@DaveWollenberg According to Wikipedia, Fredda Gibson (nee' Lipschitz) got the Her Nibs nickname from Garry Moore, on whose radio show she got her first big break, as the girl singer.
@xevcosmo No. It was written as an answer song to Hank Ballards "Work With Me Annie", writers were Etta James, Johnny Otis & Hank Ballard. Etta first went to top of R&b charts with it, then Gibbs did this sappy version that went to top of pop charts.
@xevcosmo Get your facts straight...Etta James recorded this song first and while she was on tour with Little Richard, Ms Gibbs stole the song and rerecorded it and renamed it to Wallflower...This happened a lot.
Heavens to Murgatroid! I love this song & Geogia's droll version of it! Always get a huge kick out of it whenever I have the good fortune to hear it! And the graphics are pretty dang cute too! THANKS for posting this delightful "blast from the past". You've MADE my day & my weekend! :)
No knock on Georgia Gibbs, who was a decent pop vocalist, but this is awful. The pop singers (e.g., GG, Pat Boone, etc.) who did covers of R&B hits had to be mortified with these releases. Both the studio and GG had no clue as to what this music was about, and released this kind of bland, "de-ethnic'd" pablum for the masses.

This would be like the Bee Gees singing an Otis Redding song or the Backstreet Boys singing a Black Sabbath song.

Born Fredda Gibson. Not sure who dubbed her, 'Her Nibs, Miss Gibbs.'

@luvureally Ironically, we lost Etta James and Johnny Otis on the same day.

@timgarrison This is a cover of Etta James' sanitized cover of Hank Ballard's Work With Me Annie.
