Helen Shapiro Gospel Outreach

Helen Shapiro, whose singles Don’t Treat Me Like a Child, You Don’t Know, Walking Back To Happiness and Tell Me What He Said sent her soaring to international stardom at the tender age of fourteen, has been going strong ever since 1961.

Helen is a highly respected jazz singer. She performed with the likes of Humphrey Lyttelton and his band from 1963 to 2001, and also with the BBC Big Band. Helen has also been in demand as a panto principal boy and appeared in many stage musicals. In May 1995 she was the ‘gob-smacked’ subject of ‘This Is Your Life’ on BBC TV.

In August 1987 Helen became a committed believer in Jesus. Several months of searching the Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, and seeing their fulfillment in the New Testament, culminated in her being opened to the truth of Jesus as Saviour of the world and the promised Messiah of her own Jewish people.

In 1989 Helen performed the first of many gospel concerts to coincide with the release of her first gospel album The Pearl which, along with her second gospel album Kadosh (Holy) proved to be very big sellers. These concerts continued until 1993 when a change in format was required, due to the increased demand for Helen to share her story right across the UK. These ‘Gospel Outreaches’ as they are now called, allow Helen to present her challenging story. She begins by singing a selection of worship songs for approximately 25 minutes, aided by live accompaniment. She then follows on to tell about how she came to faith in Jesus. This time of testimony is interspersed with songs (including the ever-popular Walking Back to Happiness) sung to backing tracks. She concludes the evening with a powerful Gospel challenge.

In 1993, Helen’s autobiography entitled Walking Back To Happiness (what else!) was published by Harper Collins and Helen has taken her gospel tour to the USA, South Africa and Russia. Helen’s 1995 gospel album entitled Nothing But The Best includes a duet with Cliff Richard and her fourth gospel album, entitled Enter Into His Gates was also a big seller. Most of the tracks from all four gospel albums have now been put on a double CD entitled The Gospel Collection.

Helen now devotes herself solely to her gospel outreaches having come out of show business at the end of 2002, after 42 years of touring.

Churches Together in Goole will be hosting a Gospel Outreach with Helen Shapiro on Saturday, 7^th March 2009 at Trinity Methodist Church, Boothferry Road, Goole DN14 6AS at 7.30pm. Tickets £5 per person.
