1969 I was 10-I'm 63now ...and LOVE this one even more so! the Lyrics dedicated to my Husband that even now 35 years later I'm in LOVE as if it were yesterday... even better I see and feel that the Thrill of being so are Mutual. I remember LuLu :To Sir with Love.
Says everyone about the decade of music in their formative years. 😊 For me it’s the 70s. For others it’s the 80s, etc. The truth is that every decade had a lot of classics, but mostly there were mediocre tunes and also a lot of crap. 😊
You will be amazed to learn that I only "discovered" her several months ago, when I found "The Boat that I row" here on youtube. I remember liking the theme song of "Man with the Golden Gun" from years ago, having no idea whatever that she was the one singing it.
Lulu always had a great and dynamic voice full of to the point energy and sincere power. This song is one of my favorites by her. It should have been number 1 on the charts and definitely top 10. Number one in my book and one of those under rated songs.
Lulu... sure knew how to dress for the part. Her cardinal and gold outfit, stands out well against the shadows. Lulu's " walking dance ", is as sexy as it is entertaining. One of the finest early videos, that I have seen.
Man I just LOVE this version done So Good by Lulu! She just reaches Into my Heart with that Pure Urgency in her Voice as she belts Out the chorus.........oh My. Thank you for Posting this Beauty 🎸💚
I always new Lulu could sing, but I saw her on tv a Blues special/documentary once (can't seem to find it now?) and she was singing the blues and I tell you she was as good as it gets, she blew my mind!
I saw her, more than a few times, in Glasgow, before Shout came out. A very underated singer - her hero was Alex Harvey (say no more, just listen to Alex in his pre- SAHB soul & r'n'b days and his version of Shout). Also at that time the wonderful Maggie Bell was on the Glasgow scene. Lulu made the decision to take Marion Massey's advice and what a career - movies, her own television shows (look up the famous Hendix one)., stage shows - she's done the lo,t has wee Marie. Even won the Eurovision. A number one in the States, too.
Lulu and Dusty both have that fabulous rasp in their voices and could probably sing each other's songs lol..Lulu was terribly under rated and should have recorded more but To Sir With Love was her anthem.
Not underrated at all she was a MASSIVE star but it all happened so young from age 15 but when you consider she was about 29-30 here she had a pretty long stint at the very top here and across Europe with a few hits in the US so not underrated at all .
LuLu really knew what she was doing in this great video. Her Red and Gold outfit, stands out well against the shadows. Her looks, mannerisms and " dance walking " are sexy as heck. Today, we bow down to the likes of Lady GaGa and JayLo. There's no comparison to this great singer and actress ! LuLu, you pop my cork !!
68,69 there was too much competition. Elton John, David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Doors, Joe Cocker, Janis, Hendrix, Jackson 5, Bee Gees, The Who, Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, all at their peaks. It was 2-3 years in music that creativity sprouted.
Beautiful song and video, I bumped into lulu many times in london (my hometown) she is great lady, part of the 60 real music culture, thank's for sharing.
WOW!... so nice..... LuLu and this video makes me want to be young and back in the 60's again so bad!..... LuLu inspires me to get a new t shirt and hit the treadmill. Does she inspire you?
Here I am, again, watching the lovely LuLu singing this masterpiece. At least once a year, I watch this video, it reminds me of much better times, when I was young, and riding my ‘70 Triumph Bonneville with this song playing in my head, on a warm Autumn day. If I could only experience that again.
Nasci em 61 e Graças a Deus vivi a melhor época da minha vida, ouvíamos músicas maravilhosas e essa era uma delas. Obrigada sou de São Paulo Brasil ❤❤❤❤
I couldn't have said it better. I had really only been familiar with "To Sir With Love," so this performance is... well, like you said: Dynamite. Incredibly Soulful voice. I can't stop playing this song and I love the video.
I agree that she was underrated. That smokey/rough tinge to her voice along with lots of power and emotion in her delivery was mature beyond her years. Like Cilla Black and Shirley Bassey, she should have been bigger here in the states.
oh me.....oh my! Stunning! Thank you for posting this. Just what is in the drinking water over there in England that these Brit songbirds have SO much soul?
Actually the supposed first music or "rock video" was of the late Ricky Nelson on his fathers's weekly TV show "The Adventures of Ozzey and Harriet circa1950s/60s)). He sang the song "Travel'in Man". People believe that it was the first "true" rock music video because of the way it was shot super-imposing various scenes. There are still arguments to this day who actually shot the first "music video" but many supposed experts believe that there is a very strong chance the first music, pop, rock video was of Ricky Nelson. I'll bet you can find it here on RU-vid
@@inkey2 Thanks for the history Inkey. Awesome info ... will try and find that Ricky Nelson video. (PS: I STILL have a crush on my Lulu. Last year -- going strong at 70 -- she was in the musical 42nd Street in the West End!
What a lovely video! I've got that record - it was Lulu's first for Atlantic Atco. Lulu's previous record was 'Boom Bang-a-Bang' for EMI Columbia - I've got that one, too!
@TheNickAllardyce It always amazes me, how you English chaps ( and chapettes ) really put out so much great music. I mean, The Beatles, The Stones, Eric Burton and of course LuLu. Well, the English invasion of the earlier 60s to be sure. I love listening to Paul as he is a trooper and The Stones still tour ! AMAZING !!
Great song - very, very cool early video! Shot on film, probably with a Nagra providing playback for lip synch! Wow, sure wish I could have been part of making those vids. Thanks for posting!
Good song and promo. P.S. Did you know? This song also appeared in Super Hits of the 70s Have a Nice Day Vol.6. It was a bonus track. Good volume, it also featured Signs and Sweet City Woman.🙂🎵🏴
