Plenty of great girly singers in the 60's, Dusty, Cilla, Petula, Sandie, Lulu, Cher, Mama Cass, Dianna Ross, Gladys Knight.......the list goes on.
I like them all but I think Dusty had a lot of class and she was probably my favourite

Ohhhhh!!!!!!! The love that is Dusty! I listen to her every time I drive! I absoloutely adore that woman! She has such a beautiful smokey voice and You Dont Have to Say You Love Me is beautiful. My favourite one of hers (well, not hers hers) is her version of Yesterday When I Was Young.

I guess maybe it depends on who I've been listening to. Today was a Jefferson Airplane kind day so maybe now it's Grace Slick. I don't do well with these "who is your favorite..." questions. LOL

But back to Jackie DeShannon. She wrote and recorded When You Walk In The Room in 1963...
That sound influenced several Liverpool groups like The Searchers...
and Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas...
Jackie DeShannon was asked by The Beatles to open for them on their 1964 United States tour.

When You Walk In The Room is still a popular song today. Liz Phair sang it in an episode of American Dreams... I kind of like her...a lot! Kev, mate, you'll like this...  |
