Joanie Sommers - Girl Talk (from the film "Harlow") 1965

Somewhat campy song now, written by Neal Hefti and Bobby Troup. From the film "Harlow", this MONO track is from the 1965 Columbia OOP Vinyl LP "Come Alive" by Joanie Sommers.

Girl Talk on the Harlow Album is only a instrumental. I adore this rendition with the lyrics. I will cut and paste this into my "Harlow" album. It is fantastic!

@RiverrattProductions Thanks for that update..didn't know it was only an instrumental on the album (I haven't seen the film since it first came out......long time..lol). Just went to amazon and listened to a snippet from the soundtrack....surprised to see it made it to cd.

is this swing jazz?

[wally1435]

I'm not really sure how this would be classified; I consider the LP to be just smooth pop vocals.

I don't remember Joanie but she's amazingly good!

[wally1435]

She was known primarily for her classic "Johnny Get Angry" and also for doing the singing jingle for Pepsi around the same period, but she proved she could do really good albums also.

I wish I went back in time..i would ask her for one kiss and then travel back with a big smile...sigh!!

Joanie appeared several times on "HULLABALOO" as a musical guest, but wasn't a "regular", 'GaryW'. She often appeared on variety shows during the '60s, but never headlined one of her own. Occasionally, she makes a public appearance or singing engagement these days....

@russhurley i would class it as swing jazz.... in the same style as sinatra and tony bennett

[Torsti2003z]

oo :)

[gormobro]

@russhurley yes, this is light swing jazz

PART 2

....when comic lyrical cuteness supportive of strong complimentary oppositarianism/ sexual magnetism was not only welcomed but sought after thoughout the culture by both male and female alike. The then ,more mature audience and more stable culture, contrary to popular belief today, was less abusive of that balance and would never have guessed in their wildest nightmares what was to become of Us/Them as we are today.

PART 1

Hey Wally,Nick Arons here, Thank You SO Much for putting this classic of America's Golden Age. Not campy AT ALL, in fact a great example of romantic jazz almost identical to the great Count Basie Hit " Li'l Darlin" in genre and composition. Younger folks will find it almost incomprehensible that their was a time before population control programming (,ie,feminism,gender neutering, falsification of history shows like "Mad Men" and "Cold Case" etc etc- ) when comic.....continued as PART 2

She was on the old NBC-TV show Hullabaloo. The last time I heard of her, she was living back in Buffalo, NY.
