why did she do her tongue like dat

[rascal211]

She didn't want to get her teeth altered because she was afraid it would somehow change her singing. She was at her height at this time. She eventuallty had them done later.

[sharonkayb]

One of the best female singers to date!!

[weirdbagel]

she performs this song very well.

[DeeNice681]

She still looks good here, even though her teeth aren't the best.

[pdejesu]

Darlene Love #1!!!

im back with a new user name to all my friends.

In the old cher videos I was just watching, her front teeth are totally different. today everyone gets perfect teeth but in that video (she's singing alfie in a little yellow dress in the 60's) the imperfection actually makes her look cute. people just looked how they looked. now they all look like barbie or some video game vixen

[JimmyBoi2]

Rather off-topic to disparage her whities; anyway, in her 1963 photo shots, her smile has obviously been airbrushed.

[divalish]

Apparently this took place before denistry was invented.

[Desiree50]

@divalish I have the same sense of humor that you do.But look at her teeth now a days.

[darkebony]

@Desiree50 Tell it like it is look at her now! she looks good I saw her at the airport and she lookes amazing about 6 months ago.

[CharlesBarry]

@Desiree50 Hi, now that's funny ! ( LOL )

[provital5]

@divalish she was poor. Poor people usually don't have money for corrective dentistry. Is that news to you?

Phil Spector paid her a flat $3,000 to sing lead on He's A Rebel and it went on to sell 3 million copies. Like most people when she finally had money she had her teeth fixed

[cookiesdaddy]

That's Carolyn Willis subbing for Jean.

[PatrickMcBride65]

MY NEW FAVORITE VIDEO! She was/is soooo good!

whoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhh!

[michellesvideosuk]

Where is Jean King? xx

[michellesvideosuk]

Just flipping brilliant, wow, I love the Blossoms so much, they are fricking awesome, love this, Darlene is just the best. xxx

[Kikomel1951]

Carolyn was also a Girlfriend, I think... ?

[philspectorful]

no, the singer on the left, is carolyn willis, which has been a member of bob b.soxx and the blue jeans, on tour. She also appears on the sleeve of "a christmas gift for you from phil spector" but she never recorded with bob b. soxx.

[marvtu]

again: Who's the lady on the left, it's not Jean King

[dagnabit1]

Is that Jean with Darlene and Fanita? Doesn't look like her.

[Supremes59]

@dagnabit1 No, that's not Jean. Not sure who she is. Maybe Jean was unavailable at the time of taping.

[carolinaguy321]

@dagnabit1 I don't think that Jean King.
