No doubt Elvis got a few moves from Jackie's action. Funny that I had never heard of Jackie Dennis until reading that he died age 77. Fun times back in Scotland.
Somehow I feel a young Jim Moir had this played in his household and inspired the Vic Reeves take on it’s style in “Shooting Stars”. A crisp, perky performance that says those troos were maybe a size too small or the playback tempo was a lil rushed. Sadly missed, I’m sure the footage here is a treasure to family and fans alike.
It's English but in a broad Scottish accent. Also, it's long been a thing for pop singers to put strange twists on their pronunciation of certain words so maybe there's some of that going on too.@@johncuffe4076
Well, I know what you mean but I can make out a lot of English so my guess is that the difficulty is because of the broad Scottish accent. "I'm glad, so glad, so-oh gladdd You are here-ere-errre (here) I'm so lucky to be... And no one else but me It's true 'Cos me Got you La-dee-dah Oh boy Cha-cha-cha I feel so fi-ah-ah-ine (fine) Now that you are mi-ah-ah-ine (mine) Now I ti-in-ingle Up and down my spine It's true 'Cos me Got you La-dee-dah Oh boy Cha-cha-cha You're my special angel, My be-bop baby My little bitty pretty beh-abe (babe) You...(something - could it be 'tempt') me with Your (something) loving?

FREEEEEEEEDUMB right now. So we can have more if this shyte 👍🤣
My God .Saw him in Edinburgh in 1958 .He was swinging his kilt !
I think I now understand why Scotland embraced the Sensational Alex Harvey Band so readily
This got in the charts in uk.
And it reached Number 4, not bad for a 15 year old. 👍
My grandad played this. Hated it at first. It's actually alright. Best version of the song
@@vilentman111 I've got the 45 and I think it's much better than this which sounds 'tinny'.
Jackie Dennis (8 October 1942 - 28 September 2020) was a Scottish singer.
God...We were dorks back then...i was 3....
Love it 😆
