ShowMeTalkRadio with Donna Linn

Smarter Radio on The Worldwide Web!

Jukebox showcases singers, songwriters, and musicians from a variety of musical genres.  Hosted by Donna Linn, Jukebox features the music of both aspiring and established artists from around the world.

From April 16-20, TCM will pay tribute to the teen beach movies of the 1960s with nightly offerings of bikini-clad babes, tanned hunks, and rock 'n' roll music. Hosted by Tom Lisanti and Ben Mankiewicz.

TCM Press release: "TCM Spotlight: Spring Break – April 16-20 As millions of college students embark on the annual party pilgrimage known as Spring Break, TCM throws down a blanket and cranks up the radio with a five nights of non-stop fun. Favorites in the lineup include Where the Boys Are (1960), Gidget (1959), Beach Party (1963), Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) and Blue Hawaii (1961). Also featured are the TCM premieres of The Girls on the Beach (1965), Beach Ball (1965), Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965) and its inevitable sequel, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs (1966). Of course, not everyone heads to the beach for Spring Break, so TCM is setting aside April 20 for the snow bunnies, with Ski Party (1965) kicking off a triple feature on the slopes."

Donna Loren, 60's Pop Icon, Releases New Single for Digital Download

February 25, 2012, Los Angeles, CA  – The 1960's "Dr Pepper Girl" has released an original composition entitled "Moonlight Kisses" for digital download that is available on iTunes, Amazon and other major distributors and streaming music services. Ms Loren was the producer and sang all of the vocals on the track. She wrote the song in Sedona, AZ in 1995 after falling in love. The track was recorded in 2009 at Lava Track Studios in Hawaii. “It was a privilege to collaborate with Grammy Award-winning guitarist and Palm Records founder, Charles Michael Brotman. His masterful guitar playing and my stacked vocals is a wonderful marriage of West Coast meets Polynesia.”

"Donna Loren's music and acting pedigree reaches back to the 1960s. From her early days as the spokesperson for Dr Pepper to her singing performances in many of the Beach Party movies to her becoming a regular on the Shindig! television series, she established herself as a female teen idol…. It's nice to have Donna Loren alive and well and performing again. While she has connections back to the 1960's, she should not be considered a nostalgia act, as her sound has since been modernized." – David Bowling, BLOGCRITICS.ORG, April 5, 2011
