This is probably the song that shifted from the 50s to the 60s. I've not found a sound sounding more modern than this, that was produced or released any earlier than this song. This song started the 60s revolution. Followed by Del Shannon Runaway. Massive turning point in history!
There was a Bryan Ferry jazz doc recently. Joe Meek was a producer of Bad Penny Blues, a British jazz hit, which Macca was very influenced by for Lady Madonna. This was when Jazz was popular in the UK, and the success might have given Joe Meek a financial boost. Which enabled his subsequent success. Meek got a piano sound on Bad Penny Blues which the composer wasn't happy with, but it was one of the key features of the thing :)
I remember being on a school trip aged 10 in July '61. We were at Heysham Head, near Morecambe and Del Shannon's Runnaway was playing EVERYWHERE. I remember trying catch the eye of a schoolgirl I fancied whilst on the areoplanes...the things one remembers 60 years later! Great days though, esp for transitional rock!
My 1st boyfriend at 15 yr old was called Johnny,wished I had stayed with him. He passed away with covid 2021 at 71 yr old, This song reminds me of him.so sad .
It is truly amazing what Joe Meek produced using primitive equipment and without the financial backing of a major record label. He was a great producer whose work has stood the test of time.
Like so many incredibly talented, Joe was incredibly troubled by mental illness and drug addiction. Imagine if he'd had access to the advanced treatments we have today. What could he have accomplished? Or would he have been one of the people for whom no treatments worked?
@@OofusTwillip He was also gay at a time when it was illegal in the UK. It was legalised in the year he killed himself (1967) and murdered his landlady but there was still a stigma.
@@wesleycook7687 Meek was absolutely gay. And 304 Holloway Road was not your typical "studio" ... it was a flat being used as a "studio". The echo chamber was located in the bathroom!
Joe Meek was one of the few music producers creating a complete new sound, still unsurpassed. When will a statue be erected in his honour? He did really not deserve such a sad ending of his days on earth.
John Leyton WAS the sixties. His appearance and music were the very best. He also was a movie star. By the way, all the young dolly birds in this video are grannies now. Time moves on, but greatness will always remain forever.
Yes, it has been labelled as a ''morbid pop'' song, a trend in pop music of late 50s and early 60s. Although remaining pop song structure and melody, thematically those songs dealt with tragic death, usually car accident of the loved one.
Piekne przeboje kiedys ta muzyka byla prawdziwa nadawala blasku w naszym szarym zyciu ja trafilem dopiero teraz na twoj kanal dziekuje i pozdrawiam serdecznie
The sixties was the best decade for music,, such a genuine wealth of talent around in those days, very hard to pick a favourite but this was definitely one of the most memorable songs of that era,,,
amazing song ! haunting ! This classic Along with Many others 'recorded in a flat in Holloway Road, London' - by the Legend JOE MEEK !!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Time Music History !!!!
This is so good , Joe Meek was very clever , he is getting some credit for his pioneering contribution to the recording industry. John Leyton was a good singer, all the actors here were very convincing.Many thanks for uploading this classic song and video.
Joe Meek , A Genius who was a tortured soul, the music & sounds he created in that small flat was & never will be mastered. Just Brilliant, my musical era the best.!!!
There's one person who has never really got the credit they deserve for this track, and that is Lissa Gray who performed the haunting backing vocals that really made this recording what it is. There are several decent versions of this track, but only one has the Meek production sound and that girl's eerie voice. Joe Meek productions really come alive when played good and loud, and this one can still make spines tingle 54 years on. Compared to it's chart contemporaries in 1961 it must have sounded like it came from another world. Helen Shapiro was at #2 when this hit the top spot. Talk about chalk and cheese.
The 60's was a magnificent time to be in you had groups who could really sing. Not like today's bands whom screech and shout, and you cannot understand what they are singing about. Bring back the 60'a anytime it was the golden age of song.
@@theculturedthug6609 yeah he’d only have had to wait a few years before he’d have been embraced by people who like interesting music over what’s cool. Brian Wilson and Phil Spector were both considered has beens by the late 60s but then by the 70s people had already stated to appreciate their unique genius. I think the 60s counterculture just opened people’s minds to appreciate things that were eccentric and there’s been a place for those type of artists ever since
I wouldn't swap my past 69yrs for another 69in the future I think I lived in the greatest era ever and thank the likes of my father who risked his life for our futures,your best years are surely your teenage years and the SIXTIES had it all!!!
anne sargison I only saw the last years of the 60s, but feel blessed I did. In the summer of '69 I grew six, and I knew, there would never be a better time in my life, and I was right. If we only could go back.
This is a very good song. I found it by accident on a post about tragedy songs of the late 50s and early sixties. It was never released in the states as a single. Shame.
Holy crap wow. Talk about a song ahead of it's time. That's what I love about ballad songs like these from the 50's and 60's... You'll ALWAYS hear something you've never heard before.
I usually hate it when people say a song was ahead of its time because songs appear where they do because they are the result of the influences around them at the time. However, in this case, I have to agree. This song and its style, engineering, and even subject, was ahead of its time. I don't know why it did not get to the U.S. But just around then, the approximately five-year "Teen Tragedy" run of pop music was starting with songs like ""Moody River," 'Tell Laura," "Leader of the Pack," "Laurie," "Patches," etc.
Was 1 month old when this came out! lol Remember it a few years later when my parents played it. Stuck with me and still like it today! 60's-early 90's, the best times for music!
I remember hearing this record playing from the house of an old 'Teddy Boy' in our street in the 60's and thinking why isn't he playing the Beatles? Only now do I realise what a terrific record this was.....
Good stuff, John Leyton was also known as one of the three prisoners to escape to freedom in the movie 'The Great Escape' starring Steve McQueen. Leyton escaped in a boat with Chares Bronson. Great memories.
Yes!! I was so lucky to be growing up during those magical years. And I so grateful that 21st century technology allows us to relive them, A fabulous song which personifies the age. My thanks to whoever posted.
I’m 38 and remember listening to this with my sister at my nana house on record. We played it over and over. Such strong memories of my wonderful nan ❤x
I remember waiting outside my local record shop to buy this particular record..wow..they were great days..great times too..thanks for posting this video
This is brilliantly produced. Joe Meek was undoubtedly one of the most influential and important music men ever from England. Im sure Phil Spector learnt quite a bit from him.
Quite possibly. This song does give one a replication feeling of Spector's later "Wall of Sound" technique. It's as if he heard this song and said to himself, "I've got to do that!"
@@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244Joe Meek was good but Spector was already doing his wall of sound in 1960 so Meek borrowed from him. I doubt if Spector ever heard of him. Meek probably knew that but decided to use Spector's techniques. Spector discovered the echo sounds before he with the Teddy Bears recorded his song "To Kow Him Is To Love Him"and the tape was made in the bathroom at his house. When the recording was picked up by a record company, Phil knew he had a real future. He built a small studio and added echo chambers and experimented with instruments and his employees were the singers. As time went on, the Wall Of Sound included the Righteous Brothers, the Rolling Stones and even the Beatles did tracks in his studio. He recorded Tina Turner's first solo record but didn't release it because of Ike's rage. Tina and Phil both acknowledged this and it's featured in Tina's bio movie, What's Love Got To Do With It. Too bad Leyton's record wasn't heard by Spector. He would have re-recorded it in Spector's studio and it would have been a major hit in the US. As such, it remained in England.
@@wesleycook7687 Joe Meek received a call from Phil Spector where Meek accused him of stealing his ideas. Not sure who the protagonist is however for certain Spector knew who he was.
John Lennon used the melody of an English folk song for ‘So this is Christmas’ and Phil Spectre was pleased with that idea as he had used some English folk melodies himself,just a little aside😅Even genius has it’s influences.
My dads name is Johnny and I remember this song playing when I was a child and he was going away with the army it was a Sunday morning and my mum was crying her eyes out sad but lovely memories RIP Dad love you always XXX
Hi, I'm from the the far distant future and I'd like to say that our music historians are all agreed that this music is much better than anything from the 1980s, 1990s or 21st century.
This song used to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, so haunting. I was a wireless mech in the RAF in East Anglia during the 60s part of my service. While working on snags in the aircraft, we used to drag out the job so we could listen to Radio Caroline which was anchored in the North Sea not too far from us. They played all our favourite pop music, not like the old-fashioned crap you got on the BBC Light Programme although the Beeb was great for comedy like Beyond our Ken etc. I loved the rock n roll which came out in the late 50s, too. Nowadays there are so many pop singers, it's impossible to remember them all! I now have loads of 50s & 60s music on my laptop and I play them while the bloody soaps and "reality" shows are on.
Dear anne, I too have wonderful memories of the 60s. The music was so beautiful. I can sing along to just about every song from the 60s, 70s and 80's.... But being 71 now... I forget why I went Into the kitchen......
My parents played this song often when I was a child, it depressed the hell out of me!! Started my existential angst at 6 years old!!! 😂 But it is a great song and sound and I now sing it daily to my dog! 🦝😂🦝😂
The '60s were the best days of my life. with songs like this.
1a
Me to the best time it be young I loved the fashion the music and the boys !!!😊❤❤.
I was a teenager in the 60's it was the best decade ever, and never to be repeated. How I miss those days.
僕が高校時代にヒットした霧の中のジョニーですね😃
レコードも持っていましたが、この歌を歌ってる歌手の映像を動画で見れるのはRUclipsならではですね。素晴らしい❗️

one of the best rock n roll songs from british artists back then johnny leyton and johonny kidd both sweet as

A legend
And he was a nutter

Check out Wild Wind , Kate.
Agree with Nic both a truly unique fabulous songs ❤
I come from Germany and I even know it:)
My alltime favourite. Alas I remember it from when it was first released. Play it most days.
@@davidmartin4613 Me too!😉
you can't beat 60s or 70s and also 80s but the 60s will always be the best music ever
👍 They don't make music like this today! 🎵=🗝️>❤️
My sister no longer with us used to sing this to me when I was very young x Miss her so much ...
So sorry to hear that.
❤ xx
So sorry to hear this.

Best Wishes 👍
Joe Meek was one of the few music producers creating a complete new sound, still unsurpassed. When will a statue be erected in his honour? He did really not deserve such a sad ending of his days on earth.
Agreed. A great talent. 😢
A great hit I have heard at this time listening Radio luxembourg before Beatles era.... Still appreciate, thanks to RUclips....
The 60's and 70's the 2 best eras of all time. So glad I was part of it
Hi Patricia
And the 80s
this is the first record my mum heard when she arrived here in England from Cyprus....she still loves this song :-)
Pushing 72 years of age now and I still remember the 60s like they were yesterday what a decade it was orgasmic
Bang on Mike, I'm shaw you enjoyed it all mate.
Sounds like you are coming on strong .
Pushing 77 , nothing beats the 50s/60s/70s .
A gem of a song. Hauntingly beautiful. New fan of J. Leyton. Telstar- good movie.
Listening on a Juke box is the only way to listen to this all time classic.
i was born in 1951 i think i was 12yrs old when it came out but what a tune,,,,,,
great song gave me the chills
My husband name was John he died 2019 we were married 43 years I will never forget him and there with be no one else for me no one can live up to h
Hello Michelle
John Leyton WAS the sixties.
His appearance and music were the very best.
He also was a movie star.
By the way, all the young dolly birds in this video are grannies now.
Time moves on, but greatness will always remain forever.
He is still with us. Interesting career along with the Great Escape. Must be the last actor left. Not checked.
Agree 100% and more, 67 now and we've had the best time, music wise. I was born when my dad was 42, better dad no body had. XXX
Fantastic sound, really very early 1960's and the start of the modern world.
this is not just another oldie , kitch or standard 60's rock, there is something wild , something else in this splendid song.
Yes, it has been labelled as a ''morbid pop'' song, a trend in pop music of late 50s and early 60s. Although remaining pop song structure and melody, thematically those songs dealt with tragic death, usually car accident of the loved one.

Wow such a number of hits for this site, proves that this is a great song, even today
Joe Meeks was so far ahead of his time.
A genius.
This is what we had just before the Beatles came along and changed everything forever. Echo chamber and ballads. Ah, memories.
The sixties was the best decade for music,, such a genuine wealth of talent around in those days, very hard to pick a favourite but this was definitely one of the most memorable songs of that era,,,

Absolutely brilliant was the sixties there will never be another era like it
Best ever!
Just One of the Very Best singles of 1961 as it had topped The UK singles chart For 3 weeks just a real Gem of a single
I just discover this original song. The singer has such a beautiful voice!!
This is so good , Joe Meek was very clever , he is getting some credit for his pioneering contribution to the recording industry. John Leyton was a good singer, all the actors here were very convincing.Many thanks for uploading this classic song and video.

It’s sad to die, but even sadder to get forgotten. ‘Please, remember me’.
No chance.

Bring back the 60'a anytime it was the golden age of song.
He was GORGEOUS👍👍😻😻
Hello Fiona
Fabulous nothing like it in modern songs.
A haunting classic. Ridiculous this didn't come out here in the states back then.
My all time favourate tune, better than the modern stuff!!!
One of the most evocative and timeless pop songs of all time, brilliant haunting production from over 50 years ago.
Absolutely - Joe Meek was such a tortured soul, yet so gifted.
60 now 😢

Could not agree more Pete, I'm the same age , trouble is we did not appreciate just HOW good those years were in the best decade to be young !
Agree 100%
Didn't become a teenager till 1970 wished I was born ten years earlier, the only downside of that is I would be ten years older now.
LOL Lea..They were great days..
Yes all class songs .still playing now
een der mooiste ooit !!
Oh God.........what a gorgeous blast from the past. Love all of Joe Meek's records. Only 11 then but remember having a crush on John Leyton.
The 60s really were so fantastic, so glad I was part of it. 70 now though, but never mind, I've lived.
Me too Ms Anne,but wernt it fantastic times?
Robert Meadows
As I was saying to my young lady hairdresser today, isn't modern music shite? Fortunately, I've still got one ear.
at least racism isn't as bad as used to be in the 60's!

Meek, who was suspected of chopping up a guy and leaving him in suitcases? The guy that murdered his landlady? You mean that guy?
A great moment from pop history. Just as good today as 1961.
Listening while roaming the Mojave Wasteland. Excellent addition to the New Vegas Radio mod.
Always loved this, lovely to hear it again, real music.
He was gorgeous: great voice and a very handsome man. What a decade for music. Conjures up so many memories for we oldies.

Nothing weird. I still love the music. Makes me feel good. Cant listen to the current noise.
Hello how are you doing?
Joe Meek was and still is a genius! It still sounds ahead of it's time 50 yrs later, along with Telstar. Thank you for the music, Mr Meek, RIP :(
2024, and it's still better than most of today's rubbish.
It still has a somehow ‘modern’ sound,brilliant!
Dear anne, I too have wonderful memories of the 60s. The music was so beautiful. I can sing along to just about every song from the 60s, 70s and 80's....
But being 71 now... I forget why I went Into the kitchen......
That was great!!
my mother loved this song all the time she was allive
My parents played this song often when I was a child, it depressed the hell out of me!! Started my existential angst at 6 years old!!! 😂 But it is a great song and sound and I now sing it daily to my dog! 🦝😂🦝😂
Amazing song.
1961, I was 9 years old, and this song was one of my favorites. Had forgotten all about, until now
He became a massive film star in the far East in the 70's. Talented man.
Hauntingly beautiful classic. This song has some special unique quality that's so different.
Nothing can top this
Hey Sherry
The girl I loved and lost all those years ago
So evocative and beautiful . . .
Superb song, sends shivers down my spine
When I was a girl I was madly in love with Billy Fury. Great.
I will always be grateful to my parents for raising me on this music! I love the 60s music! I've always joked I was born 30 years too late!! lol
60's, 70's were great times. Fab music, bell bottoms, platform shoes, polo neck jumpers and the wonderful mini-skirt!
