This is what Bruce Kimmel had to say about
Joanie Sommers and the CD
I was lucky enough to produce Joanie’s last new album, back in 1990 or so, for Bay Cities. She’s really wonderful, and these Warner Bros. albums from the 60s are great. I fell in love with her voice the second I heard her first big hit song, Johnny Get Angry. I ran out and bought the 45 of it and played it until it would play no more. I still love that song, as politically incorrect as it may be. The gentleman who wrote it, Mr. Sherman Edwards, would go on to write the classic Broadway musical, 1776. If you haven’t heard Joanie, give the Johnny Get Angry album a try – it’s just delightful, and she does many standards on it, too, like A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square and Little Girl Blue. She also does a wonderful rendition of One Boy from Bye, Bye Birdie, and a terrific vocal of the theme from A Summer Place.
