Shelley Fabares, an American actress and singer, was born Michele Ann Marie Fabares on January 19, 1944. While she gained considerable notoriety for her role as Mary Stone on the hit television sitcom "The Donna Reed Show" from 1958 to 1963, Shelley also made a notable impact in the music industry during the 1960s. Her singing career took off when she recorded the title track "Johnny Angel" for an episode of the show, which unexpectedly soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1962. Building on her musical momentum, the young starlet released a string of albums, prominently featuring her clear, melodious voice.

Among her musical releases, "Shelley!" was her debut studio album, which capitalized on her initial singing success and included "Johnny Angel." Following the album, she released a series of singles and albums such as "The Things We Did Last Summer," demonstrating her versatility and embracing the sweet, wholesome image she'd garnered through her acting career. Though subsequent releases never quite matched the prominence of "Johnny Angel," Shelley's contribution to music includes the compilation album "All the Hits and More," which brought together her most treasured recordings, and the charmingly nostalgic "Funny Face!" which showcases her enduring appeal. While Shelley Fabares' career eventually transitioned more towards acting, including a long-running role on the television series "Coach," her early work in music remains a cherished part of her artistic legacy.
