Over You by Jackie DeShannon on Hollywood A Go Go

Another catchy tune with the gang at HAGG

[robertchesnosky]

IVE BEEN ONE OF JACKIES BIGGEST FANS FOR YEARS. ONE OF HER GREAT TALENTS IS THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO THE CHANGING MUSICAL STYLES OVER THE YEARS. JACKIE WE 💘 YOU.

[recordguy]

the song is Over You .Paul Revere and the Raiders had put it out around the same time. Originally an R and B song out of New Orleans. Jackie is so great in this.

[fosbury]

They'll be some slow walkin'
Gonna be some sad talkin'
The'll be some flowers bringin'
Gonna be some sad singin'
Over you
I said over you
Over you, pretty baby if I ever hear you say we're through.

There'll be some long black limousines
People peepin' from they window screens
Parade of cars with they headlights on
Alla that will be goin' on
Over you
I said over you
Over you, pretty baby if I ever hear you say you're through.

I'm gonna slay you baby, Ooh
Over you, pretty baby if I ever hear you say you're through.

All your folks will be dressed in black
Ridin' a long, black Cadillac
Yes, baby they'll be puttin' you away
Tha funeral home be havin' business that day
Over you
Over you, pretty baby if I ever hear you say you're through.

They truncated the original lyric here, which contained this additional stanza before the final one:
There'll be a hole abouta six foot deep
For you baby to take your sleep
Into a pine box and down you go
Where you will stay, rain, sleet or snow...over you

A great clip. Could have done with more of the dancer on Jackie's right, mind.

Jackie recorded this song only about four years before she started to date Jimmy Page!

Yeah that’s an Aaron Neville song from about 1960.
