Pop Con 2020 - Musical Reunion w/ America's Girl Next Door: The Concept Albums of Annette Funicello

Decades before the careers of Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera were kick-started on the All-New Mickey Mouse Club, one original Mouseketeer found herself an accidental multimedia phenom. The story of Annette Funicello’s ascendance as one of Disney’s first and youngest (non-animated) celebrities, and how her recording career fit into the popular music landscape of the 1960s, is a revealing look at how young stars were marketed to their adoring public. On her six albums released while under contract with Disney, and on several tie-in records to her later Beach Party movies, Annette carried on the traditions of the era’s established ‘adult’ singers and helped lay the foundation for the burgeoning rock reclamation of the concept album.
