A question for you all:
Can someone tell me who produced Annette Funicello's records
when she morphed from adolescent Mousketeer into pop princess of
the early 60s? You recall she had hits such as the "forgettable":
Tall Paul, First Name Initial, Pineapple Princess...and the
pretty ballad, O Dio Mio. I have a nagging suspicion that best
pal Shelly Fabares may have had record producer hubby Lou Adler
produce the records for her. Back then of course, all the
television teen heart throbs were recording hit records, i.e.
Connie Stevens, Edd Byrnes, Shelly Fabares, Paul Peterson,
Johnny Crawford, and others. Annette was the most notable of the
period. AND.. Singer Dodie Stevens had Pink Shoe Laces and One
Boy on the charts...Who produced for her, and who were the
musicians on Dodie's and Annette's tunes?

Hi Steve,
The Del-Fi girl-group compilation sounds great, and what a treat
to get the Brenda Holloway track tagged on at the end. On the
subject of Del-Fi, though, can I put in a good word for a David
Gates track that was on that label, "You Had It Coming". I think
it's one of the great "unknowns" of the early 60s, and would love
to see it put out on some kind of compilation sometime. (Maybe it
already has?)
Best,
Ian Chapman

Hi Diane,
A friend of mine here in the UK, who isn't online, is currently
working on a girl-group compilation for the Westside label. They
are using tracks from various sources, including Colpix,
Dimension, Jubilee, Roulette, and also some of the Bob Crewe
labels. You're gonna be on there, of course, and he's chosen one
of your later NewVoice tracks, the great "The Company You Keep".
I told him you had joined us here at Spectropop, and he's asked
me to if you would kindly supply a little info towards what he
already has for the liner notes. Specifically.......can you
confirm your real name? Some sources spell it as Kirschner,
others as Kushner. Also, you're from Philly, right? But born
there, or moved there at an early age? How did you meet Bob
Crewe.....and can you recall anything about the track in
question, or those later sides? And finally, Jean Thomas of the
Rag Dolls had a solo single out on NewVoice around the same time
as yours - were the Rag Dolls still backing you up by this time,
and can you (or anyone) recall the names of the other two girls
in that group? OK, that's it....sorry to bombard you with so
much!! Any help you can give will be appreciated, and I know it
will be of interest to everyone else on the list.
And everybody....the CD will be entitled "Girls Will Be Girls",
and I believe they've got some unreleased Roulette stuff on it
by the Boyd Sisters, and Elena. And remember the Cinderellas
studio tape of "Baby Baby" we discussed a few lists back? It's
due out on Westside as part of another comp called "On Broadway -
the Brill Building" - scheduled for Feb., so any day now......

My editor has a huge backlog of similar articles, so for the
time being, it is back-burnered. Two years before we talked, I
spent many hours talking with Sue Thompson, and that article is
finally due out in the next month or two. So here's hoping we
can get yours into print before the next millennium! Thanks for
asking!
Doc
