Encouraged by his then-girlfriend, American pop singer/songwriter Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Page tried to move beyond his work as a session musician for a bit of the limelight himself. The result was the solo single “She Just Satisfies,” co-written with Barry Mason, which came out on Fontana Records in February of 1965. DeShannon co-wrote the instrumental B-side “Keep Moving” with Page and sang back-up vocals on the A-side.
 

 
Page later remarked to Nick Kent in the pages of CREEM:

“There’s nothing to be said for that record except it was very tongue-in-cheek at the time. I played all the instruments on it except for the drums and sang on it too, which is quite, uh … unique. “She Just Satisfies,” that’s what it was called. It’s better forgotten.”

 

 
Not sure if I agree, it’s a nice Kink-ish curio of Page’s long career. He’s no Robert Plant, but then again he’s no Jeff Beck either... [In actual fact, he sounds like Keith Relf!]

Groovy medley, Hullabaloo 1965:  The Byrds, Jackie DeShannon, Michael Landon


 

 
Go-go time. Spike Priggen unearthed this poppy medley from Hullabaloo, 1965.  Michael Landon singing “You Were On My Mind’  is a smooth groove.
