I like Annette's voice, such magic with it. And this quite a toe-tapper

[akytilop]

Great music. Annette is beautiful, inside and out.

@Superbook4Eva So glad to hear that Annette continues to have fans :-)

Your are correct..... Paul wrote "Puppy Love" with Annette in mind in 1960

However "Tall Paul" was by Richard and Robert Sherman. They'd already had a hit with "You're Sixteen" for Johnny Burnett when they were hired by Walt Disney in1958 to write for Annette. Walt liked their work so much that he kept them on the payroll. In 1965 they won an Oscar for a film soundtrack they wrote for Disney. The film was Mary Poppins

@Superbook4Eva

Really?? I was thinking the spoken part was the least appealing part.

But he is the captain of the football team.

It's total bubblegum, but it's a pretty tasty flavor. :) Love the spoken-word part.

Didn't Paul Anka write "Puppy Love" about his feelings for Annette?

I do not remember this in American Graffiti. Great song, and such a wholesome girl.

This song was originally recorded on the Disneyland Record label! Annette charted on BillBoard's Hot 100 List 1/5/59, peaking at no.7 & staying on the chart for 15 weeks! Everytime I did "Classic Sat. Nite" over the air-waves, this was my most requested song!

Paul wouldn't have had to be very tall to her, I heard she's pretty short. :)
