  • Thanks for posting this one - I'd been looking for it. I heard that the name of this act was "Mae West and Somebody's Chyldren." OMG :)

    She also did a cover of "Day Tripper." Oh, and "Light My Fire" by the Doors.

  • LOL Great name for the studio band. Thanks for the information!

  • Terrific..I love Mae as well..just for some reason.

  • I know what you mean. I just love her, I thing it is because she was so funny and was willing to laugh at herself. I wish they woulkd show her movies on TV so another generation could learn about her.

  • Is this genuine? I really would like to know ?

  • yes it is real. About 1965 or so she released an album. You can Google it. She was about 70 years old at the time. I did cut the songs down in length as they are 4-5 minutes long, but yes, she did it, she sang them, an I love her fo it. There is video on YouTube of her about 80+ yrs old singing Frankie nd Johnnie where lovers and she once again sounds just like herself and for a woamn in 7 inch heels..she does damn good at 80.

  • B O L D AS PRETTY AS SHE KEPT HER SELF UP TO THE END SHE HAD THE RIGHTTO DO IT THE WAY SHE SEE IT

  • This is horrible!

  • It sounds like she's channeling Tiny Tim.

  • dreadful

  • After hearing Mae sing this, I don't think I'll come up and see her sometime.

  • @dorisdayno1 great! such a big fan!so wich movie do you recommend me watching as a first mae film. I have never seen her on a film, but things are screaming to me GO WATCH MAE. First aguilera made an amazing rendition to a guy what takes his time, and i've always loved slavador dali's mae portrait, but i've never been attracted enough to watch a film. So tell me wich movie showcases a complete mae experience. Musically, this song ain't no pertfection, and that comes from a long time beatles fan

  • did she ever work with Tom Jones??/ i would have loved to seen her sing a duet with Tom Jones.. he also is TIMELESS super sexy.

  • @dorisdayno1 Thank G-d there are young people like you who still appreciate the old stars. I met Mae when I was 3 years old, in 1933, my uncle worked on her film with Cary Grant 'She Done Him Wrong" and I got to go on the set! I remember her being very tall and very nice.

  • @SandyBurnell Perfectly put!!!

  • @dorisdayno1  - You have GOOD TASTE
