Super Saturday Salvation 5

 Five am, time for share number five. Not sure if anyone is even up and playing along this early in the day on the US east coast, but maybe some of our European friends are awake. Number five features absolutely no mambo, but the guest artist is Betsy Palmer. I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea who that is. Perhaps Wikipedia can enlighten us. In the meantime, please give a listen to Joy To The World (Army Of Stars, The Salvation Army. Western Territory, Public Relations Department, 40940, Stereo, 1972). The title on this one, while appropriate, is kind of meh, as is the artwork. We're getting into those dull Seventies colors now.

1. Joy Davidson-O Thou That Tellest Great Tidings
2. Robert Hale-The Trumpet Shall Sound
3. Stuart Burrows-O Little Town of Bethlehem
4. Army Of Stars Orchestra-Joy To The World
5. Joy Davidson-Sweet Little Jesus Boy
6. Stuart Burrows-It Must Be Love That Leads Me On
7. Patricia Brooks-Doretta's Aria
8. Betsy Palmer-Narration-The Meaning Of Christmas
9. Azusa Pacific College Choir-Earle Anderson, Director-Westminster Carol

  1. Betsy Palmer was all over the TV when I was a kid, notably as one of the panelists on the game show "I've Got a Secret."

    1. Was her secret that she appeared on this record?

    2. I think it was her career outside of the game show.

    3. She played the mother of one of those mad-slasher-guys-in-a-mask. I don't recall which one.

    4. I'm sure I wouldn't have seen that!

  2. I will always remember Betsy Palmer for playing Willie Aames' grandmother on Charles In Charge, but I'm weird that way.

    I briefly misread Joy Davidson as "Joy Division". Having THEM on a Salvation Army album would have been very strange!

    1. Ha! Charles in Charge!

      And I thought it said John Davidson, which wouldn't have been quite the stretch of Joy Division, but still out there.

  3. Betsy Palmer was also Jason Voorhees' mother in the first Friday the 13th movie! And I actually really enjoy those Seventies colors.

    1. Someone mentioned horror movie somewhere. I'm not much for watching such things, I actually enjoy sleeping at night and don't want to lose that ability.
