Aileen Quinn's Debut Album

Okay, I know that Aileen Quinn (known as the star of the 1982 film, “Annie”) isn’t considered a rare and obscure musician, but her first album is considered “rare and obscure” because this album is really hard to find nowadays.

In November of 1982, Aileen released an album called “Bobby’s Girl” on Columbia Records after she finished filming “Annie.”

The album mostly consisted of cover songs such as Leo Sayer’s “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” Crystal Gayle’s “Songs” (from the “Sesame Street Country” album), “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday”(from “The Muppet Movie”) and of course, the title song, “Bobby’s Girl” (which was originally sung by Marcie Blaine in 1962).

Due to lack of promotion (which Aileen should’ve gotten), the album isn’t recognized at record stores and today, it’s a rarity. If you’re trying to look for this album, you can try your luck on Ebay.com or Discogs.com, but like I’ve said, it’s really hard to find.

Once again, I know that Aileen Quinn isn’t considered an “rare and obscure” artist; however, her debut album is a rarity, so I figured I might as well post this to see if any other music lovers know about this album.
