Just an Old Fashioned Girl
"Just An Old Fashioned Girl" is a popular song written by Marve A. Fisher and best known in its 1956 recording by Eartha Kitt.
The song was recorded with Henri René and his orchestra, and was included on Kitt's RCA album ''Thursday's Child'' which she recorded between December 1955 and April 1956. Reviewer William Ruhlmann refers to the song as a "novelty... to exploit Kitt's promiscuous gold-digger image, as she wooed millionaires and their money."〔( William Ruhlmann, Review of ''Thursday's Child'', ''Allmusic.com'' )〕〔( Track listing. ''Thursday's Child'' )〕 In 1958 the song was issued as a single in the UK, but failed to chart.〔( "Just An Old Fashioned Girl", ''45cat.com'' ). Retrieved 23 February 2015〕 It became a minor chart hit in Australia in 1963.
"Just An Old Fashioned Girl" became a cornerstone of Eartha Kitt's stage act, as her popularity developed around the world at the same time as her novel and provocative image became less of an attraction to US audiences.〔 It became her signature tune in Britain.〔( Adrian Jack, "Obituary: Eartha Kitt," ''The Guardian'', 29 December 2008 ). Retrieved 23 February 2015〕〔( Phil Hardy, ''The Da Capo Companion to 20th-century Popular Music'', 1995, p.526 )〕 Some of the song's lyrics have been included in directories of quotations:〔( Elizabeth M. Knowles (ed.), ''The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations'', Oxford University Press, 1999, p.313 )〕
I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.〔( Lyrics, "Just an Old Fashioned Girl" )〕
The song's lyricist and composer, Marvin A. "Marve" Fisher (June 21, 1907 – September 1, 1957),〔( California Death Index, 1940 - 1997. Record count: 9,366,052. State of California )〕〔( Marvin A. Fisher, ''FindaGrave.com'' ). Retrieved 23 February 2015〕 was an Illinois-born and Los Angeles-based writer of comic and novelty songs, including "Ring Those Christmas Bells", recorded by Peggy Lee and others, which Fisher co-wrote with Gus Levene.〔( ASCAP, Fisher, Marve A, ). Accessed 23 February 2015〕 He is sometimes confused with another songwriter, Marvin Fisher (1916-1993), who wrote "When Sunny Gets Blue" and "Destination Moon", and was the son of Fred Fisher.〔( "Marvin Fisher Is Dead", ''NY Times'', August 24, 1993 )〕
