08. Jackie Dennis - La Dee Dah [UK Decca F 10992]

One slight problem - Jackie Dennis was a MALE not a femme

Thanks, Roger.

I didn't know the UK had male pop/rock singers in 1958 with a juvenile
voice.

Here's Jackie, with this song, in 1958 UK movie "6.5 Special", a
spin-off from the Saturday TV pop music show "Six-Five Special"
(97 episodes 1957-58):

"Jackie Dennis (8 Oct 1942 � 28 Sep 2020) was a Scottish singer.

Unless stated there was no UK release on these

1. MY JOHNNY – LITTLE MISS WANDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8i3fsLbmeQ

On Aries label here’s a long LONG time fave of mine since I encountered
it on my first trip to Philly in 1971 and bought a copy from---where else?—at very VERY much less than the $500 plus it commands today. No
chart action

Have only known this for 10-12 years, but I like it a lot. It's got a
certain charm to it.

6, BEEN A LONG TIME BABY – BABY WASHINGTON https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urpDTec82GI

Did NOT know this one. I'm keeping a copy, but for me it's just a 6.
It's a little frantic.

19. COMFORT IN MY HEART – BEA BOOKER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2o4jZMzj9U

Did not know this, it's good. Keeping a copy.

20. WATERPROOF EYES – TINY TOPSY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk8xjp6830U

Did not know it. Another good one. Keeping a copy.
