Every UK Number One Song: She Wears Red Feathers

“She Wears Red Feathers” by Guy Mitchell was Number One on 14th March 1953 and it remained at number one for 4 weeks.

When I was first putting together my playlist, this song was playing all the time and I actually did work in a bank at the time – not a London Bank, however. I also didn’t wear red feathers or a hooly, hooly skirt (well not at work anyway).

It’s probably the first of these number ones that is fairly upbeat and not the standard “gramophone record” and after watching the video I think that Guy was possibly the Robbie Williams of his day…

OMG – PFT ME…

About the author

There’s a lot of music out there - good music. At Essentially Pop our remit is that we cover music that deserves to be heard, with a particular focus on independent artists. That doesn't mean we won't cover your old favourites - rather we hope to give you some new favourites as well.

We no longer accept unpaid PR agency work. We believe the creative arts have value, and this includes writing. As always, we will write about artists who contact us - or who we contact - for free - but we can no longer work free of charge for PR agencies. We work hard, we put in a lot of hours writing, and we ask that you respect that. Contact us for our very reasonable rates.
