All of the Jackie DeShannon classics featured on this album are like mile markers on pop's journey through the decades. First time available on vinyl.

'Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand, put a little love in your heart.' That was Jackie DeShannon's opening mantra of the modern day classic 'Put A Little Love In Your Heart,'. That 1969 single release took the singer-songwriter to the pinnacle in popular music, selling over a million copies. Virtually all of the Jackie DeShannon classics featured on this package are like mile markers through the decades. 'When You Walk In The Room' written by Jackie, and 'Needles And Pins' written for Jackie by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono, represent the early 1960s Jackie. As the sixties evolved, Jackie DeShannon grew as a writer and recording artist. Jackie had the good fortune to join The Beatles in 1964 as an opening act on their first US tour. She performed with blues guitarist Ry Cooder at the legendary Ash Grove, and wrote with fellow Metric Music Publishing song scribe Randy Newman. Folk-rock pioneers The Byrds featured Jackie's original 'Don't Doubt Yourself Babe' on their debut album. In England, she composed and recorded with a pre-Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page. Jackie achieved a top ten hit in 1965 with her exquisitely soulful rendition of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's 'What The World Needs Now Is Love.' The recording - which earned three Grammy nominations, including Best Female Vocal, Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Vocal and Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Single - became the definitive interpretation and was a recent induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Jackie firmly established herself with a song of her own, on her own terms, with 'Put A Little Love In Your Heart,' bringing her another Best Contemporary Female Vocal Grammy nomination. Her work with Donna Weiss took DeShannon into the '80s with 'Bette Davis Eyes,' breaking Kim Carnes as a major artist of that decade. The song was one of the US' first 'new wave' hits and earned Jackie the 1982 Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
