Donna Loren sings "Call Me" on Hollywood-A-Go-Go (1965)

More Info: http://www.DonnaLoren.net -
Donna Loren performs the Tony Hatch penned "Call Me" on the Los Angeles-based teen variety show "Hollywood-A-Go-Go" hosted by L.A. DJ Sam Riddle on 12-25-65. Arranged by none other than Jack Nitzsche and produced by saxophonist extraordinaire Steve Douglas. Tony Hatch wrote many of Petula Clark's hits including "Downtown". This record introduced a new, softer vocal style for Donna, which was released by Capitol Records in 1965. Donna also performed this song live on The Milton Berle Show in a legitimate stage style in 1966 when she was a regular on the show. You will find that performance on YouTube if you go to my channel. "Call Me" was originally a hit for Petula Clark (UK) and Chris Montez (US).

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

Just love it when these fine artists sing this particular song. They put their signature sound to it. Natural and relaxed - Loren sings it in her upper register - very feminine sound. Her sound is NICE. Awesome music - music has that falling guitar riff, "chacking" at intervals; that kind of use of rhythm guitar is unbelievably entertaining to the ear. For example, Bacharach used it in all the hits with Warwick.

If the in the song didn't call her back, he would be a fool.

Today Donna Loren would be a mega star. She has more talent than any female pop singer going today.

She's certainly got the look. The set's cool. The music's great... and then, that voice. Teeny-boppers should've laid off the bossa nova.
