“I’ve been enjoying your website for some time now. It never fails to brighten my day. Anyway, I was transferring some vinyl over for a friend and found this great specimen. She’s a beauty, and it would go nicely in ‘The Big Hurt’, I’m sure. — Eric Carpenter

What do you see when you drink?

This is a young Barbara Eden of “I Dream of Jeannie” fame. Imagine Jeannie smoking and drinking in a sexy negligee and fuzzy slippers. Major Nelson! This is on the Bethlehem jazz label with music by jazz singer Herb Jeffries. Jeffries sang with big bands, (most notably with the Duke Ellington Orchestra), and starred in B-movie westerns in the forties and fifties. He was married to Tempest Storm the famous burlesque queen (”Teaserama” with Bettie Page) and was known as the “Bronze Buckaroo.” But it’s this sexy cover of the prudish Jeannie that would blow the mind of any seven year-old in the mid-sixties fantasizing about having a girl in a bottle.
