Donna Loren "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)" (1966)

More Info: http://www.DonnaLoren.net -
Donna Loren singing "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)". Curiously, she recorded this song on Challenge Records in 1962 when she was 15, but this performance on a national television show was in Sept. of 1966. This song was orginally made famous by Edith Piaf as "Hymne À L'Amour" by French composer Marguerite Monnot. Ms Piaf first sang this song at the caberet Versailles in New York on September 14, 1949. She recorded the song on 2 May 1950. English lyrics by Edith Piaf and G. Parsons.

Donna Loren was the one-and-only "Dr Pepper Girl" from 1963 to 1968. She was signed to a long-term contract with the soft-drink company to sing all television and radio commercials, do all magazine and billboard advertising representing them in every capacity, sometimes sharing the spotlight with American Bandstand's Dick Clark. This relationship led to her touring in Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars with other popular acts like Diana Ross and The Supremes and singing solos in the popular Beach Party films starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. Later, she became the regular female vocalist on the popular 60's American live rock n roll TV show "Shindig" and she appeared in singing and acting roles in many iconic TV shows like Batman, The Monkees, Gomer Pyle, The Mothers-In-Law, Red Skelton, Milton Berle and various game shows. She's released 22 singles, an album and 2 CD's. Ms Loren is currently in the studio again making music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ-wN37G2rs

@nourbutwatmi ... OK, so upon further review, only all of her HIGH notes were flat. Lots of style, but as was the case with so many performers, style came before intonation.

If you want an example of a singer with style AND intonation, check out Jo Stafford.

And why do you resort to name-calling? You don't know me, and know nothing of my expertise in the area of singing. We are all entitled to our opinions.

I really love this song by Donna.

[tbiytc01]

Brilliant.

[thebl00per]

Great voice, but she sings every note flat. No wonder she was not a big hit.

Donna had a great voice but she was never given really good material to sing, if she had I think she would have been much bigger.
