Helen Shapiro - Look Who It Is (Ready Steady Go, 1963)

READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW BEFORE ASKING WHERE IS PAUL: This clip was recorded in October 4, 1963 at Television House in London. Only three Beatles were helping to 17 years old Helen to make this beautiful teenage song. Paul was not there, because he was busy in different TH studio , judging a female singing/dancing contest on Brenda Lee’s “Let’s Jump The Broomstick“. By the strange coincidence Paul gave a prize to a girl who had ran away from home four years later, which McCartney had read about in a newspaper, and so he wrote “She’s leaving home“: Also, while watching this clip, look and see that this performance is real game of face expressions. Every verse of the song is accompanied by unique facial acting from Helen and Beatles. And, if you watch it closely, you may notice that Helen actually distinguished George among other Beatles. Just look at her eyes before she comes to him and during the singing act with him. It looks to me that she was excited to communicate with George.
