Oh Boy.....she is gorgeous AND SEXY in this video and by all accounts is as lovely today 47 years on from '64. When The Searchers released this in '65 Radio Caroline North started playing this original version by its' writer/composer Jackie DeShannon....I, and all of my friends preferred the original....and here in 2011 it STILL sounds GREAT, added bonus? actually seeing the beautiful and sexy Jackie "in action"....God bless you Jackie wherever you are...xoxox..barrie in spain
I do love this song - the greatest song that Jacke DeShannon ever sang. I love her dance steps too and her outfit.
I also like the hairdo that Jackie wore with the bun on the top, and the hairdos that the other girls wore called a page boy. I think the men look very handsome with short hair cuts, white long sleeve shirts, and ties. That's the way it should be - people showing style and respect.
@cboncklis actually friend this was considered "trashy" by the standards of the parents of 64.her far to short skirt more then mid way above her knees along with her form fitting tight display and sexually suggestive hip movements shocked parents and older adults of the day. it's all reletive friend.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 I lived during the 60s also and you did not teach me anything I don't already know. I guess I was lucky in life because my parents did not have a problem with it.
I love Jackie DeShannon's original song When You Walk In the Room and Pam Tillis's version of this song also. Pam Tillis's version of this song is on the Sweetheart's Dance album from 1994.
Art is a very interesting thing. This vid reinforces the idea that the very best practitioners are a rare breed, and it comes naturally and effortlessly to such artists. You can't study, emulate, or practice your way to real ability. This explains why most entertainers are so painfully not up to the task. Just try listening to what passes for singing these days...
jackie wrote and recored this in nov.63 but it didn't do well with its heavy orcastation.george harrison recieved the first rickenbacker 360 electric 12 string during the sullivan visit.he popularized its sound on the hard days night LP.the searchers influenced by his sound recorded jackie's song using a 12 and got a hit. jackie after her beatles tour in august re-recored the song with a 12 string intro in sept.64 and released it on "breakin'it up with the beatles on tour" album.
I'm not certin I follow your way of speaking but if I do I suppose you mean previously recorded when you say "premade" and "adding to the template"? I dont know that its easier to add to it. look alot of people have wrote songs that are not very good till someone rearranged them.they would have gatherd dust if someone hadn't. jackie's version of this song went nowhere (at least here in the states). it took the seachers, version for the song to be successful in terms of sales and a hit.
@jg33brunner Remember: when Elvis was first televised, they only shot above his hips. This was 1965. TOO much fun and you were off the air. But the fact is, you can tell she's having fun, and if you can't, you've been watching too much Beyonce lately.
This video brings me back to parties when I was a boy we used to do at home, dancing with the record player. The girls, many was a copy of De Shannon, that was the fashion: blonde, ponytail, blouse, skirt above the knee. Simple. Order. As soon as one could, put on a slow. Every one danced. You held her slowly, slowly and she, inevitably, leaning her forehead to your face. They were good times.
I've reached the ripe old age of 56-I'm the Production Manager for hard rockers Nazareth and thought I knew my music-I had no idea what an enormous gift we have in Jackie-thanks for the education!Tam Sinclair.
@burnley5960 jackie did great on this but I think the searchers outdid her abit. they stayed with the guitar sound rather then orcastration and the vocal harmonies gave it a real punch a solo just doesnt have. the searchers gave it that liverpool treatment that shook the world. you metioned the guitar sound jackie had at the start of this being pre-searchers,and byrds. you forget they (and she) were influenced in that sound by george harrison the originator. they copied his sound.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 but would it not also be right to say it is easier to add to a premade song than come up with your own. therefore it would be i think, right to say any remake would be better to the listener who favoured the genre it was played in. or at the very least easy to add (or take) to the template of a ready made song ie: baa baa black sheep which can utilise new technology to sound better than the original baa baa black sheep. (shocking example i know) but i hope you get my point
rocker53zero! Here it is! Read a few reviews and I think maybe the Searchers gave her credit for this one.Anyway this is how I feel everytime you show up on my screen! LOL! For real I do! ♥
It´s John Sebastian in the beginning. Who knows how to get the series this clip was in? It is called "Golden Age of Rock´n´Roll". Anybody got it on DVD?
Jackie has always been the complete package - songwriter (she wrote this) with the voice of an angel, and the face of one to boot! Today, at 66, she's still a stunner!
I love the searchers recording best but jackies is very enjoyable also. along with carol king,and leslie gore, she helped assure female song writers a lofty place in rock and pop history.
Love this tune, don't hear it enough on the radio, so once again, thanks to youtube and meowbay. The chick on the right can really shake it, can't she ?
Sweet lady, great pop tune that always makes me happy, great hook and sentiment and deliverd so beautifully by a beautiful singer. Great moves, and the wonderful wink about :10 secs. in just knocks me out. Congratulations Jackie, on being rightfully inducted into the songwriters' H.O.F. this week.
Rayarena...seems that Jackie has a Celtic soul, and, if you listen to Led Zeppelin's albums, Jimmy Page has clearly influenced the band, they have Celtic mythology falling out of their albums.
No wonder Jackie and Jimmy shared so much, there Souls were talking to each other, and, I'm sure they never knew.
Questo video mi riporta alle feste che quando ero ragazzo eravamo soliti fare in casa, ballando con il giradischi. Le ragazze, tantissime erano una copia della De Shannon, quella era la moda: biondine, coda di cavallo, camicetta, gonna sopra il ginocchio. Semplici. Ordinate. Appena uno riusciva, metteva su un lento. Tutti ballavano. Tu la stringevi piano, piano e lei, inevitabilmente, appoggiava la sua fronte al tuo viso. Erano tempi belli.
Needles and Pins went Number One for Jackie in Canada and this introduced her to a wider Commonwealth audience, including Britain. She settled in London for a while during the mid 1960's, and wrote some beautiful songs. 'Rayarena' check out Marianne Faithful's 'Come And Stay With Me' a DeShannon/Page composition, it is typical of her work, a Celtic 'Yearning soul ' style, its beautiful:-)
@DSVOP I checked it out. I had heard 'Come and Stay With Me', but I had no idea that it was a Deshannon/Page composition. Great song! On a sidebar, I've often wondered why singers who also happen to be composers sometimes give their compositions to other singers? By the way, It's interesting that you mention DeShannon's music with its Celtic style. Her real name is Myers, but she changed it to DeShannon in honor of an Irish ancestor that she believed had that name.
@DSVOP Where did you hear that Page co-wrote "Come and Stay With Me?' I have it on two Marianne Faithfull albums (her first and a collection) and it's just credited to Jackie DeShannon. Page did co-write "In My Time Of Sorrow," another song on the first album, with DeShannon, though.
America's forgotten treasure..the British loved her, and she was a very important part of the groups and artists who became 'The British Invasion' of the American charts.
One day, the USA will wake up to this young woman's talent, and show her RESPECT...I Pray:-)
@DSVOP I knew her from two songs, "What the World Needs Now" and "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," but I didn't know that she was the first to sing the classic, "Needles and Pins," and this particular song, "When You Walked Into the Room," is fabulous! I can't believe that "Needles and Pins" didn't become a hit in the USA until the Searchers. I actually like Jackie's version even more! And "When You Walked into the Room," should have been a monster hit! Somebody wasn't managing her career well
As underrated a songwriter as I think she is, she's even more underrated as a vocalist....best version of the song, and she's just adorable in this clip...magic
@rolobur dont know but it is probably one of the famous" wrecking crew" session muso's if jack nitzche produced the record. Maybe billy strange or perhaps glen campbell who was a 12string killer in those days. although i have also heard miss deshannon herself flogged a few 12 strings into submission , most notably on her song "dont turn your back on me"!!!
She is like every PRETTY SECRETARY i have ever envisioned jumping up on here desk ,and statse sinigin ....to me,when i walk in her.....office <3 <3 <3
@keeewpid YES! You got it so right! She looks like every PRETTY SECRETARY! She's dressed more like a [sexy] professional woman than a singer. But, you know what? She's so pretty that it works well with her!
Im in a 2 piece band, my partner sings this ......& didnt know who sang it lol, we do it live acoustic, i actually think it sounds better on guitar but we knew it was a 60's number was all & by the way all the older generation jive, thanks for posting xx
She was upset when the Searchers took Needles and Pins from her, but she loved it when they took this one from her because she wrote it and made a lot of money from them. All's well that ends well!
Fantastic video, what a performer, what a person.
Here in the UK, groups from the 60's are still popular. I have been to quite a few shows that the Searchers have performed at and they always credit Jackie De Shannon. To my utter regret, I have never seen/heard the original....well, have I had my eyes opened tonight, thank you educating me.
Thanks Meowbay, did check it out - great ballad. Then did a search for the title, very confusing - some credit Jackie with the lyrics, other credit Bacharach/David composition. Never mind, most of the search returns credit Jackie singing it ( there were a couple of other artists mentioned, but I had never heard of them ), so I guess she owns it.
check out a poster called jameycruz
He uploads lots of 60s music and uses lots of photos of 60s USA, very atmospheric.
She owns this - well, after all it's her composition - and what a friggin' babe. Dancers pale. Melody speaks - and that 12 string lick - hell even Leo Kottke hasn't come up with a hook like this (AND TRUST ME - I TOTALLY LOVE LEOK) If you are a 12 srtring guitar player - play this slow. It is powerful. Killer post. ***** and thanks.
This is Fantastic ! God ! She is absolutely beautiful.I love that look ! First time I 've ever heard the original. I 've always loved the Searcher's version but this blows me away.
I have not seen this one before, unless I happened to catch the program growing up. Does anyone else hear a touch of Cyndi Lauper in her voice? Actually the other way around of course. Gosh she is so lovely. We wore our hair just like that!
I certainly do hear Cyndi in her voice.Even Brenda Lee(listen closely!). I think she was in the writing team that wrote Kim Carnes' humungous 80s hit "Bette davis Eyes".
Dynamite track. Love the Searchers version, too!

She was upset when the Searchers took Needles and Pins from her, but she loved it when they took this one from her because she wrote it and made a lot of money from them. All's well that ends well!

The way she sings this song is is like nobody else can make it sound, she has a natural kind of echo in her voice.
She is fantastic, i think one of the best singers i have ever heard

Notice at 0.8 she started to lip-sync too soon, which is why she's laughing.
Every time that you lip-sync too soon.

Fantastic video, what a performer, what a person.
Here in the UK, groups from the 60's are still popular. I have been to quite a few shows that the Searchers have performed at and they always credit Jackie De Shannon. To my utter regret, I have never seen/heard the original....well, have I had my eyes opened tonight, thank you educating me.

You might also like my other favourite of her, once kicked off of YouTube due to a claim:

Thanks Meowbay, did check it out - great ballad. Then did a search for the title, very confusing - some credit Jackie with the lyrics, other credit Bacharach/David composition. Never mind, most of the search returns credit Jackie singing it ( there were a couple of other artists mentioned, but I had never heard of them ), so I guess she owns it.
check out a poster called jameycruz
He uploads lots of 60s music and uses lots of photos of 60s USA, very atmospheric.

She owns this - well, after all it's her composition - and what a friggin' babe. Dancers pale. Melody speaks - and that 12 string lick - hell even Leo Kottke hasn't come up with a hook like this (AND TRUST ME - I TOTALLY LOVE LEOK) If you are a 12 srtring guitar player - play this slow. It is powerful. Killer post. ***** and thanks.

You would probably enjoy the Searchers' version also . It was a big hit in the 60's,and so beautifully done.

Sarah Palin had this same kind of look to her.

I disagree with that opinion. I don't even see a remote resemblance, to be honest.
Aside from that it's quite the insult towards Sharon.

I have not seen this one before, unless I happened to catch the program growing up. Does anyone else hear a touch of Cyndi Lauper in her voice? Actually the other way around of course. Gosh she is so lovely. We wore our hair just like that!
Ermengarde11 2 years ago
I certainly do hear Cyndi in her voice.Even Brenda Lee(listen closely!). I think she was in the writing team that wrote Kim Carnes' humungous 80s hit "Bette davis Eyes".
