Donna Loren - Wishin' And Hopin' (1964)

[giafox65]

I love this song! !!!

[akibubba1]

ahhhh...how refreshing to hear a real singer !! - I remeber her from my early childhood-very sexy, incredible voice, and most important of all, she knew how to convey a song to the audience - definitely not just crappy karaoke --- her sense of humor and personality shine through when she sings - definitely the type of woman i'd hook up with if i was old enough back then...

[007CONROY]

Excellent! Thanks for posting this video.

[stlgtrace]

What a BABE!!!!!!

[electriengineer]

The hair spray companies made a killing back then. Love it or hate it, at least the women of that era had style - not like the bland phony chicks today.

[Philmen]

@electriengineer Totally agreed

[skipper8257]

Dusty was a once in a lifetime performer. R.I.P my dear.

[gaam72]

@skipper8257 ... dude, this is donna loren.

[webaroos]

Here is the epitomy of a 60's chick, they all looked like her.

[jollyjohnbull]

Classy song, sung by a very classy lady, I would have certainly walked her home from the dance.

[Zippertheslipper]

Hot song and hot lady too. 

[1fresia1]

WOW  she is sweet, BUT ain't her song.

Dusty's version goes much better for me (-:

[donn205]

wear your hair just for him?? i don't think he would like that hair. sorry how did she get it that way?

[HJMC3345]

The world might have been a different place if Annette had her voice! Glorious.

[yandrsupreme]

She's got an awesome voice, but this song ain't for her. Look at her do "Personality", and you can see her THROW IT DOWN. Her enunication is far too proper on this.

[hebneh]

"Wear your hair

Just for him, girl..."

Donna's hair is always looking pretty darn spectacular in the height of '60s style.

[damonlevine]

Definitely nowhere near as good as Dusty and Dionne's (or even the Merseybeats) versions.

But interesting to see and hear another version of this top Bachrach song.

[TikiBoy382]

She had an AMAZING voice! I loved her in all the Beach Party movies with Frankie and Annette, she seemed to always get one or two songs in each movie to sing!! She was in the running to be one of the Original Mouseketeer's, but Annette was chosen as the last child star to join the club. Donna was also a guest star on "Talent Round Up" day on the original Mickey Mouse club, a couple times!! Anyone know if she is still singing?

[acdeucee]

So calm and serious. If you close enough you can see Nixon in her face, They be the same person

[msteven515]

What?

[acdeucee]

Sorry that must of been Dusty Springfield

[benoni45]

She'd have been welcome on my arm in the sixties! Lovely girl and a great song!

[DeanLisi]

she was my first love..  then I dumped her for Linda Ronstadt

[olafreinhardweyer]

@DeanLisi LOL :P What about Melanie?

[foxyroxstar]

She was here as THERE!..(I'm so glad).Our Teacher in Spirit.DUSTY!....did i see a relax..it's cool!

[raymondbuz]

A Great hottie. She must be in her 70s. by

now anyone know if shes still alive?

[missohio83]

She's 62. Yes, she's still alive.

[magicmojoman]

She is blessed in the looks department. Too bad most women are cursed or will be if they let it go to weight , surgery or being lazy ass. Nice infectious voice. Cannot beat the classics. Must pass them onto future generations before the music companies steal them back. Greedy ass bastards. .................Schreck

[AnGeLoLosAngeles]

[Janster59]

She's my kinda gal!

[kklaumendes]

[jazzmandan50]

[hiram0ulysses]
