BETTY JOHNSON

Hallo Ralf!
Tut mir leid, dass ich den "Little Blue Man" nicht habe, der übrigens bei uns nur von Petula Clark zu haben war:
METRONOME
?? 58...B 45-1183...PETULA CLARK Little Blue Man/Baby Lover (UK: PYE 15126)

Aber du hast mich inspiriert. Betty Johnson war bei uns schon von gewisser Bedeutung. Wer kennt nicht ihr "Hoopa Hoola". Immerhin gab es bei uns drei LONDON-Singles von ihr, von denen ich leider keine Einzige habe:

07 57...DL 20 087...BETTY JOHNSON I Dreamed/If It's Wrong To Love You (BALLY 1020)
12 57...DL 20 120...Betty Johnson with Orchestral Accompaniment 1 4 9 2/Little White Lies (BALLY 1033)
11 58...DL 20 194...Betty Johnson With Instrumental Accompaniment Hoopa Hoola/One More Time (ATLANTIC 2002)

Die folgenden Scans sind ausschließlich US-Pressungen. Hier noch zum Abschluß dein Beitrag, damit alles zusammenbleibt:

Hallo Gerd,

wenigstens eine deutsche London-Pressung von Ms. Johnson kann ich vorzeigen: "Hoopa Hula" / "One More Time" (DL 20194).
Dazu noch zwei US-Pressungen:
"I Dreamed" / "If It's Wrong To Love You" (Bally 7-1020). Mein Exemplar ist als Demonstrations-Exemplar offensichtlich an eine deutsche Plattenfirma geschickt worden.
"You And Only You" (Sedaka/Greenfield-Titel) / "Does Your Heart Beat For Me?" (Atlantic 45-2019)

MfG, Volker

Kurz-Bio:
Die Sängerin Betty Johnson wurde am 16. März 1929 (in manchen Bios auch 1931) in Guilford County, North Carolina, geboren. Begonnen hat ihre Gesangs-Karriere mit den Johnson Family Singers, wo sie mit ihren Eltern und drei Brüdern religiöse Lieder sang. Diese Formation gewann einen Song-Contest in Charlotte, North Carolina, und war dann von 1938 bis 1951 bei der lokalen Radiostation WBT (AM) on Air. Betty versuchte sich ab etwa 1943 nebenbei bei COLUMBIA auch solo, aber mit geringem Erfolg. 1948 erhielt sie aber eine eigene 15-minütige Radio-Sendung. 1951 wollte sie Percy Faith zu COLUMBIA zurück bringen, stieß aber bei Mitch Miller auf taube Ohren, da ihm Doris Day und Rosemarie Clooney für den Pop-Bereich ausreichend genug waren. 1954 produzierte Eddy Arnold mit ihr unter anderem ein Kinder-Album, welches bei BELL veröffentlicht wurde.
