Sounds like an 8yr old Mae West warbling her first tune.

I saw Bayn in the play Curley McDimple, I was sooo impressed. I got to go back stage and meet this little star who was so gracious and down to earth. I will always remember her. I had similar aspirations at the time.

I would like to hear the A-side of this 45 also. Christmas Teddy Bear. I used to sing it to my kids when they were little and they remember it. They are 32 and 35 yrs. old.

How about loading up the A-side of that 45..?."Christmas Teddy Bear" to which, in 1969 (when it was a hit) I danced in my Kindergarten Christmas play to. (cause I have a flat top, I got the be the teddy Bear)...I have been looking for this (IN ANY FORM) for EVER! Thanks for sharing.

I remember the purple RPI label on the 45

I would upload "Christmas Teddy Bear" it if I had a copy of it. As of this posting, I only have a small clip (30 seconds). Check ebay. I have seen it there, but price is too steep for me.

Wishing a happy 50th birthday to Bayn.

There's another connection to Shirley Temple through the Electric Company via Bayn Johnson. Janina Mathews also was on TEC from '75 to '77 also played Curley McDimple.
