	Helen Shapiro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helen Shapiro (born September 28, 1946) is a British singer.
		Helen Shapiro was born in the East End district of Bethnal Green, London, the granddaughter of Polish Jewish immigrants.
		Helen played a banjo as a child and sang with her brother occasionally in his high school jazz group.

	Helen Shapiro
		Shapiro's voice showed the maturity and sensibilities of someone far beyond their teen years -- her depth of emotion, coupled with the richness of her singing, made her an extraordinary new phenomenon on the British pop scene.
		Rather, Shapiro was much more of a female pop-rock crooner, almost a distaff Bobby Darin, with a style all her own, and should have been able to cut a path for herself well into the '60s in the music marketplace.
		Shapiro's career at EMI ended in 1963, and her periodic attempts to resume recording at Pye, DJM, and Arista over the next decade failed to generate any chart action.

		Shapiro's voice showed the maturity and sensibilities of someone far beyond their teen years; her depth of emotion, coupled with the richness of her singing, made her an extraordinary new phenomenon on the British pop scene.
		Shapiro wasn't remotely as soul-influenced as Dusty Springfield (though Shapiro's "Helen in Nashville" album from 1963 does sort of anticipate Dusty in Memphis), or a raspy shouter like Lulu, and there wasn't much of the cool teenager in her in the style of Sandie Shaw or the wounded teen softness of Lesley Gore.

	Shapiro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shapiro is a traditionally Ashkenazi Jewish surname derived from the German town known today as Speyer.
		Thus, the family is a play on the name of the town, and the hebrew word.
		Since the name derives from an area, not all Shapiros are related, rather, they come from a common area within Germany.

		Helen Shapiro hopes to bring her gospel evenings to Australia in the near future.

	HELEN SHAPIRO
		Helen Shapiro was born September 28, 1946, in the East End of London, the granddaughter of Polish Jewish immigrants.
		Helen's next two singles, "You Don't Know" and "Walking Back to Happiness, both went to No. 1 for a total of seven weeks and made her England's top recording star, but already she was beginning to chafe under Paramor's artistic direction.
		Turning seventeen, Helen had become a prepossessing young woman, which was all well and good, but to her fiercest fan base--girls near her own age--she was now a rival instead of a surrogate girlfriend, and like so many other traditional pop artists she was swept aside by Beatlemania.

		Helen, the daughter of a Jewish tailor, swiftly followed that hit with two Number One singles, including her best known song Walking Back To Happiness.
		The irony was that Helen was still younger than the teenagers who were taking her place and had grown up being inspired by just the same artists.
		Today, still only in her early fifties, Helen is in the middle of a successful second career, touring as a singer with Cliff Richard and jazz stalwart Humphrey Lyttelton, releasing religious and devotional records and acting in the theatre.

	Helen Shapiro review by The Phantom Tollbooth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Helen Shapiro is a name that some may remember from the 1960s, but this album is a far cry from 60's pop music.
		Instead, it has a very strong Israeli folk feel (probably due to Helen Shapiro being a Messianic Jew) and is packed with worship songs.
		Helen Shapiro has a rich voice, mainly at the lower end of the female range.

		When Helen's brother Pollux (Craig Kelly) tries to rescue her, both he and Theseus end up dead and Helen returns home, where she is forced to marry the powerful Menelaus, king of Sparta (James Callis).
		Guillory landed the role thanks in part to one of her previous films, which Helen executive producer Adam Shapiro happened to see on a flight from Los Angeles to London.
		Shapiro is no stranger to stories about larger-than-life characters, having also over- seen USA's Attila and Sci Fi Channel's Dune.

		I think it's fair to say that neither Helen nor Kathy made it beyond a certain point for a number of reasons one of which was that the likes of Dusty Springfield, Lulu and Cilla Black, arguably the three most successful of their kind (I don't include Petula Clark in this group).
		Helen perhaps lacked the glamour that would have carried her through but also didn't have the common touch that Lulu has and Cilla certainly has.
		Helen Shapiro about three years ago toured here in UK with The Sarchers and The Swinging Blue Jeans and was well received in my view but sadly she as not appeared on anymore sixties package tour type bills which are now popular here in UK.

	Helen Shapiro
		Although one or two of her recordings from the late 1960s were picked up by enthusiasts of 'northern soul' and have become quite valuable most of her singles from the Paramor era are collectable but not highly prized.
		Instead, we find a very young Helen providing us with a perhaps slightly naive foretaste of what is to come from her in the years beyond her pop stardom.
		During 1987 Helen became a Christian and has subsequently become an enthusiastic singer of Gospel music, and this is increasingly the focus of her output.

		It was when Helen discovered the Jewish roots of her faith and recorded a heap of songs from Messianic Christian sources that something special was sparked.

		For, in 1989, after years of spiritual searching and in the midst of a successful career as a jazz singer and theatre performer, this Jewish lady gave her life to Jesus Christ, since becoming highly popular for her gospel performances.
		While perhaps not everyone's cup of musical cappuccino, this bulging volume nonetheless ably evidences the reality and depth of Helen's faith as well as her enduring (and endearing) vocal prowess.
		At last, after 40 years of heavy touring, Helen is finally taking a bit of a rest, though still keen to do special dates.

		Perhaps surprising is a single-track appearance on a CD by the esoteric pop group, Radiohead, recorded in July 2000.
		For many years he did gigs with his own trio and with other freelance groups, reaching a point when many top international musicians were happy to have him supporting them.
		He is also a superb and sensitive accompanist, as singers Maxine Daniels and Helen Shapiro have readily testified.
