Don't Make Me Over by Donna Loren

More Info: http://www.DonnaLoren.com - Ms. Loren's 2015 New Year’s Resolution was to re-learn 100 songs she recorded and/or performed in the Sixties. In the privacy of her home she is documenting the process and releasing the videos on this channel as she goes along.

When she first heard Dionne Warwick’s voice ringing out through a car radio in San Francisco, she was hooked. This song speaks to a very personal feeling she has about acceptance. Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, this song was Dionne Warwick's 1962 debut as a hit maker.

Donna Loren was the one-and-only "Dr Pepper Girl" from 1963 to 1968. She was signed to a long-term contract with the soft-drink company to sing all television and radio commercials, do all magazine and billboard advertising representing them in every capacity, sometimes sharing the spotlight with "American Bandstand's" Dick Clark. This relationship led to her touring in "Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars" with other popular acts like The Supremes and singing solos in the popular Beach Party films starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. Later, she became the regular female vocalist on the popular 60's American live rock n roll TV show "Shindig" and she appeared in singing and acting roles in many iconic TV shows like "The Monkees", "Batman", "Gomer Pyle", "The Mothers-In-Law", "Red Skelton", "Milton Berle" and various game shows. In the 60's she released 20 singles and an LP. Listen to her latest CD entitled "Love It Away" at http://DonnaLoren.com.
