Beguiling bubblegum with lots of surprises

"Not the possessor of a strong voice, nor a charismatic, individualistic way with a song, Shelley Fabares was a radio-friendly song-interpreter, a singing actress who did more than a decent job with the material handed to her. The tracks are well-produced and occasionally memorable. Especially good are "Ronnie, Call Me" and "He Don't Love Me". Of course, "Johnny Angel" is the one real classic, and it still sounds good on oldies-radio, but Shelley had other treats in store and this compilation pulls some great ear-candy out of oblivion. (NOTE: my copy contains 18 tracks in all--3 not listed here on Amazon: "I Know You'll Be There", "Lost Summer Love" and "Pretty Please", plus a "bonus track", Shelley in the studio)"

"I have so enjoyed this CD because not only does Shelley have a great singing voice, she is a wonderful actress and very kind person. I am a HUGE fan! I have written Shelley several times and she ALWAYS writes back with a nice hand written note or picture. She always hated to sing but I am so glad she did! What a fun CD full of easy songs to listen and sing too. I recommend this CD to anyone that likes 60's girl group music, You cannot go wrong! Also Try the other Shelley Fabares Double Album CD "Shelley" / "The Things We Did Last Summer" you will not be disappointed either way!"

Track List is Misleading

"I, too, fell for the inaccurate track listing for this CD, whereas the one I received had only 15 songs. In my case, the whole reason I bought the CD was to get the two P.F. Sloan/Steve Barri songs, listed as tracks 16 & 18. So this was a waste--I should have ordered the Rhino/WEA version."
