Helen Shapiro - Look who it is (colorized)

Copied from wikipedia:
Before she was sixteen years old, Shapiro had been voted Britain's "Top Female Singer"; The Beatles' first national tour of Britain, in the late winter and early spring of 1963, was as one of her supporting acts. During the course of the tour, the Beatles had their own first hit single, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the song "Misery" for her; but Shapiro's producer, Norrie Paramor, turned it down, and she did not record the composition.
In 1995, during a This Is Your Life highlighting her life and career, Shapiro revealed, "It was actually turned down on my behalf before I ever heard it, actually. I never got to hear it or give an opinion. It's a shame, really." Shapiro lip-synched her then-current single, "Look Who It Is", on the British television programme Ready Steady Go! with three of the Beatles (John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison).

Helen Shapiro was a leading British pop star in the early 60s. One of the Beatles' first breaks was touring with her. She was top-billed and they were number 5 or 6. John and Paul actually wrote "Misery" for her but her manager didn't like it so she never recorded it... By the time of this Ready, Steady, Go, the Beatles were the top group in the country and Helen's career was on the wane. They were doing her a solid by appearing in the video...

She interacts so well and is so personable and talented!

I met her at a summer Christian conference years ago. Very nice lady. I got caught in a heavy downpour and got soaked through. I ran into the dining hall and she was there. She said something like "O poor dear!" It was hot and humid before the rain so I said no worries, it was actually quite refreshing

Helena Shapiro was always relatively unknown in America, Leslie Gore filled that space with a similar sound and persona, I regret not hearing her Records when I was younger but with today's technology I finally can enjoy a great talent.

it's cool how supportive they were.

Such a beautiful song. Never boring for this. Never boring.

Helen Shapiro had a great alto voice and quite resonant as well. I was unaware she was a performing vocalist who appeared with the Beatles in this film here, and I am most impressed with her talent.

I Remember on a school trip to Corsair Bay on Banks Peninsula, all the girls (we were 12 at the time) singing Helen Shapiro’s current hit at the time WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS at the top of our voices all the way there . . . and back!

Wondrous to think that she's still alive and 'only' 76 now.

[totty]

Loved the songs and I'm 60, but never knew who sung them, but wow so young and what a voice and why she is not known to the masses God only knows.

[freddingle]

She was a hit at 14! Brilliant.Never followed it up, sadly😩

[billk]

I always think it's great when a star gives a little publicity help to their support band.

[BILLYMORGAN]

John always has something up his sleeve...

[williamschubele]

I didn't notice the first time watching, but watch the young girls in the background checking out the boys, especially John. This could not have been filmed a few months later once they became an international sensation.

[nickpalmer]

Great to see this again.zI wish she had recorded ' misery '

"Ready, Steady, Go!", October 4, 1963. Helen was seventeen. In a few months, the Fab Four would conquer America.
