It is rumored that John Lennon really did love her. She was his secret love even when he was with Cynthia. They had quite a flirtation. Sorry, but I can’t remember where I read this.
It may be that you’re referring to Alma Cogan who looked simular to Helen. John had a thing with Alma and used to visit her at her flat in the early days while he was in London but Cyn was still in Liverpool. Alma’s flat regularly had parties with the glitterati of showbiz so the assignations were not well known outside the circle of friends. Sadly Alma died of cancer I think in 1966.
My mother bought one of her albums and she signed the LP and l asked her what are the Beatles like and she said,' Their all Great Lads' she said,so pretty and she was from London by her accent not Liverpool. A fine singer.🙂🇬🇧
To think that she's only 17 in this video is mind blowing. What a professional at such a young age and such amazing stage presence. Even now, knowing how big the Beatles became after this, watching this video she is the one who mesmerises you.
Helen was 16 years old when she performed this track. She had a remarkable voice, it is a shame the quality of the songs didn't always match her talent.
You never heard the Monty Python sketch rock notes? Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager, Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became for a while, Trout, then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, the re-formed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumour and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which lead to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable split up. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Meuniere, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Baith, the Plaices, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon In A White Wine Sauce, Salmon Meuniere, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favorite, had to be dropped following an injunction.
Before 1971, when the British left Singapore on a 'Homeward Bound' we the English educated grew up with her singings. Well, it's not too late "YOU DON'T KNOW" for you will be 'WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS' with many of her lovely songs and her voice too. Happy listening!
Looks like George got a little too close at 1:32. Helen looks a little shocked....that wasn't choreographed. A wonderfully clear and mature voice for a 16 yr old. Wonder why she neve made it to the states? Except for the unfortunate plinky music, her cover of 'Across the Sea' is better than Darin's original.
Helen is still famous in the UK but generally prefers to record gospel music these days. But, here in America, this video is only beginning to inform Beatles fans about her remarkable talent. Thanks, UA-cam!
She was a little before my time , but watching and listening to her voice she was amazing for her age and I really enjoy listening to her voice it's strong powerful and sounds great , loving her videos 👍✌
What a wonderful feel good song and film. What a voice for someone so young! I really love this it still lifts the spirit 61 years after it was recorded!
This was early 1963, the Beatles were *her* supporting act! Ms Shapiro was a big star at the ripe old age of 16 and had already had film roles and UK chart-topping singles when this episode of Ready Steady Go was filmed.
I began my first paper route in November of 1963 -- I was a state of the art news-delivery person -- JFK was assassinated 3 weeks later. I quit my last paper route June 30, 1968. RFK was assassinated 3 weeks earlier "We find the word, secrecy, repugnant." Boom. OMG they killed Kennedy. THOSE BASTARDS..
I first saw the Beatles in Doncaster in 1963 when they were third on the bill to Chris Montez and Tommy Roe. I think the tickets were about 1/6d but I could be wrong on that. Can’t understand why I missed the Helen Shapiro gig - she was one of my then girlfriend’s heroes. Happy memories.
Shapiro popped on to the music scene with four top 3 hits - two number 1s - and was voted Britain's Top Female Singer before she was sixteen. Then she faded almost as fast as she rose. This song made it only to the middle of the charts. The lads she was goofing with in this appearance made her style seem so...yesterday. She sounded at least ten years older than her age, which was sort of weird in a way.
@@vangroover1903 You fool. He was murdered in a car crash after they cut his brake lines. Then they quickly found an identical guy who could play an innovative left-handed bass guitar, had the same 4-octave voice and could write #1 hit songs like Oprah can eat Skittles. Ya know, Billy Shearers. Luckily, not even his family noticed. : )
She did, indeed, have a unique voice--a sound that can't be duplicated. unfortunately, her only recording to chart stateside was "Walkin' Back to Happiness," which reached #100 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961.
Не могу с Вами согласиться. Да она и сама с Вами однозначно не согласилась бы. Элен - это Элен, а Битлз! - это Битлз! У каждого была своя ниша. Но они пошли гораздо дальше её. И Слава Богу!
I feel like I just found a treasure. Nice song, I also like Helen Saphiro's melodious voice and didn't expect the Beatles to be with her. Thank you for sharing this song .Ringo so awesome. ♥️
@@michaellee9262 Helen and the boys toured together in 1962, so they were already friends. Word is that John had a crush on Helen (and she knew it and probably gave her a personal message when she was walking away toward Mr. Starkey.
Never saw this until now, and I am pretty much a Beatles completist since ca. 1970, when I was aged 9. This is why I love UA-cam. otherwise I just never would have even found this!
Happy Birthday Helen Shapiro born on September 28, 1946. She is a British pop and jazz singer and actress. While still a teenager in the early 1960s, she was one of Britain's most successful female singers.With a voice described by AllMusic as possessing "the maturity and sensibilities of someone far beyond their teen years", Shapiro recorded two 1961 UK chart toppers, "You Don't Know" and "Walkin' Back to Happiness", when she was just 14 years old. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Shapiro
Helen Shapiro - красавица!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw Helen in a movie from the ‘60’s and was intrigued by her unique voice so uploaded some of her other songs . What a talent ! Sent away for her autobiography and she autographed it for me . Love her music , love her .
@@olivemchenry9177 I believe I paid around $10.00 for the book , and having her being so gracious to sign it , I’d rather not resell it . She’s a remarkable woman .
I like her little head-shake around 1.00. Was this before the Beatles did this in their act, with the woo's, on She Loves You? Or was she mimicking them? Helen was the adult/ pro here, so composed, acting far beyond her teen-years. I love her different expressions. The Beatles seemed like schoolboys, in comparison. Love the video. The concept is brilliant!
And ironic how the Beatles' music pushed Helen's style off the charts. I was 14 in 63, and remember that earlier music all too well. It was time for a change!
I remember Helen OK, but I'd forgotten just what a distinctive and rich voice she had, and she was also pretty good looking. More talent than perhaps folk realised.
Yep. She also didn't have to wear no-seeum costumes, and have ridiculous sets and auto-correct to show her talent - a talent which was much bigger than her ego.
This is wonderful. I knew that The Beatles had been a support act in 62/63 to Helen Shapiro but never knew about this great piece of film. It is like Helen handing her 'fame' over to The Beatles
Well, hear how she is... sensational! Thank you Mike! Since discovering this glorious gem, I researched Helen and so happy she has had her own successful musical career. You don't need America to prove her skill and wonderful voice. I love watching her expressions as she performs this with 'the boys'. A nightly must see, and recommended to many.
Outstanding voice - she should have had a much longer career than she ended up with. I was fortunate to pick up a '' best of Helen'' CD some years ago.
I think that round about that time, she was touring with the Beatles and she was the headline act. But because of the fan reaction, the Beatles took over the headline spot. It's ironic she got on well with the Beatles but, in a way, the popularity they gained, along with other bands, meant it was virtually the end of her career.
Rumor has it Helen had a big crush on John and John knew it. That's probably why he was acting like such a dick but then he was always acting like that, wasn't he? RIP Johnny. We still loved you.
Because she wasn't American and didn't chart in America. She was a British singing star. Believe it or not, the Beatles were her supporting act at this time!

It is rumored that John Lennon really did love her. She was his secret love even when he was with Cynthia. They had quite a flirtation. Sorry, but I can’t remember where I read this.
There’s a behind the scenes photo of them dancing together and having a grand time.
She was a lennon fan that's as far as it went
She’s lovely, a great singer - though somehow got vibes that she was perhaps Lesbian ?
Unrequited love from her to John, as told by her

Agree ! In 1963 the studio 'experts' more often than not told the artists what was a 'hit' song !
her version of "it Might as Well Rain Until September" (a Carol King song0 is terrific.

For her age, she has a powerful matured voice full of punch...walking in happiness.

I never heard of her until viewing this (April 2022). Great voice.

She has a wonderful voice, powerful and expressive. She went on to sing a lot of jazz and more recently, Gospel music.
Before Will Smith...There was George Harrison smacking Helen Shapiro on stage of Ready Set Go. Beatles were really the first at everything!!
I thought that move was kind of stupid by George.
Looks like George got a little too close at 1:32. Helen looks a little shocked....that wasn't choreographed.

My heart throbs a few decades too late. She’s got to have one of the greatest voices of all time. I may have been born in the wrong decade.

She was big in the UK and Australia in the early 60s.
I'm a similar age to Helen and she was very popular but she didn't get the breaks that arguably inferior singers of her generation got.
Because she wasn't American and didn't chart in America. She was a British singing star. Believe it or not, the Beatles were her supporting act at this time!

You don't get out much ?
I'll be attending a Hebron concert in Kent next month, May 2022, hopefully she'll be around for Meet & Greet after
Neat....I'm 76, musician...never knew!
A girl with a powerful voice
Helen Shapiro and the Beatles! what a time in the early 60's!
