| Whose version of ''If They Could See Me Now'' is Lypsinka doing? And what's the name of the second tune (''Popularity''?) and its singer? Thanks! | |

| Thanks, EmeraldAisle. Due to your tip, I found both songs on Marilyn Maye's 1968 album, ''The Happiest Sound in Town.'' As for ''Popularity,'' it was written by George M. Cohan and Albert Stillman, and featured in the 1968 Broadway musical ''George M!'' American Dance Machine has re-created its ''Popularity'' number (below). Joe Layton won the Tony that season for Choreography. |

| The short answer is I don't know. Lypsinka has a vast collection of obscure recordings and loves to feature singers who are not widely known. She has loads of live club acts with second or third tier gals. Her character is an amalgam of these late 50s early 60s gems. | |
