This is one great song and the other side of this 45 is just as good. I have thousands of 45's but I cannot think of another 45 release that had two sides that were so exceptional.
Sharon't first song, Poor Little Fool, Rick Nelson's #1 hit, was written about her relationship with Don Everly. It was written after Don's brother, Phil Everly, told Sharon that Don was married. Sometimes, something creative comes from what is a heartache at the time. She was such a talent in her own right with many songs to her credit.
Holy Moley! Look at that line-up of studio aces! Yes, as a huge Jackie DeShannon fan, I am aware of the importance of Sharon Sheeley. All these great underrated artists. Thank goodness there are compilations available. That particular L.A. coterie, one of many -- Jackie DeShannon, PJ Proby, David Gates, Jack Nitzsche, Sonny Bono, Sharon Sheeley, it just boggles the mind.
Hard to believe Sharon Sheeley's been gone since 2002, passing at age 62. Besides Poor Little Fool, she and De Shannon wrote The Great Imposter for The Fleetwoods and Dum Dum for Brenda Lee. She was also married for 5 years to the TV emcee of ABC's Shindig, Jimmy O'Neill. Poor Little Fool was written by Sharon after her break-up with Don Everly.
We'd like to post this video on our blog in early April when we post on SHARON SHEELEY... so many DEMO MAKERS including P.J. Proby, Bobby Darin, Glen Campbell, David Gates, and Leon Russel went on to have their own fame!
If you go from the other side of town to the other side of the world (Melbourne Aust) , please let me know , I would love to see you in a live concert.
was looking for people or things that happened on m,ay 17th that had to do with musicians....because i wonderer if past deaths and births influecend who you were or someting idk...........anyways i like songs and such and found that quite a number of composeres and singers and song artists have diesor been born on my birthday odd isnt it??? lol.......as well as a bunch of rulers........
From the CD "Sharon Sheeley Songwriter", shown in the videoclip. Find it at Amazon or Itunes. Five more songs written by Sheeley and sung by Proby plus others.
