So, yesterday I had the TV on, but I was doing something else so I wasn't looking at it. And then, I heard the voice of Shirley Temple! THAT made me look, since I am a true and devoted life-long Shirley Temple fan. It was a commercial, and as I watched it play out, I thought "Oh! I'll bet this is a Target commercial." Yes, indeedy. I don't know how they do it, but they manage to get permission to use some of the greatest music (in my opinion.) I was delighted. "Early Bird" is from "Captain January" - one of my favorites. But then, they are ALL my favorites. Like to hear it? Here it goes......
I have seen that commercial twice now. It always grabs my attention. I hope it is the start of a few lovely Shirley Temple songs on Target commercials. I wish they would play it through more though. I need to get my new laptop hooked up to satellite so I can watch your attachment. Great post. Love T
Heidi Ann, you won't believe it! I saw that commercial the other day and it made me sad. Why? Because my mother was one of Shirley's biggest fans ever. My mother passed in 2009 so I have her Shirley doll, scrapbooks, book collection and genuine Shirley autograph. My mom met Shirley and went to the premieres of her movies and even watched the scene in Captain January where Shirley wore the sailor outfit and danced with Buddy Ebsen. Mother was with playmates on their bikes and came across the filming and peeked through holes in a fence to watch the filming! I will send you photos by email of the doll and collection. Candice
i used to love the show that shirley 'hosted' that did fairy (and other) tales - think it was on sunday night. i remember it in black and white. loved all her movies.
