One of my favourite 60s songs, but a new version to me .... not by The Searchers!

NEEDLES AND PINS ....... JACKIE DE SHANNON (1963)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSbM_Zmx9kA


and here she is again in a 1966 performance of Needles and Pins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmjbNi3bxIU

C&P'd from YouTube-
Written by Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche and recorded by Jackie DeShannon in 1963, Needles and Pins became a big hit in 1964 for the Liverpool group, The Searchers. Here De Shannon lip-synchs the song in 1966 on the "Where The Action Is" TV show. Needles and Pins introduced the jangly folk-rock sound.

Lovely day here on the South coast and i have a long weekend too
