In 1965 Jackie had a relationship with Jimmy Page. She sang backing vocals on two Jimmy Page singles. She explains: “He showed up at a recording session with paint on his jeans and he was the youngest player in the room. I went over to him to play a few of my piddling cords and he when played them back to me, I was almost knocked out of the room. Even then, he was spectacular. He wanted to split from the music world because he was getting disillusioned. Jimmy wanted to go to Cornwall or the Channel Islands and sell pottery. He couldn’t stand the business, the strain and I couldn’t stand his dream of quietness so we split, but I guess he’s changed a lot since then”.
Jimmy Page and Jackie DeShannon were together for most of 1965, and she even escorted him on his first trip to America.
