PS: I've just launched my blog "60s (mostly) Uncomped" w/ a selection of rare 60s tracks collected from various blogs (including yours, all bloggers named). Have a look at http://michaelvee.livejournal.com download the mp3s & let me know your comments!    

I remember the girls in the back of the bus singing to Blue Navy Blue . Now I know who sung it. thanks I feel nine years old again. I wonder what Karen is up to ?

thanks Keith    

Oh, wow! I never knew there was a vocal version of "Java"! I was a Al Hirt head back in 1964; "Honey In The Horn" was one of my first LPs. Thanks for this, and for a great blog!    

Looking at that cover, I am wondering if there was an answer record called "My Girlfriend Got A Really Big Afro."    

Does anyone have any info on Donna Lynn at all? Where she is now, what became of her, contact info, etc? Thanks!    

Only a year or so late in joining the conversation. Wondering if Marc ever got an answer about Donna Lynn's whereabouts?    

I'd like to know more about Donna Lynn too!
Her "Java Jones" song of 1964 was one of the best for that year.

Seems she was Canadian and born in 1950.

There were (allegedly) two other versions of the "Java Jones" song -
one by "Donna Douglas" (PYE Record 7N.15654 ), and another by "The Chicks" (no info.at this stage).

I remember the song from 1964, but I can't remember which version we got here in Australia (I think it was Donna Lynn, but I'm not sure).    

I love the Donna Lynn songs. And have made many attempts to obtainn them all. In fact, I already succeeded already in the ones on the LP.

However I still miss three titels that should exist:
Silly Girl(1964)
I'm Sorry More Than You Know (1965)
I (it?) was Raining (1967)

Has anyone ever heard these?

Best wishes, Machteld    

Additionally A Japanese site mentions: DONNA　LOVES　JERRY on an album that is called: "Donna Lynn,Capitol and Epic Years"

Donna Lynn is my penfriend.She sends me CDs of Beatles cover versions.I send her rock candy from here in Blackpool    

THanks A lot    

That's amazing. If she's your penpal, then that would mean she's still alive and well!

Can anyone help with contact info, information on other projects she's done, or just a simple update on her life since... 1964?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!    

Donna Lynn was, and I hope still is a great woman. I went out with her back in 1969, and I wish I never would have left her. Her full name is Donna Lynn Albano. She was adopted, I believe she was Lithuanian Descent. Prior to recording, she had a part on Broadway as a kid. The stress was to much for her and her age. When I met her, she still sang, sometimes at the "Ship Ahoy" in New Rochelle. But then, she no longer wanted music as a carreer. She studied cosmetology , hair dressing,styles, etc;
It's been 40 years now, and I miss her even more. If anyone does know where she might be,tell her Ed from the Bronx still loves her, and I never forgot our night in Central Park.    

Can you please send me the songs to swinging60ies@aol.com??? Thanks a million!!!    

contact me at my email address. I'll try to make a CD from an album. doctorpoian@gmail.com

Well, it's 2012, still no word about Donna. Guess I'll never know. LU

Ed    

September 2012, still no word. Someone out there must know something. Her younger brother recorded with her on the song "I'm the brother". He must still be around. I still remember her red Chevy Ss 1968 convertible that I borrowed.    

September 2014, Still waiting.
Ed    

Was her brother Frankie Albano? He had a single on Capitol records subsidiary Tower Records in 1965....    

Yes, that would be him.
   

I don't know that her name is Donna Lynn Albano, however... her song Ronnie is copyrighted under the name Carmen Albano being listed as the pseudonym for Donna Lynn.    

That was the mothers name.

I know this is an old blog, but I am still very interested in trying to learn about Donna's whereabouts or how to get in touch with her. I first heard her music back in 2013 at my grandmother's place, and I've been a huge fan of hers ever since. My love for music from the 40s to the 70s started with my grandmother's influence, and it continues to be strong even today.

Despite my efforts to research online where to get in contact with Donna, I wasn't able to find much information apart from this blog. I did notice someone commented on here that she has a brother named Frankie, and I managed to come across an article of a guy named Frankie Albano on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tarot/comments/hg3tex/how_many_of_you_know_of_the_albanowaite_tarot/

I am wondering if this is the Frankie who is her brother?..

I really hope someone here can provide me with an update on Donna or at least point me in the right direction to contact her. I would love to express my admiration for her music and how much it means to me. ❤️
   

Hello... For the past few years, I have also been trying to find Donna Lynn. Actually found some people who knew her, but no clues to her current whereabouts. It's ironic that both she and her brother have somehow disappeared. My name is Bob, and if you find anything new, please contact me at hdnite@earthlink.net. Thanks!    

Well, it's October 22, 2024. Not a word from Donna. Guess i'm getting up in years and would still like to hear from her, I'll be 79 In June of next year, and I would like to tell her something I have been carrying around for over 54 years.
