Mrs. Miller is a longtime favorite of the fringe-pop folks: her shtick was
that she was an average housewife recording pop songs just for the hell of
it. The idea at the time was that she supposedly "didn't know" what a

There was a fairly comprehensive CD released a few years ago as part of
Capitol's WILD COOL AND SWINGIN' series.
