    WOW that's Miss Helen Shapiro age 15 singing LIVE, what a lady, what a voice.

    • @andy6576
      @andy6576 5 років тому

      You DO realise that for it to be live she would need , ya know, a microphone? Just sayin'. Not that she wasn't a good singer, of course.

      @@andy6576 The mic is positioned just above her head out of camera shot on a boom. The vocal is most definitely live. Yes I DO know how those shows worked. Boom mics are used primarily in film purposes, where the microphone should be positioned close to the audio source without appearing in the frame of the shot.

      Memories David?..you probably mean thoughts..in the 60s there were wars, if not real ones then 'cold war' ones. Relatively (statistically) the world has never before been as peaceful as it is now. That said, it is doubtful if that trend will continue forever...

      @@danitadmor if the world is more peaceful now then I will happily live with my thoughts or memories. I understand nostalgia and Rose coloured glasses and all that. The world has never been a Utopia I know but God almighty it certainly is not now. On top of that Elvis is dead and we have covid and Putin and Philip is dead. It is a hard life and then you die. Seriously I do miss the old days but I have very few days left so not much point moaning. Safe safe an covid free. 😊

      @@davidgibbs7232 Hi David, I understand you clearly spoke about nostalgia (which I love too - after all, I also watched this video!). And I think you also meant that nostalgia tends to 'paint' everything rose, thus not really objective. Also, we (people) generally tend to think that the 'good old days' were so much better and peaceful compared to now. Statistically that has been proven wrong and we never lived in such a 'stable' quiet world as we do now (however with the negative twitch of smartphone all day). I spoke above about 'dry facts' and nothing more. Wish you enjoy your time to the most! :-)
