Description
CLAUDINE LONGET
Whispers the Beatles (1967)
Pop culture remembers Claudine Longet for just two achievements: her co-starring role in the 1968 Peter Sellers vehicle The Party, and her starring role in the 1976 murder of professional skier Spider Sabich. Her past marriage to singer Andy Williams doesn't quite register -- after all, Williams is barely remembered himself beyond the cozy nostalgia of the Branson set. Meanwhile, Longet's vocal albums are so utterly forgotten that they've never appeared on CD (except in Japan, where "cute pop" is practically the national pastime), have rarely been anthologized and haven't even been compiled into a decent best-of disc.
On this single she sets out to navigate a pair of pop song covers and winds up bouncing off the rails time and again with her out-of-tune warbling, leaving a rooster tail of mangled notes spraying in her wake. How in the world did a musician like Herb Alpert let this on his label? Perhaps it was all those short dresses and the winsome look. Stranger things have happened.
Songs here are her version of the Beatles' tune "Here, There, And Everywhere" and "A Man And A Woman." The songs would appear on Lp form on her 1967 Lp 'Claudine.'
