The female in this video is well known German television personality Tina Ruland).
This is by far the best version of this song. Another great song from The Searchers.
Just absolute gold here...never get tired playing this version.......magic !
So good memories from this music
Had the first record from the Sixties but this is even better!! I am from 1946 and still love this music!!
I am 69. Dutch and live in beautiful Panamá. Love this song and the girl dressed with a look of the fantastic sixties.
First heard them perform this version at Cliff Richard’s The Event concert in 89’. Loved it then and still do. Amazing!!
such a great song in the 60's and again in the 80's ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER and at 66 i still am
The '80s in many ways was an updated version of the early and mid-60s in the general look, style, hair styles and vibe. The slovenly '70s and '90s, no.
The sound just is magical.. Oh those times.
The Searchers are Absolutely awesome
I've grown up with the original version and can say this....both cuts are GREAT!!!! nuf said.
I love this Guys,,they were part of my life
Love this song can,t beat these golden oldies
das ist pure schöne NOSTALGIE - diese musik
The searchers een groep uit de sixties, bedank voor de mooie muziek , fan henri put belgium
The way they are reminded me of the Beatles in many ways
still out of the 155 songs on my playlist this is plain and simply nr 1
i grew up on this music but haven't heard it in years wow so powerful,and my tears roll excellent.
Will always be one of my favorite songs
quelle jolie melodie !!!! merciiii !!
One of the best studios I seen! ..........Tina still looks v good.
One of the most awesome openings ever!
I remember this great old song and the Jackie DeShannon version too,love it!!!
Excellent..Oui.
in memorory of my uncle bunt died 17/3/07 st. patricks day the legend lives on take it easy on tom in heaven.
A Sonny Bono special. He was a very good songwriter. RIP. Mr. Cher.
Are you guys kidding i grew up in the 80's.
I think is a great 80's version of a great song.....FANTASTIC.....
Always sceptical when a group of such standing 'rediscovers themselves' but 23 years later, this actually sounds really good because they have retained their trademark sound ... not always easy to do.
One of my all time favourite songs
I have just started to listen to all the oldies am only 61 lol got the headphones on trying to bop
Great remake. This reminds me of the Cliff Richard The Event Wembley tour xx
excellant, still one of the best ever songs....
again out of the 173 songs on my playlist this is still number 1 great song
great song. it takes me back to better days.
I would love to see this band for real at least once before they retire next year!
Love the this Group can't beat the oldie s Better then the rubbish what's in charts now thanks
On this day in 1963 {May 18th} Jackie DeShannon performed this song on CBS-TV's "The Jackie Gleason Show"
On that very day it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #84 and spent 4 weeks in the Top 100...
It was written by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono...
Three covered versions have charted: The Searchers {#13 in 1964}, Smokie {#68 in 1977}, and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers {#37 in 1985}...
R.I.P. Mr. Gleason, Mr. Nitzsche, and Mr. Bono...
Can't beat the oldies.
saw the searchers the other night
they are stil class
absolutely brilliant
really this is a great song the searchers is the best
I was in a local club in 1999 which usually had cover bands and alike. A band came on and I thought, "Ah a Searchers number, we have a sixty's tribute band playing".
They play the next track and I thought, wow, these are really good and I made the effort to get up and watch.
I was blown away by a fantastic performance and it wasn't a tribute band, it was THE Searchers playing a local dive bar.
After the finished I met the love of my life that evening in the club. (She is a whole other story).
These are now up there with my favourite bands and that gig, although it was a small dingy venue and a fiver to get in, it is the most memorable gig I have been to.
8 YEARS ON THEY ARE STILL CLASS AND ALWAYS WILL BE
The first single I bought!!
Hola tengo 59 años y recien me doy cuenta de esta banda the Searschers..Me perdi la mitad de mi vida.
I knew a lad yrs ago well he was about 3o he was bloody gorgeous and played in a band but i think he had a skin complaint i all ways called him needles and pins lol glad i grew up lol x
Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche wrote this tune and Jackie DeShannon was the first to record and make it a hit in 1963.
Always loved this tune by this group and was a fan of Jackie D. also.
Love the Blond and the song!!
Loved the Searchers,saw them in ‘ The Savoy Picture house in the 1960’s in Cambuslang ‘ great Group brilliant song..’’
That's fantastic!
This song is crying out for some Rickenbacker love!
Spencer James @ The Rising Sun, Sudbury Hill, Harrow...MEGA DAYS: MEGA BAND...SOOOO MANY HAPPY MEMORIES
Tina sieht hier so ungewöhnlich schön aus.
That's how it begins this needles and pins. Great song and video
C'E' PASSIONE,SI SOGNA CON QUESTO SOUND,TROVO CI SIA QUALCOSA DI CELESTE,ANNI SESSANTA,IN QUEL MOMENTO DIO ERA CON NOI,IL NOSTRO PERCORSO ERA UNA STRADA APERTA,POI E' ARRIVATA LA BESTIA-DENARO E SIAMO PRECIPITATI NEL BUIO PIU' PROFONDO.
fantastic band fantastic song John Inder aged 47
So wonderful
the guitar sound when the song really starts that sounds awesome great song
I am pushing 58 and grew up in music. Not BS'ing , on my Mom's side Lucy and George Fullerton (co-founder of Fender Guitar) were my aunt and uncle. We all lived in the same town with the Fender mfg plant. BTW Lucy Fullerton died in May 2009 and George two months later in July 2009. I was fortunate enought to know a great many musicians who had played in the late 50's on to the late 70's. I've always play'd in some group since I was 17. Just Bass.
You must be pushing 70 now ... hope you're still with us?
one of my all time fave videos
I watched a documentary about Sonny and Cher today. I was surprised to learn that Sonny Bono co-wrote Needles and Pins, one of my favorite 60's rock songs.
Great video saw them live Friday, brilliant as usual.
Great song, thanks for posting!
On this day in 1964 {April 5th} the Searchers performed "Needles and Pins" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
One month earlier on March 7th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #13 and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100...
And on January 30th it reached #1 {for 4 weeks} in the U.K.
They were the 2nd British group {after the Beatles} to appear on the 'Sullivan' show...
R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan {1901 - 1974}...
Tina Ruland is so sweet ...
