Jackie DeShannon on Wrecking Crew Sound Track Take 2 

Could not agree more.

yes, the war was great, too bad it ended

I thought she was drafted. And she must have been a good aim to land in a foxhole.

@@errorsofmodernism9715 weird answer

Totally agree with you. We probably saw the same interview where she was asked about female role models for her when she was coming up and she said, plainly, "There weren't any". The quality of her work stands on it's own, but never forget the context!

@@tuskedbeast Yes, she apparently had never heard of Carole King, Dusty Springfield, Brenda Lee and a host of country singers, Patsy Cline for gosh sakes!

There is a different youtube video where Hal Blaine tells that he did in fact tune his drums specific ways for different songs. Jackie may have known that.

Best finish to any Steely Dan recording is Hal's dynamic drumming in the outro to their 1975 song from the "Katy Lied" album "Any World (That I'm Welcome To)."

Jack Nitzsche was co-writer. Jackie said that she participated in that songwriting session, but she wasn't properly credited.

"A doll"?! You wouldn't describe Brian Wilson as a doll. Or Bruce Springsteen. So why demean a person who was a highly respected singer and songwriter as Jackie DeShannon with such a dismissal description, just because she's a woman. Think about it.

A doll? You mean a HOT doll, Brian and Bruce are just Dreamy...

@@johnheinrich1718 good one. That shut the feminazi up

Indeed! Gorgeous doll and hot MILF!

@@cbranalli What a jumbled up Shakespearean quote. Actually, I like Jackie DeShannon's songs and think she is pretty and interesting looking. What I protest, and it harks back to the early ''70s, is that calling a woman a "doll", is an attempt to relegate her to a thing, rather than a human being. The purpose of doing this is, it makes the man who says it, feel empowered over that woman in particular and women,in general.

AGREED!! Amazing, genetics!!!

alphabeets yes,she looks fantastic...but when was this recorded? Might have been quite a long time ago. She was a very talented musician.😍😍😍

She's one hot cougar. She actually looks better as a senior citizen than she did as a young one, and that hardly seems possible. Just a marvelous, talented beautiful lady

Needles and Pins and When You Walk In The Room were both popular in 1963. The Searchers covered them the following year and had bigger hits with these songs.

alphabeets are you crazy?

Today he could ask Mike Love and then ask Brian Wilson and see who would give him a better deal.

buz butler ...It was special

Derek Bainbridge .......Good catch, your exactly right...

dponzi56 Interview appears to be some time in the 70s.

...William must be right....

William Lucas - Hey Bill, I promise I’m not picking a comment battle here, but that interview footage of Jackie DeShannon does not have a 1970’s vibe at all. Her clothes, and the image and audio are absolutely not from the 70s or even the 80s...Definitely more recent here (its hard for us old guys to remember) the year 2000 was 20 years ago & she would have been 58 then. No, this interview is much, much newer than the 70s! In fact it was probably close to the movie it’s an outtake from. The Wrecking Crew came out in 2008. Stay Healthy.

Well, here she is in 2001, and she looks a lot older than in this clip. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BAkOtoDrqrM.html

This interview is after the release of her 2000 album "You Know Me"...she would have been around 58.

Sadly? Why sadly? These were fantastic musicians, but in the 70's, as bands were allowed to start playing their instruments in recordings, a whole new spectrum of sounds and textures arose. Do you really want the same 30 musicians recording everything? Of course, now, "musicianship" consists of stealing somebody's else's work and calling it sampling.

Good one.

I have a music liver, and an oil painting kidney too!

okay that's funny!

William Lucas .....Good investigative work there....so that definitely proves you don’t work for CNN or MSNBC...fake news...

I'd say modal harmonies.

Thanks I did not know that.

Dave W She didn't. She co-wrote it and released it herself in 1974 Kim Carnes just covered it

@@Raider577 I think she asked Kim to record it around that time (mid 70s) but Kim didn't like the country music arrangement. They then went back to Kim when they did the disco arrangement years later.

The co author Donna Weiss is an incredible force herself, both in songwriting and performance.

I believe she sang Dawn Wells' part.

nobody hid her..thats the business...they ALWAYS hide session cats

Could have been...also possibly on the riff to "What You're Doing"

She had music contacts with the Beatles, ..anyway.

He wrote it with jack nitzsche

@@ledflaplin2001 And Jackie DeShannon

@@steveanddaves6530 She recorded it first but is not one of the Writers.

Yeah, in those times it was common to have the singers lip sync to their recorded songs.

oh, but she was!

Some people called them "The Clique" and some referred to them as "The Wrecking Crew." Hal Blaine was the first to remember the "Wrecking Crew" moniker.

depends what side of the pond you live and the era ! Its always associated with The Searchers in the UK

And autotune, to make talentless singers sound like nails on a blackboard.

J Foster - my thoughts exactly, thank you.. It will always, always, always, be the best if at the least, the "musicians" can, and have for awhile, "read" and "write" a musical score.. If they have no idea how to do that, how can they ever really "know" how much music is available out there? If they have never taken a music appreciation class in school, college, etc., how can they have a really deep, strong, base on what music is in the first place??? Have they ever listened to the Masters of the 14th-17th Centuries ? Looked at how they wrote these incredible music notations on paper?? And then because they can read it, they can "hear" it and play it on the piano, etc., ? And then there are all these genius Jazz musicians, that really amped it up and still do today.. And yes, the good ones, all read and write music.. I know, there are a few out there that do none of this, but that is probably the exception still today.. It is also the same with Singing.. Used to be, you maybe could carry a tune just fine, you liked to sing.. Then you were in the Church Choir, school choirs, etc.. You learned to read music, you learned how to "sing" from your base, breathing, you learned what "vibrato" is and then learned how to "use" it at just the right time, the right speed, and when to not use it.. Even something like vibrato used properly with "feeling" at the right time, does wonder for a song alone.. Or it can make one crazy to have to bear with it when for example, Stevie Nicks is doing it so badly.. All we can hope for today is that perhaps in some millenium, music will come back full circle and it will all be great again !!! Of course, all the angelic choirs in Heaven, perhaps singing in 16+ part harmonies, etc., will always be the benchmark from whence we start.. :) Best to you and yours !
