What a wonderful lady

[Alexaklr]

Annette.  Such wonderful memories. What a great tune! Thanks so much for sparking my childhood (Mickey Mouse Club) and teenage (Annette songs and movies) memories. Annette, every kid's idol. Such a class act.

[DachsundDude]

For anyone interested... There is a Box Set of Annette's Music (on CD) that you can purchase, that is excellant! Along with the really nice box and included 46 songs, there is also a really nice booklet too. The set is actually produced by Walt Disney Records. Set is called: Annette - A musical Reunion with America's Girl Next Door. The box shows a number of 60010-2 on it, and an ISBN number of: 1-55723-493-0 in case you wish to look it up or order at some record shop

[ncatt]

@DachsundDude I believe this was released in Sept. 1993 so it may be a little hard to find but may still be found.

[GonzoGuyy]

@ncatt yeah, but I think there is a new collection out. well recent anyway.

[mondocaneman]

Awesome!

[OLdies1960s]

A GREAT TRIBUTE TO ANNETTE !!!!!!!!

[Lester2955]

Thank you for posting this. A fun song.

[mikeymars]

As much as I like Annette, this is not one of her better, more distinctive song covers. The Eydie Gorme 1962 original of this song -- which you can hear on Youtube, look it up -- has much more personality and much better instrumentals in it. Frankly, if you want to hear Annette in a killer cover, listen to her version of "Surfn'" by the Beach Boys. I frankly like her take on that number better than the original!

[ncatt]

Eydie is a talented singer and did a wonderful job with this song (I do have her music) but I don't remember much else without Steve. Two distinct but different singing styles, Eydie sang with more of a latin flare, she also had a stronger more masculine voice then Annette's softer style. I love both versions, different times & moods.

I tend to post less heard songs, not to compete with each other so . . . .

[ncatt]

♥ Enjoy the music ♥, . . . . whoever or whatever they sing!

►check my " Annette Funicello - Surfin' " video here on YouTube (my medley of surf music). (I agree with you about Surfin')

[nojokingbob]

Thanks for posting this video you did a wonderful job on it. I've always Loved her voice and like many males Loved her, a very classy Lady and good person.

[Rusti10]

Thanks for this. A true girl next door, a true heroine. Everything in her life has been handled with courage and dignity. Love this gal!

[herasmarket]

it's funny Patty Duke didn't think she could sing either and yet she released six albums and we her fans totally disagree -- Patty Duke was also straight as an arrow I grew up watching both Patty Duke and Annette and loved them dearly!

[timotastic]

She was really stunning, such a pretty, cute and sexy lady! <3

[acdeucee]

This is her Grand Wizard of melody's.' The bosanova' makes All a happy clan...The song of love

[toppcat64]

i heard a lot version of this-but this one was new ***** Grand upload

[3753mail]

First time hearing this..she sounds a lot like Joanie Sommers..In the 1960's, Annette showed that you can be wholesome. talented - wish they were more like her today...

[ncatt]

Please avoid anymore comments about what you believe her health is except that she has MS.

3rd party health statements are not always factual, nor are they welcome.

[renc2000]

She reminds me of Mila Kunis or Vanessa Hudgens.

She's adorable.

[waynebrasler]

The interesting thing about Annette is she was so out of the mold for how young girl stars looked at the time, for example, Sandra Dee. Annette was very ethnic looking, very dark, with interesting features. It all added up to a truly beautiful young lady, just not typical. She also was an unusual actress and singer. She never tried to sell; she just let it happen naturally. In real life, totally down to earth, loved her family, worked at her dad's service station Saturday mornings. A doll!

[waynebrasler]

Though she still claims not to be much of a singer, as you can hear she indeed can be.

[fotomch1]

I heard that she had MS multible sclorsis..and that she  is doing fine treatment is working

[ncatt]

Don't believe everything you hear .............. 50% of everything your told is most likely wrong. .....That's a fact! Just enjoy the music.

[Clarelisa4]

She does in fact have MS...as far as I know, she's doing well. If you watch her bio-movie 'A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes' it makes it clear that she was ill for quite sometime before she was diagnosed

[kirkmach32]

Still in love with this woman even though she's always been older than I.

[1musiclvr]

Wow, did she ever take a bad photo? Great collection of beautiful pictures of America's sweetheart.

[budthorn12]

A sex symbol who personally never stepped out of a wholesome Lifestyle

[invertminigod]

I love it even if it brings tears to my eyes, good days, good times... Thank you Love you and be well.

[drummerlead]

She and Frankie Avalon made such a good looking couple. And their voices blended together so perfectly!

[kevinmazura]

ANNETTE FUNICELLO.....The all AMERICAN fantasy.every guy wanted her,every girl wanted to be her.Love you Annette you always was and always will be my first real crush!!!!!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

The brunette's answer to Shelley Fabares

[ncatt]

Annette and Shelley were also the "best of friends"

[Titan752]

She was and shall ever remain a beauty, despite the disease. She only has to look at you with those angelic eyes! The prettiest brunette to ever become a Disney star and a bathing beauty!

[sonjah4]

thankyou for your information you must really love this girl have you ever met her is there anyone you would like to meet in this life time i would love to meet jesus to ask about the bible interesting

[gltw57]

this brings back wonderful memories of mum singing this in the kitchen when i was young.

thank you for the memories x

[Zippertheslipper]

Hot Italian girl from Utica,NY, yeah!!!!!!

[bworme]

Long live the 50's, forever embedded in my mind as I was one of the fortunate teenagers, at that time, to live it, and, Annette was one of several who made the era memorable, thanks Annette and God Bless!!! Bobby

[hfelknor]

I can only hope that Annette can live with this terrible sickness in relative comfort.

She was a fun girl, and is ow a great lady.

Thanks Annette, for all the pleasure you have brought other people.

[sonjah4]

what illness does she have

[ncatt]

Annette has been suffering from MS, Multiple Sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system since the late 80's. In 1993 she started the "Annette Funicello Fund For Neurological Disorders".

[lustre5]

I don't think I would have watched the MMC if not for Annette--I was always waiting for her to show up--like for introducing the "mouse cartoon." When I saw her for the first time in another venue, namely on Band Stand singing "Tall Paul," I was as tickled as when I saw Elvis on tv for the first time.

[jamesdelude]

this video should be retitled "Blame it on the bossa nova.

[ncatt]

Sorry but you weren't alone, about ½ the boys watching the MMC had a crush on Annette and ½ the girls in someway envied her.

[fruglescot]

I think Annette was the first girl I had a crush on (Puppy Love) I was probably 9 or 10 when I first saw her as a Mouseketeer on Walt Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. Later it was in the Frankie Avalon movies

Man was I jealous of him with my girl!! Great collage of a memorable gal.

[callseba]

our family always loved annette funicello; her natural sweetness came thru in everything she did. this may sound corny, but as a little italian-american girl i looked up to her a lot and pretended she was my big sis when she was on the mickey mouse show! lol we'll always love you, annette!

[nakednellie]

Fabulous job on putting this together!

I do truley love it!

[alejandroomi]

That is truly a wonderful song and what beautiful memories. Thank you for bringing back someone so special!

[gauejr]

Those were the days...

[Robert4770]

Thanks Annette for all the years of happiness you brought us. Better days for sure.
