie has a beautiful voice.
Was that Frankie Avalon MC'ing? I had the biggest crush on Joannie S when I was a kid. She was, I think 18 & got the contract for singing Pepsi commercials. Loved the voice. Then she came to Pittsburgh for a gig, saw the publicity phots - that was it - I was in luv. Bought her LP's, and singles. And even today in her 60's, she hasn't lost the voice or stage-presence of the past. A true artist - and I admit - my babe! Thank you for uploading. CFN
Superb track - one of the best floaters out there. All I need now for a perfect weekend is for someone to upload Lena Junoff's Yesterday Has Gone. Peace N Rhythm!
@BLITZKRIEG66688 - You're forgetting Peggy March (If You Loved Me) & Nancy Ames (I Don't Want To Talk About It) or Susann Farrar (The Big Hurt) & Susan Barrett (What's It Gonna Be) Soul is soul is soul ;o) KTF
@drwhatson Many people would agree with you but it's not worth arguing about. We're getting to an age where we have to consider the onset of palpitations and gout hehe
@slapmyfunkybass Well, this definitely ISN'T Soul in any shape or form, so I suggest you find out what is, then pass on your revelations to the deluded hoards of ex-Wigan pop fans that seem to infest Youtube.
@AndyGibson1960 Yes, but it fills the dancefloor with ex-Mr.M's mouldering middle-aged divs! I doubt if genuine Linda Jones fans would ever give it the time of day.
Ooops! according to Frankie, that program was Hullabaloo. Thats what I get for speaking off the cuff. Hey, by means of a diversion, have you all heard: Heartaches Away My Boy on Cameo/Parkway by Christine Cooper? Ok, you have? Well then I hope you'd also dance to another intriguing Philly track called: If Thats What You Wanted... by Frankie Beverley & co. We Philadelphians hold our own on the northern scene, however tenuously.
I agree. That's Frankie Avalon intro-ing Joannie Sommers (northern soul legend that she is...) on an American Bandstand spin-off program called: Where the Action Is! I'm a second gen fan of this music, also a Northern fan. My mom danced on Bandstand and was an extra in the Colonial Cinema exodus scene in "The Blob"(Phoenixville PA). Now I'm sounding pretty old...
@dogstoat Not even that I'm afraid. Northern Soul is always better than Northern pop, with a few exceptions that prove the rule. This ain't one of 'em IMO. There are too many genuine Soul sides out there to waste time with the likes of this - assuming one is an actual fan of Soul music in the first place...
Sorry....one more bit from me..........Joanie is a stunner....eyes, hair, style.
However, where does that face pull come from at 2.28. It looks like Joanie has a momentary 'Gurn'....if you freeze it you'll see what I mean.....Scary!
Fantastic 45...I've just bought an Original on Warner Brothers for am arm and a leg.
I love this footage too....however everytime I watch it I am more amazed....how did Joanie manage to keep her feet still all of the way through. It would be easier not to chew a fruit pastille!!!!!!! Could you stand still like that when this was playing????,,,,,,not I.
Originallly telecast on May 11, 1965. Frankie Avalon acknowledges her "Pepsi Girl" persona {Joanie was the vocalist behind Pepsi's radio/TV ads during the '60s} by referring to the last line of her famous "For Those Who Think Young" jingle...
Beside being a great song does anyone make love to the camera like Joanie on this song? When she says she wants to be my girl I think if only it was 64 and I was 12 again or maybe 21. Her big hit Johnny get Angry was being sung to a pitcher in a Little League game at the time. His name was Johnny Cronkite best pitcher in the league with a good curve. My older brother threw me curve balls to get ready and when they sang Johnny I hit a 3 run homer. Thanks Joanie
Don't give so much credit to the Beatles ... They are great, but got lucky as well , I had some great stuff on 78's eg Bill Haley , Chebb Wooley, etc. It was the/a moment in time ! The 45' presses multiplyed and advent of the mass production with those little players in our bedrooms.....London-America records, Fontana, Oriole,Decca, Pye &Stateside made it all an affordable religion....Now we can access almost any song for a very small price.
Oops, wrong aspect ratio. Don't worry, I am gonna add all of Joannie's Hullabaloo performances streaming in the DivX web player with h.264 mkv streaming. That means you can watch this great stuff in perfect DVD quality, with the full quality Dolby audio intact. I'm adding every good performance from every one of the DVD sets. Go to my youtube channel and you'll find a website link to my other channel, for DivX web player streaming. Come one come all. I'm talking about something very special.
This is a PERFECT example of the pre-Beatles image of the 60s. Perfect makeup... guys wearing sports coats... her singing a Burt Bacharach, Hal David wannabe.... I would love to see what Joanie Summers looked like by 1969.
Look at the guys' haircut...still relatively short compared to what it would look like at a later date. The Beatles eventually changed everything from hair style to clothing, but at the time this show aired, rock was still in the Frankie Avalon, Bobby Vee era.
It aired on May 11th 1965. At the time, "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" was number one in the U.S. But the Beatles had the very next number one hit with "Ticket to Ride". The Beatles had 5 number one hits in the US the year this came out. Nobody else did, but the Supremes, Hermin's Hermits, and the Rolling Stones all had multiple number ones as well. The Supremes had 4 number ones, and the Rolling Stones had the biggest song that year, but the Beatles were just unstoppable.
Sadly, Hullabaloo only aired for two seasons in 65-66. If you know anything about classic music, every episode aired smack dab in the middle of Beatlemania! They mentioned the Beatles or covered the Beatles in many of the episodes. In fact, Joannie Sommers, Barbara McNair, and Frankie Avalon sung a wonderful Beatles medley together on this very same episode. Good times, great hits!
Let's read this again... I said "Pre-Beatles image." I didn't say the Beatles weren't popular at the time, but it wasn't until later that a dramatic change in men and women's appearance began taking place. Tie-dye shirts, longer hair, sandles etc weren't mainstream in 1965. When I started college fraternities and sweaters were big..when I came back from Nam in 69 long-hair and social revolution were in.... divide the decade in half...that's all I was saying.
I'm not going to argue with you. The Beatles had already changed everything by then. People had mop tops in '64 and '65. You said they didn't. I'd admit if I was wrong, and clearly made a mistake. It's no big deal. But anyway, I've got to go. I love this babe Joannie, she was classy!
Obviously she has a lot of talent. How the hell else can you lipsynch (no, this is not a comment on lipsynching) perfectly and look into the camera without those guys shooting in and out at you.
@StanBennet This is Hullabaloo! I didn't think they lip-synced. A lot of the time they had the microphone hovering overhead, like on a sitcom or a movie. Maybe they just hid the mic very well. I know you can't see it when they zoom in at the beginning though. It certainly sounds live. I haven't ever heard the record. Unless you're correct, and then I have. I do own the Hullabaloo DVD sets. You know what stinks is that the bastards haven't released the entire seasons, just random episodes!
Wow having only recently discovered 6t's soul on youtube ( I always thought it was for happy slappers and steam trains...plus other things hehe) have enjoyed looking at your clips.
this is a great discovery...do you have Holly Stjames singing that's not love !!! ? (surely Duffy will cover this)
And as for Timi Yuro -I.N.B.O.F.M been described as Pop Then what is Justine Baby Washington's original?? Which most deffinately was categorised in the R&B Section of the store because she was a black artist even though theres not a blues progression in the tune? Yet i suppose thats an improvement on race music which was its former category before Mr J wexler made good effort to change things somewhat! I may be 2 years too late but Timi Yuro not Soul??
Pop classified it may have been but a soulfull record it certainly is? popular i don't think it was for originals are few and far between andfkin expensive,Dont think ive heard this on a radio ever! in fact the only places ive heard it is at soul nights every now and then over the last 30+ years.Why is it just because she's white and not born out of detroit that this song by some is not considered worthy to be a tune to be played amongst the rest,Imagine if H.D&H had written material for her!!!!
It is what it is to each and every one of us which wont be the same as it is to each and every one of us. Long live diversity and uniqueness :) We don't require soul police at all... just love your soul any way you wanna :)
It's POP and has nothing whatsoever to do with soul music, it's like saying that Wigan shaped the UK soul scene, when they were responsible for playing most of this kind of shite dressed up as 'Soul Music'
Oh, and I include so-called 'classics' like Dean Parish among them. Blue-eyed Soul FFS!
@elvingtonred I think you need a dose of syrup of figs because you're obviously constipated Or perhaps you're not getting any from the wife.... However, you're entitled to your opinion whether we like it or not. :-)
My collection of Soul records may be "overpriced and rare" NOW - but weren't when I bought them! (I can't help being way ahead of my time can I?? LOL) Perhaps we need so-called "soul police" occasionally, if only to point out to the younger and musically uninitiated on the scene that records like the above are er, NOT actually SOUL RECORDS at all - or what are they to think when faced with a choice between the above and, say Bobby Womack or Linda Jones??
I thought I knew everything about this era but I have never heard of this song. It is great! I met Joanie in 1991 and she was still very pretty at that time. She has a very unique voice. This is a great song!
The Flip To This Was Jimmy Radcliffe's "My Block" That The Chiffons (As The Four Pennies)And Clyde McPhatter Had Previously Covered And Freddie Ryder Tried Out Too.
hi soulgirl--i see the debate goes on, but they're still more civil here than at missohio83's channel-she finally deleted paul anka's 'eso beso'because some brazilian hoodlums kept arguing that it wasn't a bossanova...
If N Soul didn't embrace records like this it wouldn't be NS just soul. The N Soul scene is unique and I for one wouldn't be without :-
Holly St James, Kelly Garret, Joannie Summers, Chapter 5, Rufus Lumley,Timi Yuro & countless other white "pop" artists. Stranger in my arms excluded from all nighters by the soul police? .. come off it. They may lack a bit of soul but when you're on the floor they sound incredible
Northern Soul didnt embrace songs like this ; Wigan Casino did - you said it all : Holly Pop James ; Chapter (Brass Band) 5 - lacks a bit of Soul - lol -think thats just an slight understatement .
Think you have some way to go to match the taste of drwhatson . Putting this piece of pop music against something like Bill Brandon's "Streets got my Lady" -well there's no comparison is there ; I really must have missed something when I started out at Manchesters Ritz All-dayers back in 78 to have not appreciated Jody Sommers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trainspotting chin strokers, like drwhatson with their vast collections of overpriced "rare" vinyl are dinosaurs, and are thankfully becoming extinct. The rest of us are mature enough to like what we like regardless if the artist is, as in this case, a "real" soul artist or, God forbid, pop.
I suspect that the trouble with most ex-Wigan divvies is the simple fact that they got onto the 'Northern' scene after they saw "Footsie" on TV or read about Wigan in the Sun newspaper, and consequently never really knew what Soul music was... and they apparently still don't know how to define a Soul record other than a simplistic 60s style beat. Sad really. This is lousy pop music - like Abba, but far worse. It has no connection with Soul music at all. Stuff Wigan.
And you're such the soul snob aren't you! This record (and I know my soul tunes) is fantastic. Pop it may be, but it's still a brilliant track. Now go back to stroking your soul-chin :D
Soul girl I dont think I could persuade Mr Herringthorpe to like anything outside of his field of soul !!! lol . I dont want to convince anyone (yourself included)to not stop liking this track , but , people like Mr Herring and his crowd were the very ones back in the 70s who dished out alot of flack to other people over their soul "tastes" . Funny though , they dont like it back .
By the way I do like your "page" and your comments -so if you want me to refrain from using your page here as a sounding board against "our" Wig-un friend I will do .
Thats rich coming from the venue that turned what was left of Northern Soul into a retro and preservation society ; what do you think the Wheel and the Torch were doing between 1969 to 1973- playing old stuff ? No, playing new and cutting edge Soul . I think the other venue down Whitworth street was continuing that broad and rich legacy , whilst the Wig-un brigade were turning the clocks backwards and destroying everything which the Northern Scene stood for.
I wouldn't imagine Russ Winstanley would want to go within 10 miles of the Meccak either. The place where they tried to turn the soul scene into a gay scene.
Oh and Mr Herring -Wigun , lets get one thing straight, I don't chuck out all white singers as non soul singers - check my comments on the Millionaires etc ; however , blatant pop music and the likes of Holly Pop James and this pop act here , ain't anything some of us recognised back then or now . The likes of Russ Winstanley wouldn't and couldn't have got within 10 miles of Whitworth Street back in 1969 at the Wheel or 1977 at the Ritz
oh Mr Herring of Wi-gun faith !!! Patsy Gallant --is a white jazz singer : your surely not comparing this piece of pop music to the jazz funk of Gallant -there is a subtle difference ; although I'm not a great lover of Gallant's stuff if were talking authentic Soul music then I think there's a wide gulf between this pop track and the efforts of Patsy . .
Lady gaga totally bit off 2:38 for poker face, but then again a lot of vocalists use similar runs, as do guitarists. I don't think of them as cliches as much as classic tags, but I wonder if this is the place from which gaga got her tag. Joanie has a beautiful voice.

@TheSoulgirl
What the hell are some of you talking about?
It's POP and has nothing whatsoever to do with soul music, it's like saying that Wigan shaped the UK soul scene, when they were responsible for playing most of this kind of shite dressed up as 'Soul Music'
Oh, and I include so-called 'classics' like Dean Parish among them. Blue-eyed Soul FFS!

My collection of Soul records may be "overpriced and rare" NOW - but weren't when I bought them! (I can't help being way ahead of my time can I?? LOL) Perhaps we need so-called "soul police" occasionally, if only to point out to the younger and musically uninitiated on the scene that records like the above are er, NOT actually SOUL RECORDS at all - or what are they to think when faced with a choice between the above and, say Bobby Womack or Linda Jones??

You're right..........this Joanie Sommers spin isn't classically 'Soul' in the purist sense...............but it's definitely top-class 'Northern Soul'!!!

If N Soul didn't embrace records like this it wouldn't be NS just soul. The N Soul scene is unique and I for one wouldn't be without :-
Holly St James, Kelly Garret, Joannie Summers, Chapter 5, Rufus Lumley,Timi Yuro & countless other white "pop" artists. Stranger in my arms excluded from all nighters by the soul police? .. come off it. They may lack a bit of soul but when you're on the floor they sound incredible

Not a lack of soul. I'd always thought Joanie Sommers was black before today.

Think you have some way to go to match the taste of drwhatson . Putting this piece of pop music against something like Bill Brandon's "Streets got my Lady" -well there's no comparison is there ; I really must have missed something when I started out at Manchesters Ritz All-dayers back in 78 to have not appreciated Jody Sommers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trainspotting chin strokers, like drwhatson with their vast collections of overpriced "rare" vinyl are dinosaurs, and are thankfully becoming extinct. The rest of us are mature enough to like what we like regardless if the artist is, as in this case, a "real" soul artist or, God forbid, pop.
ricardodlm 3 years ago 3
@ricardodlm; think maybe Dr Whatson just has good taste and likes quality Soul - nothing to do with rare or overpriced
Blackpool77 1 year ago
I suspect that the trouble with most ex-Wigan divvies is the simple fact that they got onto the 'Northern' scene after they saw "Footsie" on TV or read about Wigan in the Sun newspaper, and consequently never really knew what Soul music was... and they apparently still don't know how to define a Soul record other than a simplistic 60s style beat. Sad really. This is lousy pop music - like Abba, but far worse. It has no connection with Soul music at all. Stuff Wigan.
drwhatson 3 years ago
And you're such the soul snob aren't you! This record (and I know my soul tunes) is fantastic. Pop it may be, but it's still a brilliant track. Now go back to stroking your soul-chin :D

Soul girl I dont think I could persuade Mr Herringthorpe to like anything outside of his field of soul !!! lol . I dont want to convince anyone (yourself included)to not stop liking this track , but , people like Mr Herring and his crowd were the very ones back in the 70s who dished out alot of flack to other people over their soul "tastes" . Funny though , they dont like it back .

Think Winstanley wouldn't have be entertained anywhere outside his Wig-un venue . A person that brought disgrace to a great scene .
Blackpool77 3 years ago
Thats rich coming from the venue that turned what was left of Northern Soul into a retro and preservation society ; what do you think the Wheel and the Torch were doing between 1969 to 1973- playing old stuff ? No, playing new and cutting edge Soul . I think the other venue down Whitworth street was continuing that broad and rich legacy , whilst the Wig-un brigade were turning the clocks backwards and destroying everything which the Northern Scene stood for.
Blackpool77 3 years ago
I wouldn't imagine Russ Winstanley would want to go within 10 miles of the Meccak either. The place where they tried to turn the soul scene into a gay scene.

Blackpool77 2 years ago
Oh and Mr Herring -Wigun , lets get one thing straight, I don't chuck out all white singers as non soul singers - check my comments on the Millionaires etc ; however , blatant pop music and the likes of Holly Pop James and this pop act here , ain't anything some of us recognised back then or now . The likes of Russ Winstanley wouldn't and couldn't have got within 10 miles of Whitworth Street back in 1969 at the Wheel or 1977 at the Ritz
Blackpool77 3 years ago
O.k Mr Soul77 explain Patsy Gallant, now then we are talking white pop shit there.
herringthorpe 3 years ago
oh Mr Herring of Wi-gun faith !!! Patsy Gallant --is a white jazz singer : your surely not comparing this piece of pop music to the jazz funk of Gallant -there is a subtle difference ; although I'm not a great lover of Gallant's stuff if were talking authentic Soul music then I think there's a wide gulf between this pop track and the efforts of Patsy . .
