My Molly Bee Disappointments.plus 5 Great song videos.

One day I saw Molly Bee a country singer performing at the Ohio State Fair at that time I was 8 years old and Molly was 18.She sang "I saw Mamma kissing Santa Clause" and other great songs.

I don't know what it is but at the age of 8 and below am I suppose to hate girls ?  Anyway I heard she appeared on "The Pinky Lee Show" and my parents let me stay up on those nights even tough it was a school night.

Later in the 1960's she appeared on "The Jimmy Dean show" and since I was 13 then I didn't have to ask to stay up late.

Now in 1961 I heard she was going to perform at "The Ohio State Fair" again. I tried to buy my ticket and I was ask how old I was.  I told him 13 (I could have lied and said 12) anyway I was 50 cents short.I did not get to see her perform that day ,but I still heard her from the outside, so I sat on a outside bench until the show was over. I guess then I was too honest.

Then in 1967 she appeared in the movie "Hillbillys In The Haunted House"  yes, I know Hillbillys is spelled wrong but that's how it appeared in the movie title.Actually it should be Hillbillies.

I was anxious to see Molly Bee to show up in that movie but she only appeared once and sang just one song. :(  Molly Bee died at the age of 69 in the year 2009.

How is the world treating you-Molly Bee

You Don't Know Me--Molly Bee

Below are two more versions of the song "You Don't Know Me" even tough the song title is the same ,the lyrics are different. Now if you're an adult you may want to play the Liz Gillies song first .The music is going to be loud with the danger of being "almost" close to heavy metal.
The one from Ray Charles is the sweet sentimental one ;Just like the Molly Bee version.Yes, musical taste changes when one grows up.

You Don't Know Me--Ray Charles

You Don't Know Me--Elizabeth Gillies

Now at the beginning of this post I wrote that I was 8 years old and Molly Bee 18  we've never met but I do believe it would make a great tv sitcom where something happens to the 8 year old parents and his female baby sitter  (18 years old) has to take custody almost like "The Odd Couple" or "Sam & Cat" but this time there is an added age factor.It may be cruel but they 'll have to explain where the kid came from.
Below is the song "Born Too Late" it's not all bass in some earlier songs they added treble and midrange to fan the music out.
