[@barbj9785]

Johnny Angel was my first record ever. Loved this song. Back then we had to wait for reruns to see it again on tv. Shelly had a sweet voice

[@TheNewenglandboys]

Thank you Shelley Farares for being Mary on Donna Reed and for one of the greatest songs of the 60s, Johnny Angel! Very special

[@plentifullove30]

Wow..i never knew this. Her voice is SO beautiful!!

[@jerrynewman1380]

I grew up back then..it was a good time in life and I'm glad I was there to live it...

[@jamesb.9155]

Indeed it was.

[@redcreektex316]

We all had a crush on "Mary Stone"! To this day its still one of my favorite songs. Man we had good music!

[@maxinerhynes4024]

One of my favorite song my steady name was Johnny and my brother both have past on and it comforts me to here this song.

[@jamesb.9155]

Awe . . . Sorry for your losses.

[@allgood6760]

Thank you! .. for me this song is THE most beautiful song in the history of music... she is so innocent like sn angle 🎶👍

[@tonylam9548]

If it took top back up singers to squeeze the best out of Shelley and get a number one, it is all worth it. She is worth it.

[@russ5024]

The engineers in the recording studio did their best to make her sound good. Recording the song was done to help the show compete for better ratings at the time.

[@dboy6400]

I remember seeing that show. My heart melted.

[@susangeiger2654]

Beautiful song and she sings it beautifully.

[@bobwitkowski6410]

I loved that clip because Shelly and Donna are in it. Two of the most hottest women that ever lived.

[@jamesb.9155]

Just imagine being such a beautiful woman for our whole life! Absolutely one of the most beloved song videos of my life . . .

[@rachellynn5454]

Shelley Fabares: "Johnny Loves Me".

[@thecallofthesoulfoundation9902]

It didn't hurt that Shelly was such a beautiful young lady... A great song and a great little interview. 🙂

[@VILJL]

Shelley Fabares was born on January 19, 1944 and celebrated her 80th birthday today, January 19, 2024. She was on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958-1963) and the sitcom "Coach" (1989-1997) which earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. Her recording of "Johnny Angel" reached number one (#1) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on April of 1962. It was a certified Gold Record, selling over a million copies. I was in eight grade at Miami Springs Junior High School when this song was popular

[@alanritchie9781]

This lady a doll.

[@merseybeat1963]

Lucky the song was so superb..but she sang it nicely as well..and those background singers were top level.

[@hectormedina7198]

May you Rest In Peace, Shelley.

[@tonylam9548]

The rumor of her death are greatly exaggerated. ....Mark Twain.

[@lynntempleton9640]

Does Mike Farrell know?

[@Lkhrobertson]

❤

[@PatrickWhite-c4o]

coming from a golf outing three guys who didnt play together or know each other got into a van to go back to the hotel. Johnny Angel came on the radio....the driver went to change the channel and all three of us just about in unison yelled out.... dont' touch it! leave it or something....we were all different ages......she was somethig

[@joesampson7724]

Shelley could sing; and well. She underestimates herself.

[@phila3884]

Despite what Phil Ochs said, the funny thing is not that she couldn't sing, it was that she COULD sing. She of the most beautiful natural singing voices of the early rock era- she was just untrained.

[@alanoneill3065]

She seems a nice person

[@jimmymars1249]

She's easy to be fallen in love with.

[@davidoverholt251]

We all did back in the day!

[@philmitchell3337]

Jupita,,we can't change that.

[@allanjohnson1768]

I miss mom

[@jimmymars619]

Is she the one interviewing with the man Shelley Fabares?She's super lovely.She can be being fallen in love with the first glance.

[@ricardosanabria8211]

Please tell me, are the mom and the singer the same girls? Really, I don't know.

[@charles2241]

No, the mom is Donna Reed. They had similar hairstyles about that time anyway. their eyebrows are almost exactly the same. Donna looked quite young too, with that hairstyle.

[@edgefan4437]

Interesting her album sold over 3 million copies and she wasn't really a singer. Did they have autotune back then? I don't think they did but they had other tricks I'm sure.

[@russ5024]

Sound engineers in the studio can make most anyone sound good, even back then!

[@anthonyrobertson2011]

She could be a singer, she just had no interest in polishing up her ability. Most everyone can sing, it's just a matter of time, training, and work. Which is fine.

[@criskatan]

She "was raised a very good Catholic girl"? Yeah right!! Probably more like raised as Phoenician Navy. I mean, she did end up marrying Lou Adler. So there you go.

[@gordondahle7583]

She has a nice voice. I’m guessing that she’s tone deaf to one degree or another.

[@abneryokum]

I doubt it. She nails every note in this take, at least.
