Annette Funicello

The Mickey Mouse Club was an American variety television show that aired intermittently from 1955 to 1996. Created by Walt  Disney and produced by Walt Disney Productions, the program was first televised from 1955 to 1959 by ABC, featuring a regular but ever-changing cast of teen performers. Reruns were broadcast by ABC on weekday afternoons during the 1958-59 season, right after American Bandstand. 

The Mickey Mouse Club was hosted by Jimmie Dodd, a songwriter and the Head Mouseketeer, who provided leadership both on and off screen. In addition to his other contributions, he often provided short segments encouraging young viewers to make the right moral choices.

The opening theme, "The Mickey Mouse March,"
 was written by the show's primary adult host, Jimmie Dodd. It was also reprised at the end of each episode, with the slower it's-time-to-say-goodbye verse.

Puppy Love" is a popular song written by Paul Anka in 1960 for Annette Funicello, whom he was dating at the time and wrote it in her parents’ living room, no less. The song reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100  and #33 on the UK Singles Chart.

"Tall Paul" is a song recorded by Annette funicello and written by the Sherman Brothers. It marked the first time that a female singer reached a top ten slot for a rock and roll  single. "Tall Paul" was credited to Annette and the Afterbeats and reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1959. It was the highest-charting song by Annette Funicello and also one of the shortest, clocking in at 1 minute and 38 seconds. The lyrics were written with Paul Anka in mind.

On April 8, 2013, Annette Funicello died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, California, at the age of 70, due to complications of multiple sclerosis.  We'll miss her.

               Annette was one of "many Teen Sweethearts" in the 50's.
