[edit] "Needles..." and "When You Walk..."

The article is misleading. While Jackie's versions of "Needles and Pins" and "When You Walk in the Room" were both hits in the USA, they were not "major." Also, it sounds as if The Searchers' remakes had success only on the UK charts, when, in fact, both went on the become sizable hits in the USA, both outperforming the earlier DeShannon versions.

Super. Make the change and add a reference, please. Luigibob 10:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accurate Chart Information

After reading this article, I'm confused by the following contradiction: Under Hit love songs it says, In late 1965, DeShannon recorded Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "What the World Needs Now Is Love" and it provided her first Number 1 hit... However under U.S. Chart Singles as a Recording Artist the article contradicts itself with, "What The World Needs Now Is Love" #7, May 1965 Which is it? A number one hit or a number seven hit? A blatant error (even if the result of simple typo) makes the rest of the article's information suspect. 66.17.118.207 13:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay. MAke it right...And place references if needed, please. Luigibob 10:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
