Gee Whiz - The Innocents

Gee Whiz - The Innocents
2:29
Written by Jeanne Vikki and Jimmie Thomas

An aw-shucks vocal pop love song, in the softer doo-wop ballad style.  It was originally recorded by Bob & Earl in 1958.  It's a little sappy ("How can you talk to an angel? / What words would you say?") but sweet.  After a couple of hits but no follow-ups, this trio was relegated to being the backup vocals of her label-mate Kathy Young.  The music business is unforgiving.
