Jackie DeShannon
In 1964, on the Beatles tour, the warmup acts had a tough job. The many fans of the Fab Four wanted to see them and not anyone else. In Milwaukee on Sept. 4, 1964, the acts preceding the Beatles were Bill Black’s Combo, Clarence “Frogman” Henry, the Exciters, and Jackie DeShannon. One of the questions I asked Jackie was about her experiences during the Beatles tour.
