But even if Susanna Hoffs were not in the previous post, I have to say that Ms. Smith has more of a radio voice. "Foxy lady" is not a term that comes to mind. Moving on, in my world of "free association", "Teenage Lust" segues to the more innocuous "Teenage Crush" by Tommy (no relation to Evie) Sands. Back in 2005, both Tommy and Evie performed at Art Fein's Elvis Birthday Bash (at different times in the show), the only time they were ever together except in Joel Whitburn's "Top 100" book. That show also featured Obediah "Young" Jesse, who once sang with the Coasters. The term "teenage" shows up in a lot of songs: for examples, "Teenage Letter" by Joe Turner (recorded when he was in his 40s) and "Teenage Prayer" by Dolly Cooper. Then we have Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers (Mr. Lymon's life story is a sad tale) and Betty and Rosie Collins, the Teen Queens. I still remember seeing the Six Teens featuring Trudy Williams on TV in the 1950s, singing "A Casual Look". Tommy Sands might be grouped with Fabian and Frankie Avalon as a "Teen Idol". For a really obscure number, we'll wrap up with "We Teenagers" by the Emanons (spell it backwards, it's a very appropriate group name).Bob Davisnoreply@blogger.com
