Donna Douglas - The Message In A Bottle (1962)

[PrideofWhitey]

I used to love Elly Mae and all her critters! I saw her a few years ago in Tennessee.

Hi Donna, please get in contact with us through private mail. My name is Victoria Douglas, daughter of Jane, Ballygowan, Northern Ireland. We have been trying to locate you since mum lost your contact details when we moved. Would love to hear from you. xx

I knew Donna in 1962 and worked with her on a show in Sunderland.

She was a great singer and i remeber her with affection.

People get confused because the TV Donna Douglas did actually release a song at around the same time: "He's So Near."

Congrats Donna.Must have fun days for you.

Donna's follow-up single in April 1962 was "Matelot" . . . and again (like "Message In A Bottle") it mysteriuosly missed the UK Top 50.

Recorded on piccadilly records uk 1962. Also recorded on piccadilly: He's so near-1963, and It's a pity to say goodnight also 1963. I have all three of the talented Donna's records.

@TheLimePopsicle ~ THANK YOU for clearing up my misunderstanding... so, this gal is NOT the Donna Douglas who played Elly May Clampett in the 1960's series "Beverly Hillbillies." I appreciate you letting me know.

[TheLimePopsicle]

@LADYSEASTAR You're welcome!

[DONNADOUGLAS100]

@LADYSEASTAR Hi This is THE REAL DONNA DOUGLAS as it was the name I was born with. HA HA only joking Lots Of Love Donna Donna Douglas of the Hillbilles was not her real name.

[LADYSEASTAR]

So, this is the same Donna Douglas from "The Beverly Hillbillies" from the 60's here in the states? Wow! She is/was very beautiful! I love her chaacter as Ellie May Clampett ~ what a gal!

[TheLimePopsicle]

@LADYSEASTAR No, this Donna Douglas is actually a different person, a British singer.

[verkaforever]

I'm from the UK and I think this song should have been our entry for Eurovision 1962. "Ring-A-Ding Girl" was O.K., but not a patch on this one.

[DONNADOUGLAS100]

@verkaforever Hi This is Donna Douglas, At the contest they had a book running and my song was favorite to win. So I thank you you for your kind comments, and of course agree Ha Ha Kind Regards. Donna
