Donna Loren "It Only Hurts When I Cry" Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)

[@AtlantaGymFan]

A very underrated, singer and beautiful woman

[@MichaelMosesHammer]

This song makes me realize how underrated Donna was. She had a great voice, and has to be one of the cutest girls of all time. I'm sure glad these clips are still around.

[@teddylueken3942]

Donna Loren is amazing. What a voice.

[@pauls835]

Great pipes Donna, only 18 when she did this movie, glad you're still with us. She retired from the business in 1968 to raise a family. Restarted her career in the late 80's.

[@JudyRoberts-c5c]

Love listening to this song and the movie too

[@ponekingpetch3595]

Donna Loren had (and still has) the pipes. For such a petite girl, she has a very powerful and soaring voice. One of the most gifted vocalists of the entire 60's decade, and one of the most gorgeous Drive-In Queens Ever. She was comparable in the early 1960's decade to what Ariana Grande is in contemporary times.

[@donkraar1116]

Ariana Grande could never compete with Donna Loren's warmth & stage presence.

[@briankelly9347]

Ariana us a brown slut

[@charles2241]

She was also known as the Dr Pepper Girl, up until '68. I think her involvement in the Beach Party movies were all arranged through Dr Pepper.

[@christinea9676]

Ariana Grande does resemble Donna Loren!

[@cocoaorange1]

She is Italian, what do you mean by brown?

The best of all the beach movies and the best song from the beach films

[@Tertullian1971]

Best song and best movie of the AIP beach series.

[@PHUKBALL1]

So i put on TCM after work yesterday and Beach Blanket Bingo is on.My wife is working late so i leave it on and start making dinner,suddenly i'm struck by an Angel on the screen! I stopped what i was doing and stood there amazed by her beutiful singing voice and stunning good looks.Why she wasn't the biggest thing to come out of the 60s is beyond me.I'm a new fan and i hope her music is still available on CD somewhere.

[@monakayk]

Donna is awesome! What a beautiful voice and she was such a beauty too. Love this scene. Thanks for sharing it with us so we can enjoy it.............once again.

[@rdalbright1]

I have her vinyl album with all the beach party movie songs on it. I bought it way back in 1965. It is in mint condition. I never understood why Donna wasn't another Connie Francis. Very pretty and a great voice!

You can find her on Facebook- fairly active, last I checked, and (not surprisingly) really nice.

Great voice. And very pretty lady. Thanks for posting.

[@alexxiamarieofficial]

This movie came on tv a few years back and my nana recorded it for us because she thought we would like it. Fast forward to me being almost 15 and still absolutely in love with this movie!

[@Velvetsq]

LOVED THE BEACH MOVIES! They were FABULOUS. I have them all on DVD and I pull them out when I have an extended weekend and watch as I reminisce about much fun, entertainment and joy these movies brought to me and many others. My friends and I would gather after school to each General Hospital, The Edge of Night and the 4:30 movie on ABC. When it was Frankie & Annette week it was a huge party. Loved the characters, songs, storylines and the overall beach theme. I remember Donna, the late Dick Dale singing those incredible songs. Guest Stars like Paul Lynne, Linda Evans, Keenan Wynn, Don Rickles, Dorothy Malone, Vince Price, Bela Lagose, Bob Cummings, Buster Crabbe, Morley Amsterdam, and I totally Loved Harvey Lembeck as Eric Von Zipper. GREAT, GREAT MOVIES as well an ERA in time.

[@fritzthatsit1]

I was 8 years old when I saw "Beach Blanket Bingo" at the theater. Donna Loren was my "Schoolboy Crush" as I used to look for her in the beach party movies and on tv. I love this song as well as her version of "New Love" from the same film. I think I'm still carrying a torch!

This is my favorite song by Donna,it is a love story,and moving with such a high range of voice,that you want to stop, look, and listen to her,while you have deep passion for her as a woman,as she is entertaining you.

[@whiskybeck6458]

What a great song and an even greater performer. This song is one of the highlights for me of the movie. Donna is beautiful...no Duh! And she sings with range, clarity and feeling. I feel if she hadn't gone into an early retirement she would have been one of the best known and talented vocalists of the 70s as well as the 60s. Her retirement deprived us of a fantastic, talented and beautiful artist.

[@Cherilynn100]

Donna Loren should have had hits on the radio. She never got to the top spot and was just as good if not better than her peers at the time. I love this song.

[@thecountofbasie]

Very possibly the best girl group style song in any of the Beach Party flicks (and the two with Linda Evans lip synching to Robin Ward's vocals are pretty damn great too)...unfortunately her 1965 rerecording isn't anywhere as good...but this is the one that made me want to hear more Donna, in any event...

[@pjriverdale8461]

Unfortunately, this version only exists in the film. Her record release of this is an overheated production much like a PJ Proby record. Had this been the release, it surely would have been a hit for her. AI should allow someone to remaster this and release it.

[@sherrypittman6222]

[@donkraar1116]

Donna Loren really had the goods! All she ever lacked was a big hit record. If Capitol had released this version of "It Only Hurts When I Cry" then she would have had it. Unfortunately, they rerecorded it for commercial release and the result was inferior. Those of us who followed Donna in the 1960's knew that she was the real deal.

[@tinydancer62]

I agree, this version was much better.

[@Markaromanartist]

In the late 1980’s, I loved when school was out & TBS would play marathons of the Beach movies. I never missed them. Donna Loren is my favorite in them. Now I show them to my 9yr old daughter every summer.

Strange that Donna never hit the Billboard top 100 with any of her songs. She was a good singer.

Years ago in the early 90s, I caught a movie marathon of all the 60s beach movies and this was one of them and me and my friend were fixed on Donna. She was out fave. All these years later, I still remember this song.

[@phillycinephile8282]

Love this performance. This song pops into my head quite frequently. I agree that it should have been a huge hit. However, I think my all-time fave rave Donna Loren moment is from BATMAN, when she says, "Oh! What a ball!" through The Joker's voice-distorting microphone. That became a catchphrase for my friends and I. We would be out somewhere, having a good time, and one of us would say, "Oh! What a ball!" in our best imitation of Donna's distorted voice.

[@gorgonique]

Hi Donna: what a favourite song of mine! I've always thought the reason BBB remains the most watchable and well loved of beach flicks because of its catchy songs. "It Only Hurts" is the top showstopper -- I ordered your one wonderful album on CD, 10 years back, on the strength of it. Corman and AIP were fools not to release this as a single. It could've give Lesley and Dusty and Petula a top ten run for their money. Your signature song and it's a groovy 60s masterpiece.
