In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Lipstick on Your Collar

From the musical

The Marvelous Wonderettes

Music by George Goehring, Lyrics by Edna Lewis

Originally Performed by Connie Francis

"Lipstick on Your Collar" is a song written by Brill Building staff writers Edna Lewis (lyrics) and George Goehring (music) which was a 1959 hit single for Connie Francis. Songwriter George Goehring would in 1982 recall that he'd personally pitched "Lipstick on Your Collar" to Connie Francis, making an unannounced visit to the singer's New Jersey home and playing her the song on her piano. Francis would record the song April 15 1959 in a session at Metropolitan Studio (NYC) produced and conducted by Ray Ellis,[3] with veteran guitarist George Barnes contributing a solo to the track. The same session produced the romantic ballad "Frankie", a Howard Greenfield/ Neil Sedaka composition meant to appeal to Frankie Avalon fans.

Jay Althouse : Lipstick on Your Collar

What a tale Connie Francis sang back in 1959! But what a fun, sassy song for girl groups to sing today! "Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! Boy!" Also featured in the current off-Broadway musical The Marvelous Wonderettes.
