Donna Loren - "It Only Hurts When I Cry" (2009)

Download this song at: http://www.DonnaLoren.net -
Donna Loren, with guitarist Drew Saber and engineer Maurice Gainen, renovates and rejuvenates her signature song "It Only Hurts When I Cry" into a sultry, grown-up 21st century pop tune. Originally performed by Donna as a teenager in the 1965 AIP film "Beach Blanket Bingo" and again recorded for the LP of the same name, she has now reinterpreted the song as an adult, with style and intimacy; it sounds like a classic now. The song was written by Guy Hemric and Jerry Styner. It was arranged and produced by Donna Loren. Video was produced, directed and edited by Jeffrey Abelson in late July 2009. Be sure to see Donna in her original performance of "It Only Hurts When I Cry" from the classic AIP film "Beach Blanket Bingo": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ZRvb8LJsk

In August 2009 Donna released a new album entitled "MAGIC -The 80s Collection" containing the best of her work in the 80s as well as a BONUS VIDEO of a rare performance in Tokyo in 1984. The Enhanced CD can be purchased or downloaded on her website at: http://www.DonnaLoren.net. You can view another rare 1984 performance from this album at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l_8pHeEaLo

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 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 "The Monkees", "Batman", "Gomer Pyle", "The Mothers-In-Law", "Red Skelton", "Milton Berle" and various game shows. In the 60's she released 20 singles and an LP. Her new CD entitled "Love It Away" is her first new music in decades. Hear it and other new music at http://www.DonnaLoren.net.

Christ almighty, who the hell edited this thing? Great songstress, great song, some nice shots, but poorly put together. Totally wrong pacing for this wonderful song and artist.

DONNA YOU ARE A TIMELESS BEAUTY! LOVE YA' 4 EVER Dan N.Y.

[CyTheHun]

She is captivating, but time does march on. The ripples never come back...

[damienrecords]

So, so pretty a song. This version to me, is better than the slow rock ballad in the movie. SO GREAT on so many levels. Profound talent. One of her biggest hits.

Wayne, don't forget "Annette"! Remember, when she "outgrew" her Mickey Mouse Club outfit (with all respect here)? I wanted to marry her when I would get of age! I agree with with you, gorgeous women - incidentally, Shelley Fabares was Annette's best friend in real life. Great memories...

Ciao, L

Donna, I had a major crush on you when I was a kid. You were the highlight of the Beach Party movies and the Shindig TV show. I loved your Dr. Pepper commercials. You and Shelly Fabares ushered me into puberty. Ah, nostalgia...
