  • Karen has always been one of my favorite mousketeers, but I never realized Jimmy Dodd wrote a song for her until I found it recently on an old Mickey Mouse Club record. Enjoy!

    I'm 72 years old and boy, did I want curls like Karen's. If I live to be a hundred I'll never have curls like Karen's. Luckily CZcams gives me the opportunity to envy them any time I want ;)
    Rest in Peace, Karen Pendleton

    I just found this and it MADE MY DAY. When I was a little kid I loved Karen ( the older woman in my life ) as she was 9 and I was 7. Anyway, at that young age I used to pick her up with my fingers off the TV screen and carry her around in my front pocket... a little strange according to my mother. It's been 60 years and seeing this clip brought back the feeling. I wish her luck in all she does and am sure she realizes all the joy she spread, then and now with her heartwarming smile.

    For those that don't know, Karen was in a car accident in 1983 and has been in a wheelchair ever since. Although she's not dancing anymore, she went on to finish college and has done a lot of work for causes relating to disabled people. You can see her dancing in the 1980 Mickey Mouse Club Reunion TV Special, which is also here on YT.

    Jimmie Dodd was a songwriter by trade. He wrote most of the music that you hear on the Mickey Mouse Club.
    Karen Pendleton was one of only nine who were with the Mickey Mouse Club (MMC) for its entire run. After the show ended, she did a couple of MMC-related tours and left show business.

    We know that Jimmie Dodd wrote a song about Karen. I've read that he also wrote a song about Annette.. and I KNOW that he wrote a song about Darlene as well (I've seen a picture of the sheet music)..but does anyone know if these songs about Annette and Darlene were recorded, or did Jimmy sing these songs on the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB ? Thanks~

      @joshuab36 Před 8 lety +1

      +FASinatra1 Jimmie's "Annette" song was recorded (and it was featured on one of the Mickey Mouse Club episodes) but i'm not sure about Darlene's.

      “When I Grow Up” was sung by Darlene Gillespie. There’s a video of her performing the song on the MMC here on CZcams

    You did a great job cleaning up the song. You'ld think it was a digital remaster. I had this on an album, from 1962.

    They won't, because they want to release it as a DVD collection first, and they know that if they re-run it, everybody will record it, and they'll lose revenue. Sad as it is to say, Disney is all about money.

    @MrJgohde Před 4 lety +2

    Going back to the very first season. I was 5 while Karen was 8. I rather doubt that both of us were remotely interested in being a couple with the opposite sex at that young an age. From 8, Karen went to 9, 10, 11, 12. Gee, even 12 was too young an age to be remotely interested in boys in the 6th grade. At those young ages, boys stuck with boys and girls hanged out with other girls. While Disney came up with plenty of song and dance routines, I rather doubt that Karen was remotely interested in Cubby at that young an age. Yet, here we see, so to speak, Hollywood trying to force adult behavior upon young children back in 1955. Fast forward to today, and look at the mess that the country is in. Gee, I wonder?

    The other girls were jealous of her? Don't think so. Jimmy was exaggerating a trifle when he wrote this.

    What a pity that Walt Disney never allowed any black kids to be Mouseketeers, so that they too could feel "as welcome as can be". What a good and deep and profound change that might have had on the world, how mournful that such an opportunity was lost.

  • @eddieramos7857
    @eddieramos7857 Před 4 lety

    One thing about those days is that for sure the color of the skin played a big part in auditions . Now a days you see latinos and blacks taking part in kids programs , but those days it seems like they didn't get the opportunity .
