DODIE STEVENS
Now something completely different between my Doris Duke posts...
Dodie Stevens was born as Geraldine Pasquale in Chicago in the mid-40s. She rose to national fame with the oft-covered novelty song Pink Shoe Laces when she was only 13. She subsequently released three LPs on Dot Records, but except perhaps Merry Merry Christmas Baby, none of her songs are remembered today by the general public. After three years in the spotlight she married and moved to a farm. She later resumed her carrier but never again reached the charts despite recording with music legend Sergio Mendes.
Here I've gathered 18 of her songs, which is all I've managed to track down. Among the highlights are No, Let Me Tell You About Johnny and Yes I'm Lonesome Tonight.
