    You’re right - she’s great. Whoever she is, she’d have been a perfect 70s Supreme lead singer

    SONGSTRESS GIGI GALON re-
    vealed her greatest ambition
    to Mike Stephens, host of "The
    Mike Stephens S h o w," seen
    Wednesdays on WCAX-TV, Bur-
    lington, Vt. Miss Galon one day
    hopes to see her name on
    Billboard's Hot 100. Gigi, who
    recently appeared at the Ritz
    Carlton Hotel supper club in
    Montreal, is slated for an ap-
    pearance on the 'Tonight" show
    later this week. Mike has in-
    troduced a number of upcoming
    artists on his shows during his
    deejay days in Montreal and
    current TV show. Among these
    were Connie Francis, the Four
    Aces, Paul Anka, the Crew-Cuts
    and Johnny Mathis.

    This 45 may not have been reviewed in trade publication, but Gigi Galon was first mentioned in Billboard March 23 1963 page 42 [[appearing on a Vermont TV program). She also appeared on The Steve Allen TV show June 26, 1963. Cash Box November 4 1967 page 36 said she would soon tour England and appear on TV shows with Engelbert Humperdinck. Given the Arranger and the reference to Lindon Records it is likely that this 45 was recorded while she was in the U.K. Her bio in a 1967 Humperdinck tour program indicates she was born in San Francisco and one year earlier was working as an executive secretary at CBS-TV in Hollywood when a studio announcer heard her sing, resulting in an audition and contract with Dot Records.

    I don't really care for this version an awful lot. Give me Diana any day of the week.

    Excellent. She puts real feeling into it. Not sure about the scenery flying around.
