DeShannon had her biggest successes when I wasn't even an idea in my parents minds, so that's an handicap trying to evaluate some of these records I imagine.<BR/><BR/>However, loin sensation it is so far as I could find out. I didn't just go by ear on that one but actually compared the lyric sheets I could find plus a little back ground info on the record here and there. And let's be honest, loin sensation does give the 45 just a little extra spice ;-)SoulBoogieAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166276731612362941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642032278032679287.post-36595443266608573952008-11-09T10:24:00.000-08:002008-11-09T10:24:00.000-08:00I've never seen such a misguided analysis of an ar...I've never seen such a misguided analysis of an artist's work or popularity. Obviously, you don't get it. First of all, she didn't write "loin sensation", it was always "glowing sensation". Clean out your ears. Now, when I first heard the record in 1963, I can tell you something started happening in my loins, but that's to be expected from this great sensual performance. Of all the thousands of records in my collection, this one has ALWAYS been my favorite "girl" record, followed by her other two great songs, "THE PRINCE" and "NEEDLES and PINS". (I like those better than RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH by TINA or IS IT TRUE by BRENDA LEE, two more great girl classics) I have always thought that if the act of felatio could be set to music, it was on those three records by Jackie, and that makes them all quite sexy, from a guy's perspective. The SEARCHERS treatement of her song turned it into bubblegum, no guts, just another sure fire hit for anything British at the time. Albeit, her real pay day came later with the shlock ballads, she was obviously ahead of her time with these true classic rockers. "NEEDLES and PINS" predated FOLK ROCK by a couple of years, but the guitar riff is pure FOLK ROCK. The Jack Nitche arrangment on WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM Predates BE MY BABY by a month or two, so Jackie and Nitche should be credited with coming up with the WALL OF SOUND in advance of Spector, since Jack did all of his charts too. In the final analysis, for a white girl, Jackie DeShannon was ONE HELL OF A ROCKER, as demonstrated on those three records- certainly equal with Brenda Lee, Wanda Jackson and JoAnn Campbell. I can't think of any other white women who really rocked back then, can you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642032278032679287.post-63502520019772001552008-05-08T11:36:00.000-07:002008-05-08T11:36:00.000-07:00Interesting, I'm not sure how Janey is a re-write ...Interesting, I'm not sure how Janey is a re-write though. A very different song structure. Though the lyric could be seen as a classic answer song. "When You Walk In The Room" is a song about loosing heart essentially. "But I only have the nerve to stare" Jackie sings of herself in relation object of adoration. But shouldn't it have been "Jackie Don't You Loose Heart" then?SoulBoogieAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166276731612362941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642032278032679287.post-48822229206114271412008-05-08T11:28:00.000-07:002008-05-08T11:28:00.000-07:00I remember when "Jeannie Don't You Lose Heart" was...I remember when "Jeannie Don't You Lose Heart" was released, someone (Vin Scelsa?
