Some might called "To Be Myself" too light weighted, but I think it's a super charming song. The song is taken from the 1966 album "Are You Ready For This?" that, for some reason, contains a few Motown inspired tracks. Jackie sounds almost like Diana Ross.

  • Notcie the similarity between this and velvellettes these things that keep me loving you accredited to Kackie de Shannon. :)

  • What is this

    Find Me Love

    Its Love Baby all massive in the Northern Soul clubs in Britain in their time :)

  • Jackie's obscurity is just an unfortunate casualty of the 60s: The market was SOOOO saturated with great music that some people (namely Jackie, Randy newman, and Laura Nyro) were doomed not to be in the public consciousness.

    I think it's absurd only her hits stand on her own. Look at the hits she provided for the Searchers, the Byrds, the Fleetwoods, Brenda Lee, and her contributions to the girl group sound. She definitely didn't lack for material. It was just marketing.

  • Jackie is great, but it's too bad she really only had those two big hits- What the World Needs Now, and Put a Little Love in Your Heart. She had some other good songs, but nothing else that really stood out on its own. If only Jackie could have had someone like Justin Hayward to write all her songs! What a combo that would be! I feel sorry for all the songwriters and singers who had the talent, but just couldn't quite find the magic in their songs to ever become noticed.
