Helen Shapiro - Queen For Tonight free for downloading

This is a truly unique and wondrous voice, so full-throated, melodic, rich, and vibrant.  A great singer America should have been introduced to half a century ago in great number via the Ed Sullivan Show, Jack Paar, and other programs.

She looks like a Doll! they should of made a Helen Shapiro doll back then

she looks and dressed fantastic here !

In a way, she reminds me of Timi Yuro.

Dang, what a unique and striking voice for that era. Awesome upload.

It"s in Holland. Rudi Carell show. I was the President of the Dutch Helen Shapiro fanclub and I was there. I've met Helen many times.

Such a class act in the early 60's!

Yes Sir You are the Queen What a voice, very nice

very nice, thanks, beautiful lyrics n melody.

Nothing like the recording but very Helen, Ms Shapiro could do justice to live singing, absolutely brilliant performance, better, in fact, than her recording of this song.

In my kindergarten youthfulness, Helen took my friends and me pleasurably off our feet with her energy, power, operatic soulfulness, unpretentious romanticism, tonal delivery and smooth presentation. Oh, how every a lad and lass would rush for a dancing partner! "...may I have this dance?" I shall be grateful to hear Lalah Hathaway's modern take on this song, and Barbara Lynn's "If You Lose Me" (oh yes, you lose a good thing) The melody with its lyrics and delivery of this standard classic, Queen For Tonight, is so powerfully magnetic and enticing that we all never focused on the underlined philosophical significance of the song. Today, after hearing, and singing this song (professionally) for a number of years, I now have gotten the message - the foreboding, the lover's apprehension, if you will. Someone has said it: "Will this be a one night affair?" "Will you shower me with all these verbal niceties in the future for everyone to hear and see?" What a philosophy in song! Bring back Yesterday when lyrics had had meanings and profound significance! Excellent, Helene! Thanks for letting me into your therapeutic musical world by posting such a well-sung romantic song.

I simply adore this song. I'm positive she's talking about a one night stand

thank you...Thank You...THANK YOU...for posting and sharing... Wayne

Great voice, but also a homage to the genius composer Carole King, who wrote it.

I have loved the Shapiro pipes for years now, and this rates as one of my all-time faves!
