This is a pretty interesting pick for me. First, I actually watched the cartoon. I even have some of the comic books. And when the live action movie came out I had a daughter the right age, so we watched it and enjoyed the soundtrack. I knew that the remake featured Kay Hanley from Letters To Cleo. And I knew that the original Josie band included Cheryl Ladd (Pre-Angels when she was Cherie Moor), who sang as Melody. She was my favorite angel and not just because she played tennis with my cousin. I found out later that Brenda Holloway's sister, Patrice Holloway was in the band as was Kathy Dougher (who was in a not so great band later). Patrice was signed to Motown and had a couple of Northern Soul "hits" and also co-wrote at least one great song with her sister, but mostly did backup vocals on a few albums. There are three versions of the theme song here. And one barely affiliated song by the Archies who ended up with a bigger hit, but was actually started because of Josie in the cartoons and comics.

ReplyDeleteIn 1967 this is one highlight of Dutch TV. Dorus (Tom Manders) was one the most beloved artists in The Netherlands. In his tv shows he occasionally had children, and on this episode, Corinna (2 years) sings the nursery rhyme Poessie Mauw.

Corinna Konijneburg (1964-2002) will always be remembered for this endearing performance.
Not so much endearing but sad. They're laughing at her. I don't really remember this song, but I know my mom sang it to me when I was little
