Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Done In By the Beatles: Ginny Arnell-- Part 4

Ginny Arnell has been called "the quintessential example of the girl group sound." And, listening to her music on You Tube (and there is quite a bit on it), I'd have to agree. Sadly, she was buried by the British Invasion. //// Some of her songs: "I WISH I KNEW WHAT DRESS TO WEAR" was the flipside of "HE'S MY LITTLE DEVIL" and peaked at #130. 'HE'S MY LITTLE DEVIL"-- someone wrote that this song has Gene Pitney written all over it and that he was singing harmony on it. //// "I'M CRYING TOO" from 1963, was Arnell's first release with MGM and had a really neat Japanese style chorus. //// "TROUBLE'S BACK IN TOWN" was written by Dick Flood and was a big country hit in 1962 for the Wilburn Brothers and almost got on the Pop Charts Top 100. //// "MARRIED TO YOU" and "A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE" were ballads. SNUGGLE UP BABY/ STROLLIN' THROUGH THE PARK" was by Jamie and Jane (Gene Pitney and Ginny Arnell). //// Someone wrote that they see Ginny Arnell occasionally and that she lives in Connecticut and retired from music in 1966. //// About Time for a Comeback, Ginny!! --RoadDog
