Pre-Jeannie Barbara Eden

021.jpg

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.

Call me

Maybe he’s just not that into you? Or maybe you should get the cord and plug it in! There are lots of great lp covers that revolve around the phone. In addition to “where’s the phone”, I have tagged this one “the big hurt” which is that burning pain associated with unrequited love. Look for the others and you’ll get the picture.
