30 Songs From ANNETTE FUNICELLO
The most popular of the Mouseketeers on the '50s TV program The Mickey Mouse Club, Annette Funicello was herded into the studio at the age of 16 to become the first female teen idol rock & roll star. Billed simply as Annette on most of her records, she hit the Top 20 five times in 1959 and 1960, and continued to record constantly in the early '60s as she moved into film stardom in a variety of California beach-culture vehicles. With her thin voice double-tracked and reverbed to achieve the necessary volume, the material was largely saccharine pop clap-trap flavored with elements of rock & roll. Kitschy overtones of Italian and Hawaiian popular music also figured strongly, and she even took stabs at surf and ska. She retired from recording in the mid-'60s to raise her family. (Richie Unterberger in AllMusic)

I am sorry I missed this posting......the link is dead already.........would really appreciate another shot at it.......have had the hots for Annette for over 50 years......lol
if you could email me link.......that would work also........
pops499@excite.com always appreciate your effort. always great stuff!
veja como são as coisas, uma atriz baixinha com cabelo ruim, fazendo um sucesso danado naquela epoca.
Hoje vemos os videos (your tube)e verificamos o quanto fomos tolos aceitando toda aquela abobalhada, em relação o avanço tecnologico de hoje:atrizes super sexs (Britney), moda mais audaz (biquinis minusculos). Mas Annette e Frankie Avalon sem dúvida nos embalaram naqueles anos dourados. Em sua homenagem publico no meu Blog a trilha sonora integral do filme "Beach Blanket Bingo".Agora se alguém me conseguisse o DVD, acharia ótimo,porque aqui no Brasil ainda não saiu.
Abraços e boas publicações como essa da Annette.
