When You Walk In The Room - Jackie DeShannon (1964)

Notice how she mistakenly starts too early at first. ;-) such a sweetheart! Sharon Lee Myers performing her OWN song at Hollywood a Go Go, with the original audio playback.

If you want a higher quality version of this, buy the DVD from Hollywood a Go Go!

lyrics (also by Jackie!):

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing, lovely tunes
Everytime that you, walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's
me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so
nonchalant

I feel a summer's night with a magic moon
Everytime that you, walk in the room

Baby, it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound, I hear thunder boom

Everytime that you walk in the room
Everytime that you walk in the room
Everytime that you walk in the room

@cboncklis I know about the short skirts which I didn't see too much back then. when I went to High School the girls wore skirts ankle length.

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.

Beautiful smile, good record. . .

@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.
