Donna Loren sings "Shakin' All Over" on Shindig (1965)

More Info: http://www.DonnaLoren.net -
Donna Loren's live performance of "Shakin' All Over" with the Shindig Dancers aired on 7-7-65. This song was originally performed by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. It was written by frontman Johnny Kidd and reached #1 in the United Kingdom in August 1960. The original recording was not a hit outside of Europe. Instead, "Shakin' All Over" gained fame in North America after The Guess Who covered it in 1965, where it was a #1 hit in Canada and a #22 hit in the US. Donna has re-recorded this song on her new CD "Love It Away", and you can view it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N7bQHug6pI

Donna Loren was the one-and-only "Dr Pepper Girl" from 1963 to 1968. She was signed to a long-term contract with the soft-drink company to sing all television and radio commercials, do all magazine and billboard advertising representing them in every capacity, sometimes sharing the spotlight with American Bandstand's Dick Clark. This relationship led to her touring in Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars with other popular acts like Diana Ross and The Supremes and singing solos in the popular Beach Party films starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. Later, she became the regular female vocalist on the popular 60's American live rock n roll TV show "Shindig" and she appeared in singing and acting roles in many iconic TV shows like Batman, The Monkees, Gomer Pyle, The Mothers-In-Law, Red Skelton, Milton Berle and various game shows. In the 60's she released 18 singles and an LP. Her new CD entitled "Love It Away" is her first new music in decades. Hear it at http://www.DonnaLoren.net.

I like the sound of this version. Any idea who played the playback? Maybe unknown session musicians? Donna is not bad herself.

[Swinging60sGuy]

@lapislazuli7 Shindig was unique in that most of the tracks were prerecorded in studio and the singing performances were live. The Shindig Band played on this track and the main guitarist of the band was James Burton; that's most likely him playing the famous riff.

never herd this one before, it's great!

[Swinging60sGuy]

She's done a re-make of this that will be on her new CD coming out early 2010.

When Milton Berle made his short-lived TV comeback in 1966, wasn't Donna Loren the regular vocalist on the show since Berle wanted his new show to appeal to younger viewers who might not have remembered his original 1948-56 variety series?

[Swinging60sGuy]

Correct! There's a performance of her singing "Call Me" on YouTube from the Milton Berle Show.

[TheLegendaryTim]

@Swinging60sGuy James Burton used to play with Ricky Nelson.

[69KiRa]

damned thats cool, i wish that today there would be more like this out there, not this hip hop shit

[19XWyomingGrizFan]

Shindig unique in live performances? What about Ed Sullivan and the Andy Williams shows back in the sixties? Weren't they both of them live performances as well?
