Spot on. Songs were about love, now they are about the opposite. All negative emotions

So pretty and with such a big voice

My favorite song by Her " i don't care" is there a video of it

And I suppose there hasn't been any decent music written since you were 21, that sort of attitude makes me avoid people your ages, how arrogant, by the way, I'm 67 and the best music hasn't been written yet, thinking anything other than that just demeans younger generations. I love Helen Shapiro, I love lots of old music, but it isn't the be all and end all.

What a magnificent singer

Yes ✌️🥰

You are absolutely right!

And cut some very good jazz albums in her later years. No autotune in those days.

Aye, this is true.

l met my wife in Bethnal green 65 years ago,she sang in that area,l still love this song xx

Agree so much Patricia - we were very lucky to be young in those times, (73 now!).

Wow..., Is now your bad day?

Me too. Her voice runs deep into my heart and mind.

Ah, yes , Radio Luxembourg. Where were you ?

Unfortunately US promoters were falling over each other to book British beat groups, many of which disappeared without trace. Having topped the bill in the UK at 15 with the Beatles as a support act, essentially she became a has-been before she was out of her teens.

Thanks for the info @@way2deep100

Helen did come to the US! She was on the Dick James Show early in her career. Surprised 'You Don't Know' that.

Actually Helen appeared on The Ed Sullivan show and I believe she recorded an album in Nashville Tennessee.

@@theobxobx show me the video.

Paul im 76 i still adore this beautiful song ,, what a stunning voice this lovely girl as lolx

It's been playing over and over again in my head too. It sounds better today than it did back then (a better audio system). Your maths is a little bit off though. If you were 71 in 2021 you would have been born in 1950, so you would have been 11 in 1961 when this was a hit.

@@billedifier8584 ​ haha ,You are right! I don't know why I wrote 8

You are VERY happy that You have been born so long ago! You lived in more clean time and hope to achieve the most clean place soon. And to listen her celestial voice EVER!

Thanks to modern day technology. We can listen to fabulous music 🎶 over and over again. Absolutely wonderful 😁

Format Jelly your kidding! What’s not to like about that! They must have no heart...very sad ....

the downers are stupid..

I had a crush on her as teenagers do - that ages me ;-)

@@peterbonning2455 nope. Not everybody has to like somebody. They came to the video and saw something they didn't like. Do u like every artist u ever saw? They might like other music or her biggest fans who choose her other songs. I for 1 love this song I'm only 36

@@victorcarroll4463 :v ------ Everybody loves my body sometimes.

Me too. Saw her in concert in Manchester about 55y ago. I Bet you'r dead jelous.

@@misssteak5646 Not jealous. Happy for you.

You would have thought she was older than 15yrs fantastic voice and wonderful memories.

Remains one of my favourites to this day.

Ruth My twin sister and i are the same age as Helen ,,,Her voice amazed us as young girls ...She was a fantastic singer ,, We are so sorry she passed away a few weeks ago lol xx

@@oughtonoughton2634 She’s not dead!

She was talking about her sister, Helen is still very much alive making gospel records now

LOL means laugh out loud

@@jamescarson7532 Yeah, I know that, but it’s a very strange abbreviation to put in a sentence after you’ve just announced the death of your sister!

U r so right. She is stunning.

Beatles and Stones are from the same years and are treated fair enough. I guess she just got married, had kids and that was the end of her career.

@@mikethespike7579 Not quite. I saw her about 3 years ago and she can sing just as well as she could when she recorded this beautiful song.

She deserved a much longer chart career. Wonderful voice , superior to many other sixties female singers who went on to greater success.

Pauline Drewery I love your story it must have been fantastic to tour with all those stars

@@denisburgess2966 👍💜

You have had the great life toured the world it's really a dream for lots of people including me, wishing you having a continue happy life all the way 🙋💕🙆

@@Qsv7RQ3ovB Thank you, you have to chase your dreams, I came from a large family, money was very tight, but that just urged me on.I joined a group and after winning opportunity knocks twice, we turned professional and had a recording contract.Our first single was recorded at Abbey Road, and we were told the Beatles were recording in another studio ,I hoped for a glimpse, but no such luck!We spent the next six summers first class entertaining on cruise ships, we spent three months touring South Africa with Max Bygraves, and in between worked with all the top stars of the day, really more than than I had dreamed of.We never made it to the top but I had a great time not getting there.One of our singles is on utube, The Freelanders, Turn of the Century.💙💚💙

@@Qsv7RQ3ovB We,re not The Freelanders band, just The Freelanders, I think there might be something on Facebook too, but not sure.x

Jane Oughton i still feel the same lol xx Jane x

Beautiful voice.

Same for me...

She’s still around

The best British female voice ever!

Certainly no sissy but a boy with taste!!! Good on you

💓💓💓💓👍👍👍👍👍💜🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Michael i like your comment , my word you are going back to the beginning ,, Helen still as a fine voice ,, She was so natural and powerful x lol Jane x

It surely does.

WILLIAM Hogarth What a fantastic singer she is and if you look back their are many great singers at that time , British and American Male and female singers ,when I am down just listening some old recording and. I fill good for a while ,🇬🇧

Quite right Jean. I remember when she first appeared on TV. What a voice. So many Young Men like me fell in love with Helen. she was wonderful!! I'm an old fogie now in my 77th year!! I still remember those glorious songs

Yes--14. She later turned to Jazz musically, and was modically successful.

@@MrDaiseymay that’s incredible

The modern playback equipment is great though. Incredible to be able to hear how good these old tunes were.

Hello Fiona, How are you doing?

Vincent the 60s rera was so wonderful in many ways ,,Its music was so diverse we had a great choice ,, i will always adore those times until eternity lol x

this one of our (group family ) 45's that Christmas never forget

Me too - this is one of the few songs that has come right through life with me and still sounds as special as it did when I was 12, (58 years ago!!).

From memory her "Please don't treat me like a child" video on YT shows her with her schoolmates in Bethnal Green. This was her first record made when she was 14. I think they let her leave school about three months early to promote her singing career. Well worth watching if you have not done so already that is.

paul smith too true!

She was special, her voice had old soul tones for a teenager, very rare!

Me too.

Suze me too lol x

So was i 😊

I was around when it released in 1961. Became a #1 in the UK and those Commonwealth countries, which at the time were still of predominantly very 'British' origins, in their character, governance, trade and distribution. Played endlessly at its peak on the radio of the day, which was a good thing. Helen had a gifted voice, and this song presents it so pleasingly well. I still love it too. Timeless.

paul , none to beat it then now and always ,, long live the 60s era lol x

terry lear You make it sound like she is dead!

No she hasn't died just grown up. We just don't hear music like this anymore.

@@terrylear4219 You grow up and learn to type correctly then.

@CanadaCommunity Org Why are you showing us that charlatan?

What a great singer, can't get enough of her
