Shelley Fabares singing "Johnny Angel"



I just loved this song and was a big fan of the Donna Reed Show. Seems so sterile now, but that's what it was like back then. A vintage classic. Enjoy.

I know all the words by heart.

I can remember when there was a ''battle of the songs'' or whatever they called it, every night on Montreal's CKGM (then sister to CHUM).

Johnny Angel faced off with Paul Peterson's ''She Can't Find Her Keys,'' and creamed it.

Peterson, of course, was Fabares' TV brother.

Heya Antonia,

You know the words by heart? Well, so do I! It was my favourite song when I was a kid. A friend and I used to have lip sync contests to the 45 of Johnny Angel. Being the gay guy, I'd usually win. lol

CHUM 1050 was ALL ANYONE listened to back then. Remember "Speaking Back" with Larry Solway, or did CKGM not run it?

"She can't find her keys" was just a novelty song. Johnny Angel was a CHUM Dinger!!! lol

She pulled out... lipstick, powder...

In this one, he is terrible, but he was so damn cute. Even cuter as he matured.
