You Can Have Him - The Cake (1967)

Bizarre clip from semi-psychedelic girl group "The Cake" performing "You Can Have Him". The overly enthusiastic girl in green is Jeanette Jacobs (1950-1980), who married Chris Wood of the group Traffic. The other two members are Chelsea Lee & Barbara Morillo. They wrote their own music, sang a cappella, and member Barbara Morillo is reported to be currently working on a new a cappella CD with 80s rock star Patti Smyth. The group sang background on The Soft Machine's first album "Why Are We Sleeping," and Chelsea Lee was in a film produced by Peter Yarrow called "You Are What You Eat," where she sings "I Got You Babe" with Tiny Tim while The Band played the music. The Cake's recorded two albums: "The Cake" (Decca, 1967), and "A Slice Of Cake" (Decca, 1968), which were re-released on CD in 2007 by Rev-ola.

Somebody must've royally pissed off Jeanette backstage!

Are the outfits from the Joanne Whorley collection?

The vibes in those good 'ole late '60s psychedelic days were quite unique and special like no other era in time. Let's not forget those nice "organic sounding" warm tubes amps, receivers, and speakers...like my Fisher 500-C and '67 Dynaco speakers. ;-)

I've never heard of these whores

[TOPCAT462]

What was up with 2 of the babes dancing and the third one brain dead ?

[desertgreek]

@lilic1 thats not true either, Just to set the record straight, she never had epiliepsy seizures until after she was with Ginger Bakers Airforce, Beleive it or not it was caused by a severe blow to the head by some stage hand hitting her accidentally with a drum stand. Not dancing on stage is just who she was, the gift she had was her voice and her beauty...

@brockmont

how would you know?

[desertgreek]

@clotho98 she was soo beautifull, Jimi Hendrix was a lucky guy....

[brockmont]

I knew Jeanette and Chris well, there was a lot of heroin involved

[lilic1]

@GalaxyRover1020 She had epilepsy, she died from the effects of a seizure. It's the reason why she wasn't dacing in this video.
