  • super super super i like this very very much all the stars greetings jan from holland

  • @MarvellousLie Thanks for the Marvellous response. Listen through stereo headphones if you want the best sound - and to remove that slight 'down-the-drainpipe' echo on Helen's voice.

  • @MarvellousLie sonja hora is a lady who does cover songs of helen shapiro and others, her utube name is banderuolo66.

  • What a great song ! Always a pleasure listen to it !!!!

  • thank you, sirbasildebrush, i hope we connect in the future. michael seratt  seratt007

  • hello everyone, we recently had a big utube conference in l.a. called vidcon2010. let me know if any of our friends who post helen shapiro videos were there. i hope you all move to l.a.-including sonja hora and helen shapiro herself. michael seratt seratt007

  • @seratt007 Alas, I wasn't there. First time I've heard about it.

  • @LaVerne37 Omg Kevin, Kevin, my lost twin brother !!!! Is it you ????

  • Who is that girl ? She sounds great.

    I think I am in love.

    Thanks my friend.

  • @KKL281 ...you're no stranger to me no more...you're my dream lova...

    for your identity I daren't reveal...

    :)

  • @LaVerne37 Mister LaVerne, there is nothing to reveal ! My name is Katherine,

    I am 61 years old, mother of 6 children, divorced since 20 years, remarried since 1 week. I think you have confused me with another person.

    I am not your dream lova.....Sorry, maybe if I was free, but now I am married with

    Luciano. Best Wishes to you and your dream lova...

  • @KKL281 Best wishes in your new life.

  • Nice to visit and listen to Helen overhere ... really a superb quality sound ... I have many 5 stars... one goes for ya now Sir....!!!

  • see my comment on toxic helen.SHE IS MOST DEFINITELY TOXIC.seratt007

  • hello sirbasildebrush and laverne 37, i just found'i cried myself to sleep last night' by helen on twitter and GOOD LORD knows this woman is/was the greatest singer of all time. hope you are able to post it on utube. i've been whipped by you know what. michael seratt seratt007

  • hello sir basil and everyone, i've been checking today's teenage female singers and helen is just the greatest. her unique versatile voice reigns over everyone,even barbra streisand.i know it is a matter of taste, but whoop bah-oh-yeh-yeh

  • yes 1:39 is great, but also 4:9,1:11,and1:31 my heart is pounding out of my chest. seratt007

  • @seratt007. Well I checked all those times, and can confirm see looks great at all of them!

  • the photo at 1:39 stops me 'eart...

  • if anyone out there knows about helen appearing in l.a. for gospel and/or pop please give me a message. i missed marianne faithful at u.c.l.a. in late dec. last year. and only heard about it recently. it is sad to think helen may never return to her pop career. but i rejoice for the gospel work she is doing today. i'm sure you all agree. she is a precious angel.

  • Well...Oh...Well...Oh ...Well ..."high miles" this tune is really a moody 1 :-)

    I like those tunes that have a story...

    Tks. for opening my ears to this lovely 1 from HS

  • My pleasure, and thanks for the comment.

  • Comment removed

  • @LaVerne37 Well ya sure brought a smile on my face... I like how Sir Basil whirls his sticks ... I hear ya back-up vocal clearly ...keep 'em rolling along ... me ...ahhh ... naaa ..I always wished I would have 10% of voice of my 100% love of my music era. I even sometimes get innoyed when my voice goes on it's own route ,-).This is as I mentioned earlier a superb tune and story by Helen:-)

    ... @SirBasildeBrush - tks. again Sir Basil for this great stereo quality . Ohhh and of course =5stars

  • @laggie24 Thanks for the engaging comment. Whirling my sticks..?!

  • @SirBasildeBrush I let it slip about your winning the baton twirling contest...

    NO! NO!

    Say mate...is this my official song now? May 3, will be my second year anniversary with HEGS...and Sir Stuffy...

  • @LaVerne37 From my cheerleading days. T...E...X...A...S

  • @SirBasildeBrush :)...how that pocket protector never fell out, I'll never know...

  • yes everyday is shapiro day! my spirit soars to her music. whoop-bah-oh-yeh-yeh

  • thank you laverne37, wish i could join in the bouffant,but my hair is thin these days. i hope helen will return to her pop/rock/jazz career someday.

  • thank you laverne37.i checked a web that has a current photo of helen and conversation with her about the cd.check my comment to soulfan3 on'she needs company' i hope sir basil will help us find more items on her.i'm sure you'll agree that helen rates alongside elvis and the beatles. i now call the early 60's the helen shapiro era.

  • top secret but Basil still wears his hair a'la SHAPIRO BOUFFANT!!! But only for my visits across the pond!

    :)

    Every day is SHAPIRO DAY!!!

  • and i should add i've heard over 100 songs by helen that should have been number one on the charts.all i say is there must have been something about context and timing as to why helen has been an unsung heroine.

  • @seratt007 you have the answer, my friend...it was a matter of timing...stardom is highly overrated and I am so thankful for discovering her. Her new album comes out Feb. 10, 2010. My only advice would be to keep in touch with Sir Basil...if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the "Shapiro Spectrum," of Colour!

  • thank you sir basildebrush,if i had to pick one song as my favorite by helen i think 'daddy couldn't get me one of those' would be it. it would be wonderful if you or someone could find helen doing this song live back in the early 60's when it was new. i can't think of a better pop song by anybody anywhere.she was awesome. whoop-bah-oh-yeh-yeh!

  • sounds good to me. if she could come out at the end of the stageplay i'd like to see her vary the songs she would do. i think'daddy could't get get me one of those' would be a show stopper. i believe helen reads these messages.she is on facebook also. scroll to the name maureen cox-and you will find paul,ringo,cynthia lennon,patty boyd,and jane asher. the icons for paul and ringo are blocked though.

  • 'Daddy Couldn't..' is a good one. Never been on facebook, maybe I'll take a look.

  • or perhaps young stranger! she is the one we've been dreaming of.

  • I, of course will provide all the vocal back-ups that were actually "The Jordanaires," in Memphis...I believe Basil was at prep school that day...in 1963

    :)

  • laverne37 i agee completely. helen seems to be the total package-beautiful,talented,mor­ally clean,unbelieveably generous.someone recently suggested producing a broadway stageplay on her life and career on her facebook page. that could be the hit we've been wanting for. and if she came out at the end to sing'walking back to happiness' i'll bet the audience would be electrified.

  • thank you laverne 37, i hope fans like you and me can help her become a classic in the u.s. today.

  • @seratt007 burn cds...I've burned hundreds...doctors, authors, Harvard grads, porters, seriously...they love this lady and CANNOT believe America missed out! But if I may paraphrase Scarlett O'Hara with my fist clinched: "I will never go musically hungry again! Not me nor my country! If I have to lie, cheat , steal or kill, America will know the name and music of HELEN SHAPIRO!!!"

    (I must cut down on my caffeine intake!)

  • Helen in Nashville is amazing! Can't believe it did chart!

  • I'm in full agreement.

  • laverne 37 was very lucky to have seen helen in person in 1962. my parents were talking about moving to england in 1961, but we never did and since helen was not a hit in the u.s. i only knew her through the 'trad' film. one day last august i was googling the beatles and there she was singing 'look who it is' to them. i then googled her and the long wait over the years made everything much sweeter.

  • That's a nice clip with her singing to the Beatles. I heard Helen in a radio documentary recently recalling how in 1963 she was on tour in the UK ...supported by The Beatles. Only by the end of the tour had the Beatles gone supernova.

  • @seratt007 oh how I wish I could have met this iconic figure in 1963 when she was in Nashville... alas I was just a few hundred miles from her...without a driver's license and unable to cut class!

    Wayne in Texas.

    "Young Stranger," has remained my greatest Youtube discovery and Helen has remained my greatest Youtube love! Here's to all the BRITS!!! YOU RULE!!!

    :)

  • thank you sir basil and laverne 37 for posting the enhanced version of young stranger. i put it on my facebook today. i've been watching other ladies of pop today-gale garnett,marrianne faithfull,anita pallenberg,and others.i have to say helen is above them all. i've never had the pleasure of meeting her, but i hope to in the near future. she has a quality beyond any singer-i guess it is called the 'it quality;star charisma. she has been very nice to me in some personal e-mails. cont'd in next.

  • Thanks for the interesting comment. LaVerne very much shares your enthusiasm for Helen.

  • thank you sir basil, i just sent helen an e-mail saying the same thing as in my comment. i believe this great lady became a better person ,because of the struggle against adversity she went through in the 1970's. she has been very nice to me in some personas e-mails.

  • @SirBasildeBrush may I mention Helen's gem: "You'd Think He Didn't Know Me," also a perfect Nashville recording...along with "Here Today and Gone Tomorrow," which should have been a #1 country hit...

    AMERICA WUZ ROBBED!!! Therapy is helping, however... :)

  • January 1, 2010...sigh...Helen is still here...it wasn't a dream...I'm back to discova' that she's no stranger to me, no mo' she's my dream lova'!!!

    :)

  • She's still your dreamlover.

  • true...the only other woman I've eva dreamed about is Ms. B...oops...I didn't mean for you to find out this way...NO NO!!!

    name withheld...

  • 12/31/2009 4AM...just checked to see if neighbours were home...NO!....therefore; Hegs is blasting this gem for all of Texas to hear!!! Every listen is like the first time...

    Happy New Year to everyone out there!

    :)

    Henry Hjelm........SCANDAL!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • @LaVerne37. Looking at the play stats, it's most watched in UK. Must be Helen, then a tie between Sweden (gp up to no good) and Texas.

  • wait...remember where I am and how slow we are...are you saying that this song is the most watched in the entire United Incredible Kingdom? You don't know how hard to bear...is this overseas love affair...

  • @LaVerne37...and Canada's not far behind Texas.

  • I'm working as fast as I can...Anders is acting bad again...DON'T read his latest "Basil," comments......I plead the fifth!!!!!!!!!!

    Younggggggg

    Colonistttttttttt

  • Another nice tune by Helen.

  • I suppose I'll always be a stranger to Helen ( well, they don't come much stranger than me ) but a man can dream ...

  • You beat LaVerne to his treasured song...

  • LaVerne will be in bed by now!
