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.
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!
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.
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.🙂🇬🇧
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
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.
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!
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.
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, TH-cam!
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.
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 👍✌
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 TH-cam. otherwise I just never would have even found this!
She is Jewish, and she said, she also believes in Jesus Christ ( Messiahnic Jewish). She came to a Social function a few years ago....she wore a casual white blazer with sleeves rolled up. She hadn't changed much at all.😊🇬🇧🎶
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago, I was enchanted. It's been in my ears constantly ever since. She has a beautiful mature sexy voice. I really love her.
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!
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 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.
The easiness of her melodic power is simply stunning. When you add the hilarious playfulness of the lads, this just may be my favorite music video of all time. Absolutely in love with her.
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.
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.
I have been a huge Beatles fan since they first came across "the pond" but I've never seen this! Helen Shapiro has a wonderful and strong voice, and she's beautiful too!
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
It's her voice that inspired many of us non-English locals to study the English Language better. Her diction with the lyrics is aspiring crystal clear.
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.
Terrific, catchy song. Superb vocals by a child who sings like a mature woman. And the VERY CLEVER staging of this sequence was a treasure unto itself. I wonder how many takes they did in rehearsal? Helen Shapiro's facial nuances are impeccably timed. The eyes, the smiles, everything is magical. For a just a kid (of 16 or 17 at the time) she had amazing talent and professionally seasoned with 2-3 years of experience already under her belt. She exudes supreme confidence and gave the Beatles (the FRIGGING Beatles!!!) a lot of sass in this 3 minute reel. What an absolute treasure. I was not familiar with her until stumbling upon this song today and then also read her bio. This clearly should have been a hit song. Surprised it never caught on in U.S.
@@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. : )
I'm Brazilian, and when I see mainly American music from the 60's and 70's, I'm delighted. As there were singers with beautiful songs and they were often not known. Ps.: I don't speak English. I am using the google translator.
I had never heard of Helen Shapiro until one of the Beatles mentioned her in a book....she had a great voice, love her serenading John, Ringo & George (he was adorable here)...too bad Paul wasn't here..lol
She sort of was, and covered a few of Lesley Gore's songs, but mainly she was the kid with that phenomenal voice. Later, she moved into jazz singing and has done some great work in that genre.
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!
Blelieve it or not, Helen is 16 years old in that clip. Started her recording career in 1961 at the age of 14. Her first hit was Don't Treat Me Like A Child Her biggest hits are Not Responsible: No Trespassing: Walking Back To Happiness: You Don't Know: Tell Me What He Said
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.
This is even better than Walking back to happiness! And I love the way she orders Ringo to turn around, and looks a little surprised by him putting his head on her shoulder! What a wonderful voice, and great timing too!

@@ianmontgomery7534 Helen's rendition was superb. As for Carole King, she was/is a major league songwriter. What more can one say about "Tapestry"?
For her age, she has a powerful matured voice full of punch...walking in happiness.

One of my favourite voices from the sixties. Such a beautiful warm melodic voice! Still a very beautiful lady with beautiful voice!

Where's Paul??? George you disrespectful Slog!!!!!
@@jimquantic Paul was preparing himself to judge a dance contest. I think it was to a song called Let's jump the broomstick, if I remember correctly.
It was a nothing, and so Helen's publicity manager lost his money and was laughed at, at the local pub.

I'll be attending a Hebron concert in Kent next month, May 2022, hopefully she'll be around for Meet & Greet after
I’ve never heard of her before, and that was fabulous!
Blelieve it or not, Helen is 16 years old in that clip. Started her recording career in 1961 at the age of 14. Her first hit was Don't Treat Me Like A Child
Her biggest hits are Not Responsible: No Trespassing: Walking Back To Happiness: You Don't Know: Tell Me What He Said
I loved this! Really blew me away!!
FINALLY WE FOUND THE VIDEO, BOYS
Hahahaha, John making faces😂
What a unique voice ♡ I love it
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.
I had heard of her already; but this is the first time I hear her. A unique voice.
One of my favourites from Helen ❤️
If the Beatles would've recorded and release that song they probably would've had a hit 😁
Yoko Ono was The Beatles

With that voice she had the potential to be the 6th Beatle - may have misplaced George Martin ( just kidding) great voice.
I concur Martin
"recorded" - but "release"?
It was a hit.. in the UK
Walking back to happiness have you not heard this ! Helen is a legend.
Helen Shapiro's voice still gives me goosebumps.
What a voice !
So strong.
Mein Lieblingslìedund auch Sängerin👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕🌺🤩🤩💕🌺
This is even better than Walking back to happiness! And I love the way she orders Ringo to turn around, and looks a little surprised by him putting his head on her shoulder! What a wonderful voice, and great timing too!
Helen is beautiful. I took one look at her eyes and fell in love. Love her voicem full and fun to listen to.
Man She is awesome. Fantastic Voice and great tune... love it
You are looking at one of the greatest singers of all time!
You're kidding! Right??
Well not quite, but almost!!
