Academy Award - the Single

This one surprised me - an avid Bernadette Peters fan. I thought I knew most trivia from her archives. But it was a throw back Thursday #tbt link on her Twitter feed shared this week. Apparently while she was playing the footlights at a young age in NYC, she was also jumping on the bandwagon of popular song.

In 1962 she released a single on United Artists records called "Academy Award." It sounds like Brenda Lee, Leslie Gore or a large handful of others all coming out at that same time. I assume it never really charted it as I have never heard it. But here it is in full Mono to be shared in homage to yesterday's Red Carpet.
