Annie Golden 80's Diva?

lol reminds me of the Annie Golden demos floating around of "Welcome to the 60's" "Mama I'm a Big Girl Now" from Hairspray

and wasn't Annie in the film Hair?

She was lead singer of "The Shirts" which was a new wave band in the late 1970's and early '80s.

hair the movie, right? wasn't it Frank Mills, and isnt it on the movie cd??

Go directly to e-bay, do not pass go, do not collect $200 - and when the demo CD of Hairspray is offered - GET IT...preferrably the 5 or 9 song demo (there is also a shorter one). Annie Golden is spectacular - and this demo is ten times better than the cast CD. After listening to it over and over, the cast CD came as a real disappointment (although I LOVED the show).

And when she plays gigs with her band in clubs--- go see her. She rocks.

What was that crazy reading she did recently of a new musical spoof - the Wild Women of the Planet Wongo (or some such title)...it was terrific with great 60s music and a truly wacky performance by Annie.

They are going to play it regionally before bringing it in to NYC.

she sang 'air', not 'frank mills' (both were cut from the movie, but remain on the soundtrack). the film is full of great theatre performers, including nell carter, charaine woodard, laurie beechman, ellen foley and the voice of betty buckley.

a seriously underrated movie.

I had no idea that Annie did demo Hairspray recordings. Why did she make those? Was she in the running for a role or something? (Sorry if this has been discussed before. I don't have time to read all of the threads.)

Yes, Piglet, she sang "Hang Up The Phone". It was the first time I had heard the song or saw the video and I got such a kick out of it! She looked really good in it. I know that I have seen 16 Candles a number of times, but I simply do not remember that song. Isn't that strange?

I am going to have to keep my eyes open for those Annie Golden Hairspray recordings, though. I am quite curious now.
