There are two videos of this appearance. One of them is distracting, because the audio does not match the video. This one is matched. In listening carefully to both videos, they do sound a bit different. Not just the quality of the audio, but Ketty's voice. I believe that she was singing live on this video, this show...Shindig 11/64. And on the other video, it is over-dubbed with the original sound track...so it does not quite match her live timing in this video. Love this one!!

Quando Ketty Lester gravou esse programa, cantando a bela canção Love Letters, em 4 de novembro de 1964, minha mãe me tinha em seu ventre, com 2 meses.

WOW! i've always loved this song! I was only 5 when my father died and out of all the things that were given to me, its his collection of 45's that mean the most to me. My dad had written my mom's name all over this 45 record. My mom didn't even know that my dad did this, The records were given to me by my grandmother after his passing. My parents met in Jr. high and were inseperable until his tragic death, he was only 25yrs old. Thnks 4 posting it. Its nice to put a face to the voice.

I've never seen this before - one of my favorite songs of all time, and this performance leaves me literally breathless.
