She has a great voice.... Believe me, I have spent my life absorbing everything pop music... I have heard even the most obscure songs and she really had a great voice.
Her manager Jana and Jose Feliciano were in the next studio at Wally Heiders Hollywood when I was there doing a session about 5 years after this. They were holed up in there doing coke and ordering pizza for 3-4 days.
After all these years, I had no idea that the Laverne & Shirley theme song was an actual hit single. She might not have any other hits but that is one classic tv theme song.

Cindy Williams (Shirley Feeney...) died on Wednesday 26 January 23... it was just announced today, Tuesday 31 January 23... wondering whatever became of Cyndi Grecco, she seems to have fallen off the map by the mid 1980's... guess she decided on a private life... good for her! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laverne_%26_Shirley
