Thread Name: Helen Shapiro's Birthday
Subject: RE: Helen Shapiro's Birthday
The Fabs wrote their song "Misery" with Helen in mind to record it, but producer Norrie Paramor turned it down. She was a biger hit than they were at the time. Poor advice
She also recorded the first version of "It's My Party", but her producer turned that one down too. She'd recorded an album in the USA, "Helen In Nashville" in about 1962. Poor advice, although Lesley Gore's hit version is far better.
She was born in 1946, so that makes her 60.
As a non-Jewish Jew myself, I can never understand why a Jew wants to become a Christian. Wasn't the first religion bad enough already?
