Broadcast 5-19-65, this Donna Loren performance was backed up by Darlene Love and The Blossoms, The Wellingtons, Billy Preston and the Shindig Dancers.

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. In the 60's she released 18 singles and an LP. A new CD entitled "Love It Away" and a new EP entitled "Donna Does Elvis in Hawaii" is her first new music in decades.

Donna could really belt those songs out! She had such a powerhouse voice and sang with incredible passion. I love the staging of this performance too- everyone in the round and looking as happy as can be!
