Helen Shapiro ~ Tell Me What He Said ~ 1962

[cbak12sg]

Interesting to see a brief moment with Frank Ifield. Helen was hoping to be the first UK act to have three successive no 1s, after You Don't Know and Walking Back To Happiness. This single stalled at no 2, and the first UK act to achieve three consecutive chart toppers was .... Frank Ifield!

@cbak12sg do you know a lot about this music era?

[cbak12sg]

@Ilove60smusic A fair amount, and the 70s and 80s (though a bit less so the 80s). I've actually read a quote from Helen Shapiro about her wishes to achieve the hat trick, which was a rare thing back then.

Lovely to see the old photo'e especially the one with Violet Carson (Ena Sharples) who I knew personally. Thanks for posting. Great singers, bothof them.

My own favourite of Helen's songs. With the unusual voice she had, i'm sure she would have been a super star had she been starting out today too.

[Mr00MARK00]

love this song well done....

At 1:02  - looks like Amy Winehouse.

[Fingalful]

@sludgefingers No she doesn't. She's never looked drunk. Amy Winehouse never looked sober.

[sludgefingers]

@Fingalful Oops sorry vicar.

Wow!!! This takes me way back to the good times when I was 14. The amazing, beautiful voice of "Helen Shapiro" Cant get any better.

[bootsamou]

Amazing voice. She was only 15 yrs old when she recorded this.

A voice so mellow, so clear, so rich. Unsurpassed.

[johnnymccrowe]

[lottaluck]

What a wonderful voice.Best female vocalist of all time.Beautiful girl.Perfect.

So much focus was on The Beatles that many artists had a hard time while they where on the go.Anyone think when she is dancing to John Lennon they look very close?
