Eddie
Cochran co-wrote the song 'Oo Ba la baby' with Jerry capehart, Lennie
Adelson and Les Baxter. It is not sure if Eddie Cochran is present on
'Go Go Calypso'. The PREP recordings (a division of Capitol Records) were
made available on a now
out of print
limited edition CD (500 copies pressed) on the Belgian Marginal
Records label (MAR 062): 'The Girl Who Invented Rock 'n' Roll'. Special note:
for the movie soundtrack a different set of recordings of the four songs was
made which doesn't feature Eddie Cochran. |
|
|
|
1950s "sex bomb" Mamie Van Doren, born February 6,
1931 could act, but reviewers seldom got any farther than commenting on
her torpedo bras and skin-tight capri pants. She made her professional bow
as a band singer, acting in stock companies before signing a contract with
Universal Pictures in 1953. There would be a few A pictures in her future,
notably the Clark Gable-Doris Day comedy 'Teacher's Pet (1958), but Van
Doren's career was mainly devoted to tawdry exploitation programmers and
drive-in quickies. She became the resident Marilyn Monroe-type for
fast-buck producer Albert Zugsmith in the late 1950s and early 1960s,
starring in such films as 'The Beat Generation' (1958), The Big Operator
(1959), The Private Lives of Adam and Eve (1960), and her signature film,
'Sex Kittens Go To College' (1960). She also showed up in the
"musical j.d." epic 'Born Reckless' (singing five songs) and as
a neurotic striptease artist in director Tommy Noonan's tickle-and-tease
farce Three Nuts in Search of a Bolt (1964). Disappearing from films in
the 1970s, Van Doren continued popping up at important Hollywood social
functions and awards presentations, as zaftig and exhibitionist as ever,
much to the delight of her ever-growing fan club. In 1987 Mamie Van Doren
wrote her memoirs, Playing the Field, in which she claims she slept with
practically every male star in the entertainment industry (Hal Erickson,
All Movie Guide). |
