Actually, Cheryl Ladd did not sing lead on any version of "Stop, Look And Listen". Some versions feature the sped-up vocals of Patrice Holloway, but it's always Patrice singing. Cheryl did sing lead on the excellent tracks "Lie, Lie, Lie", "Inside, Outside, Upside-Down" and "The Time To Love." There was a fourth Pussycat: Sue Steward, known today as Sue Sheridan, sang background on all the tracks. She co-wrote most of the songs and did all the vocal arrangements.

I never knew it was Cheryl Ladd on those tunes-as a kid anyways. It was a fun time.

One of my favorite cartoons ever! Even though every episode was basically the same, the music was ill! At some point in my life I will drop the dough on that cd. I am jealous of those that have it and angry with myself for not buying it when it was initially released. Thank you for these two songs.

...and some of the music for the Josie movie was written by Adam Schlesinger who is in....Ivy.

See, it all comes together, people.

Thank you, John, for (partially) filling in a major gap in my music collection. I'm completely serious. Of course, now I'll have to figure out how to label these tunes to set them apart from the Josie & the Pussycats film soundtrack of a few years back.

I would hope all Popdosers are already up to speed on how great that soundtrack is. Killer power-pop songwriting...and Kay Hanley singing. What more could a guy want?

I very much hope to someday hear all the songs on that Rhino Handmade CD, but alas, I cannot afford to spend $250 on an out-of-print disc on my nonexistent Popdose salary. (Hint, hint...)

"Trivia note - while Ladd sings lead on the album, Holloway sings lead in the version used on the cartoon"

Thank god I never made room in my head for the pythagorean theorem or the atomic number of halite cause I had JUST enough room up ther for one more important bit of girl band pop culture trivia. That space is now occupied with this info about a fave Josie and the Pussycats deep cut. My favorite deep cut, next only to your coin slot, angelhore! XO, Tits!
