Jackie DeShannon - Put A Little Love in Your Heart

Jackie DeShannon

[@robertwong2218]

During this crisis everyone should "Put A little Love In your Heart".

[@rperkins723]

Absolutely, medicine for our hard world.

[@victoriajohnson5461]

Amen.

[@TheZoloto56]

Agreed. A little love would be a good thing.

[@michaelgaynor6866]

Is the World listening??? Put a little Love in your heart!❤

[@lukaslykus9599]

LOL!! It's amazing how only something like this resounds during a crisis. Try putting a little love in you heart before, during and after a crisis. I'll never understand the common person. Actually, I do. Dull, boring and predictable. Try expanding your vision beyond what is in front of you. That goes for all the other dullards that responded to your comment. Sorry folks, but you are just that boring and predictable. Try stepping it up a bit if you can.

Those words are so strong and so powerful we need to bring this back we need to stop the hatred in this world in this country another day goes by and still the Children Cry Put a Little Love in Your Heart if you want the world to know we won't let hatred grow Put a Little Love in Your Heart profound how powerful are those words everybody needs to put a Little Love in their heart we all live on one small planet and this small Galaxy and life is too short for hatred let's put a Little Love in Your Heart just my opinion thank you.

[@LeslieTarwater]

I know she was with the Beatles on one of the early tours; I met her as a sideman in San Jose, CA in July '66. I became one of her friends for the short time we had together, then met up with her in '69 as a sideman on her album "Laurel Canyon". I am currently attempting to contact her........time will tell. She is a very smart person, and has forgotten more than most people will ever know about many things. One fine person for sure!

This summer of '69 classic is imprinted on my brain forever. Gives me goosebumps to this day. I wonder how Ed Sullivan reacted offstage to Jackie sneaking in the peace sign over & over. Ms. DeShannon, THANK YOU.

A great all-time classic tune of pure hope and joy sung and delivered sweetly here in an earthly performance of an angel. Congratulation, Jackie on being enshrined forever this week into the Hall of Fame! About time!i

[@robertwright2852]

The Kentucky-born DeShannon was a born talent, started voice lessons at about age 3. She was one of the first female singer-songwriters of the rock 'n' roll period. This tune, her best-received, charted at number 4.

[@aday1637]

This was #1 pop in summer of 69 while I was being trained for Vietnam/Army...thought it was ironic then...and still do. Love as a pop song while all the killing was on-going.

[@kellyhamilton6238]

My piano's claim to fame is that Jackie De Shannon played a few bars of this song on it while she was still writing it circa 1968. What a great song! What a great lady, too, recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and rightly so.

[@vrinda5303]

She's in the Songwriters' Hall of Fame, not the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@kellyhamilton6238]

Vrinda Kanchan Thank you! I knew it was some Hall of Fame. I am glad she's being recognized. She also wrote "Bette Davis Eyes".

[@vrinda5303]

Kelly Hamilton You're welcome! She should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but their crooked voting system won't allow it. "Betty Davis Eyes" became #1 on the Billboard charts four days after I was born!

[@OneHitWonderGuy]

Vrinda Kanchan This is coming from an "obsessed" music chart researcher: just to let you know, as with all the various Billboard charts, the "official" chart date is always the week-ENDED date (in most cases a Saturday). In real time, "Bette Davis Eyes" would have become #1 on Sunday, May 10, 1981. Cheers!

[@vrinda5303]

A tremendously talented singer-songwriter who was 30 - 40 years ahead of her time. Elected to the songwriters Hall of Fame, she would have produced her records, too except the misogynistic executives blocked her from the engineers booth because, as she said, "they were afraid I might bake a cake"-Smack!

I also miss those times so much; with 1 exception. The summer of 1969 was when the Manson clan committed those horrendous murders. Many people have said that the love & peace, hippie flower child movement ended on August 9th, 1969, although the 70's were also good times. Since then, this country & the world just keeps getting worse with no end in sight. I'm just grateful that I was here early enough to enjoy some of the good times. Sorry for sounding a bit corny; but that's how I feel.

Aug 20, 2020: My high school boyfriend, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez of Albuquerque loved this song. As a naive idealist, being killed in an auto accident at 23 didn't give him time to learn that this world is run by wicked, corrupt men. There has always been an 'abundance' of resources to feed EVERYONE, so the complexity of managing 7.5 billion people remains a monumental task. *Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1 Sad but true.

The thing with Jackie DeShannon is that she did not seem to like publicity. Is she still living today, she seems to have totally disappeared, I don't know.
