Cat. No. 2732: HELEN SHAPIRO ~ THE VERY BEST OF HELEN SHAPIRO. NOT NOW MUSIC NOT2CD617
HELEN SHAPIRO WAS A HUGE STAR IN ENGLAND IN THE EARLY 1960’s. AT THE TENDER AGE OF JUST 14 YEARS SHE DEBUTED ON THE UK SINGLES CHARTS IN 1961 WITH “DON’T TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD” WHICH WENT TO #3 ON THE CHARTS. HELEN FOLLOWED THIS UP WITH TWO CHART-TOPPERS IN 1961 WITH “YOU DON’T KNOW” AND “WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS”. IN 1962, SHE SCORED ANOTHER HIT WITH “TELL ME WHAT HE SAID” WHICH CLIMBED TO #2 ON THE CHARTS AND LATER THAT YEAR SCORED AGAIN WITH “LITTLE MISS LONELY”. HER LAST BIG HITS CAME IN 1963 WHEN THE DOUBLE SIDED SINGLE, “NOT RESPONSIBLE” / “NO TRESPASSING” ROCKETED TO THE TOP OF THE CHARTS. IN 1963, HELEN HAD THE DISTINCTION OF TOURING WITH THE BEATLES AS HER SUPPORT ACT, HOWEVER, AFTER THAT HER RECORDING CAREER STARTED TO WANE AND IN 1970, SHE BRANCHED OUT AS A PERFORMER IN MUSICAL THEATRE AND JAZZ. SHE APPEARED IN THE WEST END AND TOURED EXTENSIVELY WITH BRITISH JAZZ TRUMPETER HUMPHREY LYTTLETON AND HIS BAND. THIS ALBUM COMPRISES MOST OF HER BIG HITS ALONG WITH ALBUM TRACKS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRACKS. AN EXCELLENT OVERVIEW OF HELEN’S HIT MAKING YEARS ****
