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.
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. 😊
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.
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.
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?
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 🎸💚
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 .
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.
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.🙂🎵🏴
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.
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 RUclips
@@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!
This is a different recording than the one that was a hit here in the U.S. It's still a great song with added business in a few places like the ending.
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.
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?
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.
Video filmed in 1969 at the Chelsea Embankment walkway, north bank of the River Thames in West London, England - in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Chelsea Bridge can be seen in the background connecting Chelsea to Battersea.
She was at the very top for over 15 years so id say she had a dam successful career , also shes never stopped recording and singing to this day aged 72 .
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.
@walnuttc I bought the single back in the Fall of '69 - it got in the Top 30 in England and I liked it, of course, but it's improved wth age, IMHO, just like Lulu's 'The Man Who Sold The World' AND 'The Man With The Golden Gun'; just compare those with some of the stuff around today!
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.
@pokerplayer559 I found myself looking at this 18 year-old at the library about a year ago; she was very attractive but there's lots of pretty girls around and I couldn't understand why I was so interested; then I saw this video and realised the girl had the same colouring as Lulu. At 26 I shoudn't be lusting after 18 year-olds! :-D
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!
@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 !!
strange, i could not stand lulu's voice in the sixties and seventies, but these days i am discovering many of her recordings as though they were new issues, and i find that i am becoming a big fan..
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!
Such a beautiful voice, I've always Loved her voice.
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.
You can just see how much she is enjoying singing this song. She's putting her all into it. I love it.
Great song and great voice.
What a vocalist and performer. I love the heart she has in her singing and performance!
Lulu is with out a doubt a priceless gift to this 🌎 world.
Lulu is fabulous and the song great!
The sixties were and will always be the decade of pure inspiration in music creativity......
i second that....well said
"Kids today" definitely could pick up a few ideas from back then. Lulu was one.
I wish it was back so much. I was only 10 but was so better
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. 😊
This song is from the early 1970s, but still, point taken 😉
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.
It's a rare treat to see this video again.....and to hear this amazing artist sing this song.....
Im 57 years old
Dont ask me why but this song has stuck with me my whole entire life
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.
I heard this song for the first time in over 40 years the other morning and the memorable refrain came instantly back.
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?
That is "soul" that you hear in hear in her voice.
No doubt!
Always loved Lulu’s singing.
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
🎸💚
Standing overation for Lulu!
What a Beautiful song ❤🌹🎶
always loved Lulu and this song is my all time favorite!
She's so funny, so completely lovely and such a product of the best time there ever was in music industry.
Thanks mezzomanUK for uploading this great video of beautiful Lulu. I love this track.
underated singer
The scottish Brenda lee lulu is a national treasure so love this song what a powerhouse
Love it, makes me smile
That little girl has some set of pipes! She was a great performer.
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.
Bob bsing Lulu was present at Dusty's funeral ( so was I!) and gave a very moving speech.
Jackie De Shannon too
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 .
We think alike, loved them both since the 60s! And also Jackie
what a great song from an underrated singer
"Underrated" is an UNDERstatement! She STILL rocks out! 2016!
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.
I agree!! Lulu was a great singer... love this original version over Aretha
She was always famous, especially with her hit "to sir with love"
Lulu under rated! right, and the Pope doesn't pray enough
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.🙂🎵🏴

Linda essa música na voz da Lulu ela na voz b j Thomas
E linda 👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Love lulu❤️💛💚👊🏽👊🏽
Not only a rare video, but this is a completely different vocal from the record. Doubly rare!
This could be FIRST "music video" ... Lulu is still awesome.
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".

@@ericpatterson6031 she has an amazing voice and so instantly recognizable
Heard this in a grocery store and thought it was Ronnie Spector, was kinda shocked it was Lulu when I looked it up. Very soulful performance
Música maravilhosa do final dos anos 60, que ouvi em toda a minha adolescência e juventude nos anos 70. Foi um privilégio pra mim. Gratidão eterna.
Privilégio para todos nós!!
@@joaovaz9045 quem nasceu nos 2000's não tem idéia do que foram os 70s e os 80s...
Love me some LuLu. What songs. Love the 60's. What a voice.
This is a different recording than the one that was a hit here in the U.S. It's still a great song with added business in a few places like the ending.
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 !!
Thinking of you baby and remembering us dancing in the living room.....I miss you RIP my love
Not just the song... but her amazing talent's on this " live " video.
If there is a heaven.....just drop me on that park bench next to LuLu and we will call it even
MrUsaer , Same here😇😇
So beautiful. I was young back then. Thank you, Lulu. I carry that tune in my heart.
@Branner I dig it. Her stance, walk dancing, gutteral singing voice and really, " The whole enchalada " of LuLu's performance here are outstanding !
Incomparable! She should have been bigger in the U.S.
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.
Just love Lulu--and this, her best song.
Always loved this song. Wish I had a karaoke track of this. But I enjoy singing with Lulu!
Simplesmente maravilhosa, essa canção.
Gravada, originalmente, pelo B J Thomas e interpretada também, maravilhosamente, pela encantadora LuLu.
crazy over this song oh me o my I'm a fool for you Lulu
Looking at the film you'd never guess that she recorded this song in Sheffield, Alabama
really? Got a photo from that same location?
Been searching this for so many years. Finally found
Amo essa canção e esse clip da Lulu. 1969...!❤
Wow! Where did you find this one Mezzo Man UK? Nice!
PoliteTia it was on a series of vhs videotapes of early music videos bought many years ago from a local shop at knock down price
one of my all time favorite songs!!!
Lulu's best. She remained extremely popular in the UK and likely the rest of Europe but, inexplicably, not the US.
recorded at Muscle Shoals Studios , has that feel , great tune
I like this version but Aretha Franklin made this song her own.
Yes, Aretha’s is the best version. I never knew Lulu song this song. I was only familiar with Aretha’s version.
So awesome this is a truely a jazz up song ,,LuLu Beautiful
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?
I love her she has that thing that's hard to explain. Dynamite does come in small packages.
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.
Melting my heart....😢❤️💜❤️🎵🎶 so nostalgic. 🎶🎵💜💜
Lulu is amazing she has a fantastic powerful voice
I love this song so much brings me back when I was young I will always love this song
I rather hear lulu sing than Cheryl Cole any day !
+MsFanmail Who the hell is Cheryl Cole?
jen vel she mimes on stage to get songs Lol
Video filmed in 1969 at the Chelsea Embankment walkway, north bank of the River Thames in West London, England - in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Chelsea Bridge can be seen in the background connecting Chelsea to Battersea.
She's beautiful sexy and a very good singer even as she got older she's still very beautiful
Love LULU…..great song ever greater singer !! still looks gorgeous at 68
Yolanda Quintero She's 68? Can't be possible she always was and still is so beautiful

Lulu looks just like a women I dated in the '60's. I'll never forget some glorious nights we spent together. I have never forgotten her.
she should have had a bigger successful singing career her voice is so amazing and still is
I get so high off of this song....naturally
just mezmorizing
A great soulful voice. Look up her stuff
She was at the very top for over 15 years so id say she had a dam successful career , also shes never stopped recording and singing to this day aged 72 .
Great song and lulu looks better now than she did back then, wonder how that reverse aging works? lol
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.
@walnuttc I bought the single back in the Fall of '69 - it got in the Top 30 in England and I liked it, of course, but it's improved wth age, IMHO, just like Lulu's 'The Man Who Sold The World' AND 'The Man With The Golden Gun'; just compare those with some of the stuff around today!
Rare classic
This is the absolute best song ever
Lulu also had a great role in the movie (To Sir With Love)
Great record. Played on Soul stations then pop
Like Patsy Cline doing "Crazy", Lulu sounds like she's singing only to me on this one.
QUE MARAVILHA!
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.
And all my life, I've only known the Aretha ersion. Thanks for posting this.

At 26 I shoudn't be lusting after 18 year-olds! :-D
well now you're 34, are you any different? probably still attracted to anything within 15 years of your own age, plus or minus, right? that's life
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!
Thanks, She was a guest star on a Variety Show for this taped gem!
@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 !!
AND she ALWAYS sings live when it's possible!
I ❤️ this song
I love and adore this woman and wish I could have met her all those years ago and could sang me to sleep each night.
Chelsea Embankment just west of Chelsea Bridge, looks like.
Back when POP music was really POPPING.
Os carros antigos passando que saudades.
Must be her best ever soul disc (along with "Morning Dew"), along with "Boy" and "The Boat That I Row" on the upbeat side.
PS.........When Lulu sings ' To Sir with Love ' Im in HEAVEN!!! SUBLIME.........🎸💚
é muita emoção pra um só coração momentos belos
@mrstevehartman ...and she is still going strong and looking and sounding amazing today!
strange, i could not stand lulu's voice in the sixties and seventies, but these days i am discovering many of her recordings as though they were new issues, and i find that i am becoming a big fan..
Just as exciting now as the day she sang it
fav fav Lulu song, how good is she!
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!
@mrstevehartman Yes, it's great that Lulu is still performing - always good to see her.
Whats is the city town?
London, the Thames Embankment.
great singer...one of my fave
Great movie! Great cast! Great soundtrack!
