Wow, never heard of these gals. So Sad to miss out on such a good band back in the day. So what I'd say is I'll kick back and enjoy their music today. Big Thanks for posting.
History tends to forget all the other bands to come out of the British Invasion, specifically the Mercey scene. Few realize that The Beatles weren't the only band to come out of that scene, nor were they the ones who invented that sound. Its great to not only scratch the surface, butv also dig down and find all the bands who "could have" been where The Beatles were in pop culture had things gone a different way.
Exactly. Gerry and the Pacemakers were the first Liverpool act to reach number one in the UK Singles Chart with their first three single releases: "How Do You Do It?", "I Like It" and "You'll Never Walk Alone". A record not equaled for 20 years.
@@jeffg1524 You know what I'm saying! It's like you always see The Beatles getting off the plane and the birth of BEATLEMANIA, but you never hear about that around the same time the Dave Clark Five were causing a similar frenzy with American audiences while and Gerry and the Pacemakers were keeping UK fans excited during this time. History tends to cherry pick what they choose to celebrate
@@jayanxiety So many forgotten stories. There was a time in the mid-60's when the DC5, Hollies and Herman's Hermits (to name just a few) rivaled the Beatles in UK popularity. I hope they'll never be lost to history.
@@jeffg1524 Let's not forget America's answer to the British Invasion: the aptly named, "Paul Revere and the Raiders"! I've recently gotten into their music which is inspired by the British bands of the era, but adds a Garage and Blues edge to it! Songs like "Good Thing", "What's It Gonna Be-Him or Me?", "Kicks", "Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon", "Too Much Talk" and others make great "Feel Good" music, great for long drives!
With the late Pamela Birch on lead vocals, the Liverbirds doing a female version of "She's about a Mover" - the big one for Sir Douglas Quintet. Great!

@@drivinsouth651 There’s someone way over to the left of the drummer sitting down facing away from the band. Possibly the keys player from another band.

@@sandraharris269 I was wondering the same when I first started listening to them. It's unfortunate they're not individually credited on each song. I had to just keep listening until I could easily identify each of their voices. Val also sang lead on Johnny B. Goode, Road Runner, Money, Before You Accuse Me, Got My Mojo Working, Shop Around, For Your Love, Around And Around (album recording only, Pam sang it live apparently), Hands Off, and a few others.

@@jayanxiety Big Paul Revere & Raiders fan. I bought a double CD retrospective decades ago and have their Midnight Ride 1966 album on vinyl.

Who is playing the keys?
@@drivinsouth651 The keyboard player in the studio where the record was made?
@@chygwelanmeneth That is a very strange name; where are they from, Liverpool?

The Liverbirds formed in 1966 Liverpool England,
All Girl Rock band inspired by The Beatles.

"The Liverbirds formed in 1966 Liverpool England" Not true. They formed in 1963 and by 64 were touring extensively.
The group consisted of vocalist and guitarist Valerie Gell, guitarist and vocalist Pamela Birch, bassist and vocalist Mary McGlory, and drummer Sylvia Saunders.
Gell, Saunders, and McGlory formed the band in 1963 along with guitarist Sheila McGlory (Mary's sister) and vocalist Irene Green, both of whom quickly left to join other bands and were replaced by Birch.
Valerie Gell, vocalist and guitarist (1963-1968, 1998), died 2016
Mary McGlory, bassist and vocalist (1963-1968, 1998)
Sylvia Saunders, drummer (1963-1968, 1998)
Sheila McGlory, guitarist (1963)
Irene Green, vocalist (1963)
Pamela Birch, guitarist and vocalist (1963-1968, 1998) (replaced Sheila McGlory and Irene Green), died 2009

Great cover
Just got a copy of their book. Couldn't believe that somebody would write a whole book about a band from 60s years ago.
Why not?
Interesting organ in this song. Not their usual sound
Valerie Gell is on lead vocals here.
Interesting. I was wondering what Liverbirds songs have Val singing lead.

HOT, HOT, HOT AND HOT! lm
Don 't like this. Live performance video is great, but I don't want to see video from another song edited and faked to look like something it isn't.
Ненавижу 💋💓
You can hear the organ in this song, yet the band did not have an organ player. Hmmmm.....
It’s almost as if it were overdubbed, Sherlock:
