Speaking of Jimmy Page

Jackie DeShannon: Best known for her hit love songs "What the World Needs Now Is Love" (written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David) and "Put a Little Love in Your Heart", DeShannon was also the first artist to perform "Needles and Pins" (written by Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche) which was later performed by the Searchers and became a hit on the US charts making them the first band since the Beatles to do so. Other collaborations included Randy Newman and one time boyfriend Jimmy Page. "Tangerine" on Zeppelin III is thought to be written about her. She also co-wrote "Betty Davis Eyes" which became a hit for Kim Carnes in 1981.
