TAMMY is
another famous Livingston & Evans title song. It was
written for Debbie Reynolds to sing in the Universal
picture, “Tammy and The Bachelor”. The Debbie Reynolds
record was a huge hit, and the song received an Oscar
nomination in 1957. When they didn’t win, the president
of the Motion Picture Academy told them they didn’t
receive the award because of a promotion Universal sent
out to all Academy members: a letter written in a girl’s
handwriting and signed, TAMMY, asking for votes. The
Academy members apparently resented this blatant
advertising, although today this sort of thing is
rampant. |
