Billy J Kramer? Naw,
How bout Freddy and the Dreamers. Who could forget the band's humorous dance to this song, as well as most of their songs. Go youtube it and smile.

Very underrated in her day. But she was a great singer.

so beautiful in every way

@BytteBob I remember Freddie and the Dreamers making this a big hit in the 60's

Such great memories. She was/is so talented and beautiful!

When "HULLABALOO" featured their "Top Pop" segment, the guest stars would, in turn, sing a few bars of someone else's current hit song (The Supremes, Peter & Gordon, Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs, Barbara McNair, and guest host Frankie Avalon also joined in the medley). This is from the May 11, 1965 edition...and yes, Peter Matz was the arranger/conductor of the "house band" on the show [his musical tastes were more "variety show" oriented than "pop"; he was later Carol Burnett's conductor].

@chuckbenjamin It was Hullabaloo

what a natural and such an accomplaished sample of the song
-

swing age.....altho we miss her dearly Id imagine joanie was smart and got out of the biz...............I also think giglrocks is right, that does look like diana ross at an early age
Is this the original version of the song? Wasn't it Billy J Kramer that did the other version or someone else? :S

No, Billy J had the original... this was part of a medley and this was the "cover song" they chose for Joanie or Joanie chose to sing. She could sing pop or jazz with ease, with a great unmistakable voice.

Yes, Joanie was part of a "Beatles Medley" with The Supremes and Frankie Avalon. I'm not sure what show this was from...
