Donna Loren sings "Shakin' All Over" on Shindig (1965)

More Info: www.DonnaLoren.com -
Donna Loren's live performance of "Shakin' All Over" with the Shindig Dancers aired on 7-7-65. This song was originally performed by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. It was written by frontman Johnny Kidd and reached #1 in the United Kingdom in August 1960. The original recording was not a hit outside of Europe. Instead, "Shakin' All Over" gained fame in North America after The Guess Who covered it in 1965, where it was a #1 hit in Canada and a #22 hit in the US. Donna has re-recorded this song on her new CD "Love It Away", and you can view it at: • Donna Loren - Shakin' ...
Donna Loren was the one-and-only "Dr Pepper Girl" from 1963 to 1968. She was signed to a long-term contract with the soft-drink company to sing all television and radio commercials, do all magazine and billboard advertising representing them in every capacity, sometimes sharing the spotlight with American Bandstand's Dick Clark. This relationship led to her touring in Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars with other popular acts like Diana Ross and The Supremes and singing solos in the popular Beach Party films starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. Later, she became the regular female vocalist on the popular 60's American live rock n roll TV show "Shindig" and she appeared in singing and acting roles in many iconic TV shows like Batman, The Monkees, Gomer Pyle, The Mothers-In-Law, Red Skelton, Milton Berle and various game shows. In the 1960's she released 22 singles and the Beach Blanket Bingo LP. In the 2000's she's still singing, has released 5 CD's and is on all major streaming services.

Donna appeared and sang last week at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. She still has that great voice. I asked her about Shindig, and she was justifiably proud of her work on the show. "Shakin'" is definitely a peak.

[@maureenmcgovern6119]

I also Loved her version of Goldfinger.

Wish I was there

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

Great DL vocal and superb dancing!

[@maxmason6053]

Nice to find a female singers cover of this great song. Donna Loren absolutely rocks !

[@hebneh]

This is one of my favorite songs, I really like Donna Loren, and the stark contrasty black & white visuals complete the whole package. This is definitely going to be Favorited by me. The slightly spooky minor notes of the song work well with the underlit go-go dancers across the back of the set. This lighting made a big impression on me when I watched "Shindig!" in the '60s. I remember having dreams with go-go dancers like this in them, back then.

[@johnlennon8653]

Chad Allan and the Expression recorded this song about two blocks away from where I live, about 66-67 or so. Later, they became the Guess Who.

[@mj6962]

Beautiful. Then and now.

[@8h6ed]

never herd this one before, it's great!

[@cpymo]

Try the original by 'Johnny Kidd and the Pirates'

[@humbertomadridarredondo9091]

Excelente version de esta super cancion sesentera.

[@chrisk8187]

I was an 18yr old senior in 65'. For some reason I don't remember hearing her on TV or radio.

[@redcreektex316]

There she is! The reason I watched Shindig!!! How great to see this again all these years later. I was 17 when this was on TV. My gosh, I thought she was perfection! Glad that KZbin doesn't have a limit on how many times you can watch a clip. But right now, for some reason, I have an urge to have a Dr Pepper. Thanks so much, Donna, for sharing all these fabulous clips. Oh, and from what I understand, a big "thank you" is due to David Mallet, who early in his own career, recommended to Jack Goode that Goode should have Donna perform "Shakin' All Over" on Shindig. So "thanks", Mr. Mallet, for your part in making that happen so that we have this fabulous video to watch in 2020.

[@joeguajardo5092]

Great, Great, Great ❤️

[@wayofthinkin]

Donna should have been the most successful female singer of the 1960's. She still has it goin' on !!!

[@Katin11]

+wayofthinkin She never went far because she was under contract to Pepsi.

[@DonnaLorenNow]

+Katin11 She signed a 7-year contract in 1963 to be the first and only Dr Pepper Girl, which kicked off a very successful career in film and television. At the height of her career at age 21, she chose to retire and raise a family. Photo pictorial of her career out next Spring; memoir to follow.

[@arnoldblashak171]

I wouldn't miss shindig for the world used to run home from school to watch it🏃

[@arnoldblashak171]

Donna Loren she's so hot

[@alicelam3334]

She really had it going on!

[@merc1110]

What an awesome version. Donna is multi-talented as few truly are blessed.

[@garybruno4064]

a gorgeous lady with an amazing voice.

[@deanmortis7585]

Thank you for the info. Donna is so beautiful and talented. I am 64 now, and Donna was my first major crush , in the early sixties. Donna is still very beautiful today.

[@Drumr56]

the Go Go Dancers. R Awesome..

[@steveclark8953]

Happy birthday, Donna Loren!

[@swudanst]

Love the dance moves!!!!!

[@DaddyPims]

This is cool as fuck.

[@alicelam3334]

Way cool~

[@bonsummers2657]

I don't think so

[@m.oriley8260]

My words exactly, Daddy.

[@arnoldblashak171]

Oh yeah she brings me back to a different age

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

I'm glad you posted the info on the origins of this song, as I've always wondered where it came from. Spectacular performance by Donna Loren. I recall this episode was LOADED with top-level performers including, I believe Aretha Franklin (and perhaps Marianne Faithful?) and Donna more than ably matched the fire power of the others on that show. Shindig! always did un-toppable work on staging a performance and this is no exception- great lighting and dance routine- I got the shivers!!

[@billlawlor4858]

Just threw my back out watchin' this

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

@swudanst I love the Shindig dancers so much!

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

Oh yeah! Donna on Shindig, the Dr Pepper commercials, the Beach Party movies....but this is maybe my favorite. I was 14 in '65 and so smitten with Donna Loren.

[@gymnastix]

Burton also added a dimension of cool to Rick's band--he not only sounded great, but also looked like the pro he was when you saw him play. It made for a great visual, as well good-sounding performance.

[@chariotdrvr14]

Going direct to my favorites!

[@carlahubbs3602]

She's a good performer

[@gomezesmorticia]

The dancers on Hullabaloo, Hollywood A-Go-Go and Shindig were the best.

[@patneeds1325]

Looking cool Donna

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

@hebneh Wow! I love it when someone else gets the whole lighting thing with Shindig. In fact, you must have heard every thought I had about this performance- yes, those "spooky minor notes" really grabbed me from the first. The dark shadows, underlighting at times of the dancers- even the fact that this is all in black and white make this look more like cinema than a television show. I love your comment!

[@borisboris7894]

Best 👍

[@carlahubbs8833]

That's a great performance there

Ms Donna Loren is very Talented and pretty actress, very nice hollywood career

[@teddylueken3942]

Until recently, my favorite interpretation was by The Who. No longer. This version by Donna Loren is my favorite now! Really Great. Modern pop singers can learn so much from this performance and vocal style.

[@hebneh]

@kevlar21059 I agree. I see "Clam"-like motions at 1:32.

[@altfactor]

When Milton Berle made his short-lived TV comeback in 1966, wasn't Donna Loren the regular vocalist on the show since Berle wanted his new show to appeal to younger viewers who might not have remembered his original 1948-56 variety series?

[@ngarthur1692]

Many versions about this hit. This one not bad. Love the Guess Who’s most🌷

[@TOMMYHAM]

i saw this video over on the internet archives

[@Birdlives247]

Good band. I wonder if that's live. There were some really good session players in that Shindig band.

I believe the blonde dancer in front on the left is Teri Garr of Young Frankenstein and Tootsie fame.

Donna is such a babe!!!

[@HunterMann]

Great version of Shakin' All Over! I'm looking for a 16mm print(kinescope?) of this music clip.

[@gymnastix]

And like the best mid-20th Century American sitcoms ("Leave It To Beaver" and "The Andy Griffith Show" among them), "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet" is a real slice of Americana, with a self-awareness to match its genuine sense of funplay and wry humor. Even had Ricky never sung a single note or played one lick of music, the show was fine on its own merit.

[@altfactor]

Had the Guess Who not recorded this song before she did, Donna Loren's version might have topped the charts in North America.

[@sportsmediaamerica]

no it would not have.

[@eddieparker5114]

Eddie Parker absolutely awesome wow 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹❤️💕💐🇺🇸

[@gymnastix]

Some of the Ozzie & Harriet shows are right here on You Tube. I urge all to take a look at them, for both the clever comedy AND Ricky Nelson's great musical numbers with guitar virtuoso James Burton (both guys now rightly inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame)! Many even have original broadcast commercials, and will do just fine until Rick's son, Sam, gets the entire series restored & released on DVD, a project on which he'll be working the next few years.

[@gymnastix]

He sure did. And James Burton's playing on Ricky Nelson's otherwise good records is what made them great records! Ricky was a good singer, a better than average guitarist, (especially as he the years progressed), and was certainly one of the handsomest rock singers. But having Burton play with his band made many of those Ricky Nelson records rockabilly classics!

[@superbruce]

@32251 well said !

[@jeffdunn5999]

remember The Shindogs ? Glenn Campbell is an alum....

[@arnoldblashak171]

Oh yeah I remember Donna on the Mickey Mouse Club show

[@gymnastix]

"The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet" was truly the first "TV show about nothing," which at the same time was often really saying something. To dismiss the series, as have some uninformed critics, as merely some naive period piece of a more innocent era of suburban America life is to do the series a great injustice.

[@MrAndreina1990]

nel 1965 lo ballavamo tipo twist

[@rgmsound]

I love this version... Just great! Is it on Cd anywhere?

[@DonnaLorenNow]

Not this version, but Donna recorded it again in 2010 on her "Love It Away" album: store.donnaloren.net/collections/autographed-cd-s/products/love-it-away-autographed-cd

[@rgmsound]

Thanks that is good also..I like the 60s version, it's quite mysterious and that tremelo guitar sound is very reminiscent of Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).

[@danthefan5378]

❤️💋❤️ 🌀

[@gymnastix]

As the years wore on, Ozzie & Harriet themselves were the coolest parents on the block, the ones you sometimes wished to be your own parents, or at least to sit at their kitchen table for a bowl of ice cream! Harriet even knew Ozzie and his pal Joe had wandering eyes for the younger girls in mini-skirts. And Ozzie knew, deep down, Harriet could probably shoot a mean game of pool or take off on son Dave's motorbike, if the mood struck her.

[@deborahkent3852]

Actually like this version smoother but I think they pulled in those dancers in off the street

[@TheLegendaryTim]

@Swinging60sGuy James Burton used to play with Ricky Nelson.

[@gymnastix]

In fact, Rick was already the "irrepressible Ricky" before the music bug bit him. The rock & roll merely brought in a new audience and kept them watching, even after Rick's records became overshadowed by the more exciting Britsh Invasion in the last years of the series. The show endured because Ozzie & Harriet's and their sons' storylines were often equally as humorous as Rick's earlier music was compelling.

[@arnoldblashak171]

Oh yeah that hair do is real sixties

And I sure did like shindig

Unfortunately, looks like a segregated "Shakin' All Over" stage production, but I don't know if u can necessarily blame the artists in those days. Otherwise, entertaining to watch the dancing on black & white film at least.

[@marycummings4729]

I don't know what it is about her but she never really caught on. maybe it was the material I don't know. leslie gore and connie frances were unbeatable. they both were extremely talented people, sang great songs. as far as I am concerned the best female singers in the sixties.

[@TheAssasin2525]

mary cummings I would it was because the choice of songs. Otherwise, she had both the looks and voice to compete with anyone in her era.
