About 25 years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Shelley at a charity event. She was in the midst of her long successful run as "Christine Armstrong" on the sitcom "Coach." As she signed an autograph for me, I told her that everyone else there knew her as "Christine," but that she would always be "Mary Stone" to me. She gave me a hug and said "that's the sweetest thing anyone has said to me all day." Very nice memory for this old guy.
I liked her a lot and Donna Reed show when I was growing up and I liked her even more in the series called Coach comedy she was good I hope she’s doing well God bless take care
i happened to see the movie Girl Happy back in 1978 and i had a instant crush on Shelley. I thought she was the most beautifull girl in the world. I still think her beauty and innocence from that period is unmatched, in my eyes at least :)
My first absolute crush when I was in 2nd grade and she sang Johnny Angel on the Donna reed show. Just knew she was singing Charlie Angel. Then she broke my heart. Let Elvis sing puppet on a string to her. So funny to think back on those wonderful days. So blessed to have been raised during those years.
I remember trying to find this song in the 70s. Finally found it was the Vogues. Love the increasing tempo of the song and the incredible harmony. Shelly is so gorgeous at any point in her lifetime!
This song reminds me when i came to U.S.A. not knowing english. But i whistle it all day long love it love it then and today. Thanks for sharing it. God bless America
A very good song and one that makes one reflect how much things have changed the last fifty years. There was an innocence and Romance non existent today. And Shelley Fabares looks very nice in the pictures in fact she is beautiful.
@@GeorgeWalley-fc3nxSorry to say it but you can see from movies a shift in the 1990's, not just the laddies but all Americans started putting on a lot of weight and associated health issues. I attribute it to a shift from home cooked meals made from scratch to fast food, and frozen prepared food that contains loads of chemicals. This isn't food it is factory products made by chemists. Save your health, make your own meals from scratch.
That women's lib garbage is what happened. They started burning their bras and started acting and talking like men, and got crew cuts like men. Totally discusting.
@Grandpa Ramone, junk food happened and livestyles that doesn’t require to do lots of exercises. As a result, people are more out of shape and obese now.
Shelley Fabares was born on January 19, 1944 and celebrated her 79th birthday yesterday, January 19, 2023. She was on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958-1963) and the sitcom "Coach" (1989-1997) which earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. Her recording of "Johnny Angel" reached number one (#1) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on April of 1962. It was a certified Gold Record, selling over a million copies.
Back when Ladies had class, style, wit and didn’t look for everything to offend them. They could have careers and families. She was a Sweetheart for sure.
What a great photo slide show of one our country's sweethearts and done with the perfect song by the Vogues. If you grew up in the 50s and 60s, this video will surely transport you back in time without the use of a Delorean, equipped with a flux capacitor generating 1.21 gegawatts.
WCFL1000, thank you for this remarkable tribute. Your pictures are priceless... They help to exemplify this immortal classic. She was and still is a beautiful, woman... The 65 year old... Ghost!!!
Always thought Shelley was as perfect as they get, just a stunning beauty. I was just a teenager when she used to catch my eye on-- One Day At a Time, along with the also perfect & stunning Valerie Bertinelli...!!
Was there any two more perfect and stunning beautiful girls together on one show than Valerie and Shelley? Valerie was much younger, but still a knockout, and Shelley was even more beautiful in her 30s than she was as a teen or in her 20s when she was doing 3 Elvis movies with The King. Her voice in "One Day at a Time" (as Francine Webster) was one of the sexiest of any woman, although she played a vixen and working competitor to Ann Romano, the late, great Bonnie Franklin. Shelley was born Michele Marie Fabares on Jan. 17, 1944, so she is now 74, if you can believe that! We lost her aunt, the wonderful, Nanette Fabray (at 97, on Feb. 22), who was also featured on ODAAT, sometimes with Shelley, but most episodes not.
She was like the girl next door who was not stuck up or played hard to get....pretty....personable.....funny.....loving....everything you would want for a girl at your side. She was just perfect in the role on the Donna Reed show.
WHAT A DOLL ! Like most guys watching "The Donna Reed Show" , I had a huge cush on Shelley. Loved her in "Ride The Wild Surf" !(I also had a huge crush on Donna Reed who was also a hottie) What can I say ? I'm Italian !
I grew up on this thought, and her face. I was 6 when I had thoughts of women that should like this forever. Thank you Shelley love you then and still.
Shelley is married currently to Mike Farrell, and she still looks wonderful. She has a beautiful singing voice as well. I remember he record of Johnny Angel, and she surely sounded like one. What a talented couple; Shelley as a fine film actress in addition to her fine voice, and Mike's fine acting performances as B.J. Honeycutt in MASH.
What a class act with a classic actress in a couple of Elvis movies I’ll catch if they’re on cable plus as a kid in the sixties & seventies I not only listened to WCFL for the contests they used to have I also listened to its rival WLS from good old Chitown
Don't forget that Shelley Fabares had a #1 song, Johnny Angel, on the radio while doing the Donna Reed tv show !! The kicker was, she actually didn't want to sing ANY song during the tv show's run. Either due to contractual obligations or big time arm twisting she reluctantly recorded the song and was rewarded with a Number 1 Hit on the Billboard charts ....
I heard a radio inteview with her several years ago. She was asked why she did not record more. She said "No talent." The radio announcer said what about 'Johnny Angle'. she said 'That song was a fluke.'.
Grew up with the "Donna Reed Show" and always had a thing for the super pretty Mary Stone. Heard she's had some health issues of late but glad she's still alive and kicking at age 72. I'm six years her junior and and do feel that ol' B.J. Hunnicut from the 4077th is one hell of a lucky guy.

U lucky George. U met a true angel 😇 Not like gals now in 2023.
@@brucepacetti2044 that’s the truth today is so discouraging and sad. Ladies of yesterday pure, beautiful and with such innocence ❤ ❤❤❤❤
Isn’t it unbelievable that we reach back to yesterday’s sweethearts. Shelley is still gorgeous after all these years.
I liked her a lot and Donna Reed show when I was growing up and I liked her even more in the series called Coach comedy she was good I hope she’s doing well God bless take care
What a babe! And no tattoos.
Shelley was a beautiful young woman, and she still looks great at 76. I had a crush on her when I was a kid. Loved it when she sang "Johnny Angel"
She was an angel!
Great song that fits Shelley Fabares to an absolute tee. For many she was absolutely the One.
Hey, I had the hots for both Shelley and her tv mom Donna Reed. I love the episode where she sings Johnny Angel. Great stuff.
DITTO !
Love that song too. Shelley was indeed gorgeous and beautiful.
Me too ! They were BOTH so great ! I was about 3 years younger than Shelly, but OMG !
Shelley was gorgeous.....she was best friends with the late (and equally beautiful), Annette Funicello. I miss those days....
Poor Annette had her own health issues.
She was at her bedside when she passed,RIP Annette.
And still is...😍
Me too 67 years old. Shelley has changed look for your selves!
Anette funicello
No man alive could resist that sweet little doll face of hers.
Take your like brother 👍
Can't beat 60's music.....Best years 60's, 70's .
The 80's wasn't to bad for music either, after that, it fell off the radar screen with this rap crap stuff which totally sucks.
The 60's and 70's the golden age of pop music.
Vogues. From Turtle Creek, Pa.
Shelley was a big time " Babe " in her day.
i happened to see the movie Girl Happy back in 1978 and i had a instant crush on Shelley. I thought she was the most beautifull girl in the world. I still think her beauty and innocence from that period is unmatched, in my eyes at least :)

I’ve had a crush on her all of my life. And always will.
She was just gorgeous.
And no tattoos. A natural beauty!
I remember trying to find this song in the 70s. Finally found it was the Vogues. Love the increasing tempo of the song and the incredible harmony. Shelly is so gorgeous at any point in her lifetime!
There should be an award called "The Shelly", awarded annually to the most adorable, sweetest and cutest girl in the world
TY darling! You will be MY nomination for the "Shelley Award" this year!
judith durham to win
Ooh we love Judith Durham, too!
Stunning woman! All THE BEST to Shelley and Mike ! God bless !
This song reminds me when i came to U.S.A. not knowing english. But i whistle it all day long love it love it then and today. Thanks for sharing it. God bless America
Those were the days of the 1960s long gone.We would never see its likes again.
Now here's real beauty...then and now.
I fell in love with Shelly Fabares (Mary Stone) in 1961 and have never recovered...
So did I
I like her too.
And don't forget, one of her best friends was a young lady working for Walt Disney named Annette Funicello.
Still
My favorite Shelly movie was Spinout with Elvis. She’s the only actress to star in three of his movies.
Allan Robbins I liked Clambake more but Spinout was good too.
Got that right!!!! Beautiful talented 👏 👌 ❤ lady!!!!
Elvis knew how to pick his leading ladies!!!LOL
Girl Happy , my favorite with a number of great songs .
My late buddy couldn’t get enough about Shelly. I went for her competition
One of my 1st "girl next door" crushes.Donna Reed,Elvis movies,One Day At A Time,Coach.She just got better with age.Lucky Mike!
Great tune and great tribute to Shelley.
What an innocent world The music made troubles seem less than what they were Thanks for this
A very good song and one that makes one reflect how much things have changed the last fifty years. There was an innocence and Romance non existent today. And Shelley Fabares looks very nice in the pictures in fact she is beautiful.
one stunning lady who seemed to get more beautiful as she got older
This was a damn good song. I remember it well. It still sounds just as good as it did back when I was in High School.
as shelley aged she became more and more beautiful !! tks for the video
For those of us who were lads in the early 60's, she was a joy to behold...
And still is...!!
This brings back great memories of yester year, I really enjoy these great songs
SO VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! ♥️
Any woman who is lonely, looking for Love, should study and absorb Shelly's attitude, no man could resist !
Every teenagers dream! Great tune dedicated to her! One of my favorites.
When girls were prettier.
Such a beautiful young lady.
Thank you WC for remembering the beauty of the girls of the 50's & 60's. They are still beauties even today, and so glad I know it.
She is gorgeous...... How i miss those days
One of my favorite songs from a more peaceful time. Shelly, one of my favorite actresses. Thanks for sharing.
And those of us who lived the time have never gotten over the more beautiful girl ever.
Lots of pretty pictures of the beautiful Shelley.
Perfect tune for this beauty!
Great song, great pics of Shelley = great Video!
Thanks for the great memories... :-)
wonderful beautiful lady & actress. pray she & her hubby is well
+Julie Ventura yes, they is well
Shelley, A priceless and sweet part of Americana!
You got that right , John .
Darling, sweet lady
Excuse my terrible spelling gaffes. It's HER recording of Johnny Angel, that is, Shelley Fabares. My apologies.
You've heard this a million times... But the LADIES were so beautiful back in my day. What happened???
Mary Travers and Farah Fawcett hair. It was hard to out do the sweet & lovely innocence. They tried everything. Naughty became nice.
WHAT HAPPENED?
ABORTION (MURDER OF MILLIONS OF BABIES) HAPPENED, AND THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DRIVE AND VOTE!
BIGMISTAKE !!!

Love the Vogues and Shelley Fabares.
Donna Reed was the ONE for me---- later seeing her in the movie "It's a wonderful Life" was amazing and earth shattering
Shelley Fabares was born on January 19, 1944 and celebrated her 79th birthday yesterday, January 19, 2023.

Much better than today. When women were Women!

I am still a fan of hers today, even with her multicolored hair. She is as bubbly, sweet, and knowledgeable as always.

When Shelley was on the Donna Reed Show I always thought she looked like she really could be Donna's daughter. Good casting.
