This was the first number one record by a British female artiste that was self penned, no one can take that away from her, she also happens to be my Mum. God bless you Mummy xxx
I thought it was a collaboration of Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch who wrote that. Kate Bush was the first British female artiste that solely self penned and also wrote and played her own music to her song, the song was ''Wuthering Heights'' which was a number one hit 1978. Gaz UK.
I have had this on my favourites for some time....superb.The clothes worn by Ann Lynn,the black polo neck jumper ,the white mack....could be my dear wife,walking down the steps at Ealing Broadway station.we met in 1968 .l lost her this week ,August 2017 ...life will never be as good,l will meet her again one day l am sure....l think I'll keep this on my favourites...........Ron Loosley
Ronald Loosley Ive just watched this Ron, lovely song and can imagine Yvonne dressed like that back then! Lovely lovely lady and dear friend will miss her so much. Always here for you xx
I can see how this song and video reminds you of your lovely wife yvonne ,taken from all who knew and loved her much too soon,.I'm sure that in time the happy memories you shared together will help you through this sad time, our thoughts are with you Ron. Ned & Pam.
Stunning song from Jackie and i think her finest hour . Not too many people can boast that they knocked " The Fab Four " off the top spot in the UK charts
Many times l have thought the special girls l have liked over the last 40 years somehow we should have stayed together should l say it for life but l am afraid love never always work out like that it's so sad where are they now thanks Jackie for writing this lovely song
This video is so heart wrenching. Looks like 2 people v much in love who must part. And now I expect the actors have died as has the singer. The 1960s are slipping away from us all.😥
I saw an episode of 'The Saint' recently I remember watching that with Mum and Dad years ago - now everything has gone into nothing from that room including my dog, the TV set, the sofa and even the house itself - probably a similar situation that has been repeated millions of times over thousands of years - as they said in the 60s "' What's it all about Alfie?"
Jackie was a proud ° Stokey" ( Middle of the UK if your across the Pond! ) ...trust me , these where humble beginnings ... Working - Class girl made good... I still maintain , should I ever be able to get behind the Decks ... This would be a Fantastic " Ender" record at Northern Soul nights .... 200Kid
Huge thanks to @BBCRadioStoke for allowing me on air to speak of my beautiful Aunt Jackie Trent, she will be missed by many! xXx Massive thanks to all her 'Fans' mwahh X
Multi-talented and beautiful, she should have been bigger than she was. She seemed content to write hits for others but with a voice like hers there must have been a part of her that wished that she'd had the hits with songs like 'Don't Sleep In The Subway' and 'I Couldn't Live Without Your Love'.
She did release quite a few songs this one being the biggest. Big enough to knock the Beatles off the number 1 spot. I don’t think hatch would have been so popular if it wasn’t for Jackie I think she did enjoy writing for other artists. She was a big friend of Pet Clark. Even when she married tony hatch she was still writing the hits. ♥️
London is now nothing but a blandified globalist holding pen full of Okra and Starbuckery. It is no longer the essence of Englishness, but the complete antithesis of it. Pretty soon it will be the same as every other mega city, glass and steel towers around which wash the global masses, with a few architectural reminders of a once couth cultural legacy.
Ann Lynn played this part with such passion almost made me think it was real. A lovely lady I have always admired. After her divorce from Anthony Newley, anyone knows what happened to her? She is now in her late 80s. Can't find a thing on her anywhere! Hope she is alright!
Love this song . Se well sang by the Jackie Trent . Such good music in the 1960s they don't make songs like this anymore and mores the pity. The video is so atmospheric too .
The 1965 TV Programme "It's Dark Outside", which this was the Theme Tune for when it went to No.1 in the UK Charts, was thought to have been completely lost, but I have a copy of the DVD that ITV released in 2013 with the whole of Season One on it, plus just two episodes of Season Two, which was all they could locate from it.
+kevin heming +iVenge London is being totally trashed by tacky towers and ugly buy-to-leave boxes for rich foreigners; pimped out like a cheap whore by spiv developers
Fabulous song. Here set against footage from the 1965 film, Four In The Morning which was scored by John Barry. I remember watching It's Dark Outside'...every week the heroine would play this song on her record player. Created massive interest and a became a big hit.
Thank you so much for explaining the song with the video. They just didn't seem to originally be connected & I was wondering what the connection was (if any). Have recently watched S2E1 of It's Dark Outside and the song is played on a record player by an actor but it wasn't used as the theme song. In retrospect the song does go with the video chosen by Witheredgoogie but I assume it wasn't used in the film Four In The Morning (which I must now watch!).
The blonde lady in this clip is the English actress Ann Lynn. Jackie Trent co wrote and sang this lovely song. Can we go back to the 60's - just for a little while.
This song was number one on my 9th birthday. Wednesday 26th May, 1965. It would be my last birthday living in North London, as my family moved to Surrey, later in August the same year. It was definitely a sign that the times were changing for me and sadly the end of a very happy and significant part of my life. I heard this on the radio program Pick of the Pops, with Paul Gambaccini a few days ago, the day after my 61st birthday. The memories of a very special time in my life came flooding back. Which I took so much for granted then, but cherish those precious memories now. Especially when my birthday comes around and this song is played on the radio. It will always be a very evocative song for me. Many thanks for posting on TH-cam.
DONT FORGET THAT THE SONG KNOCKED THE BEATLES OFF THE NUMBER ONE SPOT IN THE SAME YEAR AS YOUR BIRTHDAY. SO YOU CAN ADD THAT TO YOUR CREDIT OF OUR JACKIE TRENT.
Songs can conjure up so many memories sweet or sad. Times seemed much happier then but maybe because we were young and carefree. But then life and it's baggage gets in the way and we come down to earth with a bump and then begin reminiscing for the 'good old days'. RIP Jackie. A wonderful singer.
@@clintdavies491 hi clint, i think in general really maybe only people who were around in 65 remember jackie and this song and the others she sang.because of tony hatch he wrote the song and played on it ?? but if i ask anyone of my age they don,t remember song or who sang it..
She and her producer husband Tony Hatch were sort of like a British Carole King - ie.mainly writing for other singers "Downtown" for Petula Clarke. "Call Me" for Frank Sinatra "Positive Thinking" for Morcambe& Wise etc.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS FROM 1965 (ANOTHER GOOD YEAR FOR MUSIC) WHENEVER I HERE THIS TAKES ME BACK TO THE SPRING OF THAT YEAR WHERE EVERYTHING HAD A MAGICAL FEELING ABOUT IT WHICH CAME TO AN END WHEN 2 OF OUR PLAY AREAS WERE DEMOLISHED TO BUILD A HOUSING ESTATE. WISH I COULD GO BACK TO THOSE HAPPY TIMES. RIP JACKIE
Another great song from Tony Hatch , Jackie Trent did a great job on the vocals It captures an era that really was special. So much was happening in films, music, design and culture in such a short time span
RIP Featured actress Ann Lynn. And watch films such as race-drama Flame in The Streets (1961), the taut thriller Strongroom (1962) and The System (1964) for further proof of her exceptional talent!
When l was a nipper l was told that whatever l did someone has always done it before, now l think it's the way that you do it, England was better in the 60's and we were all a lot happier but the same as the old 'un's said about us we are saying the same as them about the kids today, who has the blame?, the same people, it's always the parents at fault. being born in the East End l always thought we had a different aspect on life and it was all based on friendship after the war, now its based on who you steal from and what language you speak......................because it is not English.
yep, mid 50's and 60's kids as i was, grew up in a much safer and happier world than all the greed and problems we have now - outside toilet, coal fires, black and white tv... great music
This country is losing its heritage of producing these ethereal, heart string Melodys. The music industry is about marketing, money and self aggrandisement of the artist.
The scene at Chiswick where they _borrowed_ the speedboat, is pretty well the same today, but with no ugly iron barges littering the riverbank. Tower bridge is the same as is the Greenwich observatory and the bridges, but everything else is no longer there. *All* of the industrial docks have been demolished, being replaced by modern residential and commercial buildings. Even the Woolwich ferry piers have been rebuilt. The views are _very_ different today. The Woolwich ferryboat they were on was the _John Burns,_ yes the same name as me, the ferry seen in the river was the _Ernest Bevin,_ written on the side. Both were only a few years old at the time of filming. Both were taken out of commission in 2018.
I remember this song from way back and listened to it often. The video reminds me of a love that I lost as Ann Lynn looks so much like her. Needless to say painful regret is in the air.
kirilee dermott Hey I just sussed you out on the Irish Voice. It's a fantastic song and I recognised that when I was just 9 years old back then. Give it a go and bring it back on behalf of your uncle and aunt. I'll buy it.
@@thunderc45 Think that all the songs Jackie wrote should be never released again. Especially while Hatch is still alive I was asked to read an article on him the other day. Turned out hatch was cheating on her with one of her friends. SOME FRIEND. I personally never liked hatch he was a nobody without Jackie. Think the attention went to his head when appearing NEW FACES And got the name mr nasty. I never spoke to him and didn’t want to even when they were out together. The reason I say leave Jackies songwriting alone is that Mr nasty Hatch was trying to claim all the royalitys from all the popular songs were written by him and him alone claiming Jackie had no input in any of the songs. He was banned from Jackies funeral for all different reasons. I don’t know if Jackies ashes are back home now in Chesterton Stoke on Trent. Her name will never be tarnished by the likes of hatch. The people of Stoke with make sure of that. Once a stokie always a stokie. ♥️♥️ I think the song writing incident is sorted now in Jackies favour. Has for hatch i don’t know what happened to him or even care should be in the gutter people like him forget that Jackie knew and wrote top chart hits for some big stars of the day.
RIP Jackie Trent, her partnership in song and life with Tony Hatch produced this wonderful hit from my younger days, and great music like 'Joanna' for Scott Walker. RIP also to Fulham born Ann Lynn whose scenes from the 1965 film 'Four in the Morning' are used in this video. Much of Fulham banks alongside the river Thames, so her on the riverboat is so apt. Also, despite some other comments here, by 1965 Ann Lynn had already bravely participated in films that highlighted the changing demographics of London's population and its passions, without prejudice.
Ann Lynn was such a beautiful soul. Its only recently I discovered more and studied her career. Appallingly treated by Anthony Newley who discarded her for Joan Collins. But bounced back with modesty and dignity. Ann has grown on me more and more as time goes by. God Bess you Ann.
Remember this haunting melody from the tv programme...Oliver Reed in his early years...great series.... great song. Lump in my throat whenever I hear it. Thanks for uploading. Regards from sunny Spain.
Me too. Never forgotten. Can't remember who played the victim, but Anthony Ainley took Keith Barron's spot as the sergeant. I travelled from Leicester to Bristol to buy the EP - it was all sold out everywhere else! Incidentally, I still have it.
You got me going on this now. I 'googled' it, and the full cast is on IMDB.....having taken a squint, I think the victim was a young and wimpish David Hemmings, who gets intimidated by Ollie and falls from a window at a party. Ring a bell ?
Stewart Liebenstrudl That could have been - he's in the cast list. But the main victim was a young woman engaged to the the Anthony Ainley character (I remember AA so well because a few weeks later I went looking for a friend backstage in London and ran into him). The girl loves the song, and the murderer makes it look like suicide by leaving the record player playing the song on a loop. The things we remember!!
Reminds me of a rather damp April ' 65, just weeks before I entered my teens. Wonderful song with lyrics by Jackie Trent, not Tony Hatch, he composed the music.
Yes I remember watching the programme on TV and re-learned this song just last year! Would almost appear that the girl is taking the overhead down South; Crystal Palace, Sydenham, West Norwood! Remember the sound of the doors slamming hideously but enjoyed going up town past Battersea Power Station (RIP).

I understand what you write i think the same

yes they were great days,one of the best songs of the 60,s and jackie was a very under estimated singer,,
Yes it was liven. Donr worry we will be better world soon
I need to go back!...Ireland.
This was the first number one record by a British female artiste that was self penned, no one can take that away from her, she also happens to be my Mum. God bless you Mummy xxx
Today I see it as a metaphor for a lost world.
I thought it was a collaboration of Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch who wrote that.
Kate Bush was the first British female artiste that solely self penned and also wrote and played her own music to her song, the song was ''Wuthering Heights'' which was a number one hit 1978.

Here it is 2024, Jackie and this song brings tears to my eyes, I remember it well, it still sounds so beautiful.
I bought this on the Pye compilation double album back in 1972 and now in 2024 am in love with this song again (52 years later)
Goosebumps from beginning to end. Phenomenal, haunting vocals. Sublime melody and sentimental lyrics. Real music folks.
Beautiful song. I miss the 60's and 70's. Britain was much better those days. RIP Jackie

Ann Lynn was so beautiful. London the great times.the whole bloody world is being pissed away.
London is now nothing but a blandified globalist holding pen full of Okra and Starbuckery. It is no longer the essence of Englishness, but the complete antithesis of it. Pretty soon it will be the same as every other mega city, glass and steel towers around which wash the global masses, with a few architectural reminders of a once couth cultural legacy.

The blonde lady in this clip is the English actress Ann Lynn. Jackie Trent co wrote and sang this lovely song. Can we go back to the 60's - just for a little while.
I thought that was Ann Lynn. Splendid in "Strongroom". What film is the clip used to accompany this song from?
Anne White
Yes we absolutely must find a way!!
derby - the movie is called FOUR IN THE MORNING made in 1965! Judi Dench also stars - but Ann steals the show!
We should back to the 60s forever as far as I'm concerned!
She was _32_ when she made this film clip.
What a gorgeous song. Great voice. So English.
This song was number one on my 9th birthday. Wednesday 26th May, 1965. It would be my last birthday living in North London, as my family moved to Surrey, later in August the same year.

He was banned from Jackies funeral for all different reasons. I don’t know if Jackies ashes are back home now in Chesterton Stoke on Trent. Her name will never be tarnished by the likes of hatch. The people of Stoke with make sure of that. Once a stokie always a stokie. ♥️♥️ I think the song writing incident is sorted now in Jackies favour. Has for hatch i don’t know what happened to him or even care should be in the gutter people like him forget that Jackie knew and wrote top chart hits for some big stars of the day.
SEE KIRILEE DERMOTT COMMENTS ON HER AUNTIE JACKIE. AND LISTEN TO HER SINGING ? ? 👌.
This song gives my goosebumps everytime. Great track!
I USED LOVE PET CLARK. I DO. BUT AFTER JACKIE TRENT I REMEMBER THIS HIT. REST IN PEACE
Both owed quite a bit to Tony Hatch's writing !
Takes me right back to Radio London BigL days.
So evocative of those times.
RIP Jackie Trent, her partnership in song and life with Tony Hatch produced this wonderful hit from my younger days, and great music like 'Joanna' for Scott Walker. RIP also to Fulham born Ann Lynn whose scenes from the 1965 film 'Four in the Morning' are used in this video. Much of Fulham banks alongside the river Thames, so her on the riverboat is so apt. Also, despite some other comments here, by 1965 Ann Lynn had already bravely participated in films that highlighted the changing demographics of London's population and its passions, without prejudice.
Ann Lynn was such a beautiful soul. Its only recently I discovered more and studied her career. Appallingly treated by Anthony Newley who discarded her for Joan Collins. But bounced back with modesty and dignity. Ann has grown on me more and more as time goes by. God Bess you Ann.
Beautiful song i love the sixties and i can still remember them.
Great song and Singer who I believe deserve more credit.
suchhaunting melody beautiful song
smooth dankworth track.
Yes it is. I remember so well.
This song is ever so touching. it gives me goosebumps.
Remember this haunting melody from the tv programme...Oliver Reed in his early years...great series.... great song. Lump in my throat whenever I hear it. Thanks for uploading. Regards from sunny Spain.
Me too. Never forgotten. Can't remember who played the victim, but Anthony Ainley took Keith Barron's spot as the sergeant. I travelled from Leicester to Bristol to buy the EP - it was all sold out everywhere else! Incidentally, I still have it.
You got me going on this now. I 'googled' it, and the full cast is on IMDB.....having taken a squint, I think the victim was a young and wimpish David Hemmings, who gets intimidated by Ollie and falls from a window at a party. Ring a bell ?
Stewart Liebenstrudl That could have been - he's in the cast list. But the main victim was a young woman engaged to the the Anthony Ainley character (I remember AA so well because a few weeks later I went looking for a friend backstage in London and ran into him). The girl loves the song, and the murderer makes it look like suicide by leaving the record player playing the song on a loop. The things we remember!!
So beautiful
Reminds me of a rather damp April ' 65, just weeks before I entered my teens. Wonderful song with lyrics by Jackie Trent, not Tony Hatch, he composed the music.
Still listening September 29,2024❤
wow, what a song! I am 69 years old, always loved this record,
I've seen this scene from a full film on TH-cam.
I never knew of her while she was alive, but she was my kind of lady
Fantastic video starring the enormously talented Ann Lynn, must get this film! Song is great too! Fab overall!
What a beautiful song. And incredible singer.
Beautiful video & song . The 1960s were the best for everything.!!!!!
Agreed I wish I could go back. Shit living these days.

What an excellent choice of film to go with the music,very atmospheric ,London pre the big clean up.Thanks for posting.
Edwin Whitefield, London not packed then as it now is and now without any cockneys!
The clip is from "Four in the morning" and the actress Ann Lynn. th-cam.com/video/iEqZoZjEync/w-d-xo.html
@@markstuckey6639 It is still available on utube.
Sad news this morning - RIP Jackie Trent - they just dont make em like this anymore...
I agree wholeheartedly! Kind of amazing to realize that.
Sensational vocals. Wish I could go back to this time
Yes I remember watching the programme on TV and re-learned this song just last year! Would almost appear that the girl is taking the overhead down South; Crystal Palace, Sydenham, West Norwood! Remember the sound of the doors slamming hideously but enjoyed going up town past Battersea Power Station (RIP).
Simply Elegant "Where are they NOW a days"
RIP Jackie. Great voice and wonderful song writer. Another 60's star passes
RIP Jackie 21st March 2015
When music was great. Just awesome times
This used to rattle the speaker cabinet on our old radiogram when i played it loud.
Memories eh! Thanks for posting.
This is something to listen to for years to come, so pleased somebody
put this on, what a gem.
Thought they were going to crash that effing boat, great song from a great singer.
Beautiful. Sort of has a James Bond movie sound to it, I think. Would love to hear Jackie's hit, HOLLYWOOD
