Shelley’s Suitors

Shelley Fabares

Here’s a fun musical novelty that I somehow hadn’t noticed until now. James Darren, Paul Peterson, and Shelley Fabares were the “Teenage Triangle.” The title and cover design of the album implied a romantic competition for Shelley’s affection, which is a bit odd considering that Paul had played Shelley’s kid brother on “The Donna Reed Show.”

The first album did well enough to rate a follow-up. A lot of the songs sound as though they were intended to appeal to parents more than their teenage children.

One thought on “Shelley’s Suitors”

  1. Great for what ails you, whether it be a rotten tooth (you), or a malfunctioning stomach (me). Life was so …. innocent back then!! Yeah, sort of weird, though, the love triangle, with Paul having played Shelley’s kid brother!
