Jackie DeShannon had several big hits as a singer, but she’s known far more as a songwriter. “When You Walk In The Room” was a moderate success for the Searchers, but reached the country Top 5 in the 90’s for Pam Tillis. “Bette Davis Eyes,” co-written with Donna Weiss, hit #1 for Kim Carnes in 1981. Of course, she did just fine with the Bacharach/David “What The World Needs Now Is Love” and this self-penned one. Jackie opened for the Beatles on their first US tour; these days she’s a contributor to the morning show on the Fab Four’s SiriusXM channel.
