Joey's look, her body and her style of dance and the intensity of her execution was really revolutionary and WAY ahead of its time for a female pop star in 1965 . It still looks contemporary today.. She was the template for the dance oriented performers to come like Madonna, Janet Jackson and especially, Britney Spears. With her beauty and dancing and singing talent had Joey come up in a later era she would have been a major superstar. The world simply was not ready.
That's entertainment. The quality of both her dance & singing voice is unparalleled. She eclipses her talented contemporary, Ann-Margaret, in each category. Would have LOVED to see her perform in Vegas. Sorry I never got the chance.
Joey Heatherton was born on September 14, 1944, celebrated her 76th birthday on Monday September 14, 2020. She is an American actress, dancer, and singer. A sex symbol of the 1960s and 1970s, she is best known for her many television appearances during that time, particularly as a frequent variety show performer, although she also appeared in acting roles. She performed for over a decade on USO tours presented by Bob Hope, and starred in several feature films including (1965) and (1977).
Her father was a song and dance man, but I can't recall his first name. I remember seeing him on Joey's short-lived TV show. She learned a lot from him, I'm sure,
Thanks so much for posting this. I only wish Joey would realize how many fans she still has and grace us with just one more song. PLEASE??? Paul O aka Jimmy WIlde
Ahhh ......those glorious mid Sixties !!! We were so playful and sexy , but never trashy. Joey was fantastic !!! ( and her handsome side kicks were no slouch either ! 😉❤️ ).
On this day in 1965 {September 16th} Joey Heatherton performed "I've Got Your Number" on the premier episode of the NBC-TV musical variety program, 'The Dean Martin Show'... The song did not make Billboard's Top 100 chart... She had two Top 100 records, a covered version of Herlin Husky's "Gone" {#24 in 1972} and a covered version of Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" {#87 in 1973}... In 1964 she received a Golden Globe nomination for 'Most Promising Newcomer - Female' for the movie 'Twilight of Honor'... Ms. Heatherton, born Davenie Johanna Heatherton, celebrated her 73rd birthday two days ago on September 14th {2017}...
Such a dazzling talent. Wasted mostly except for her sparkling guest spots on TV shows in the 1960s. In another era, she would have been an instant mega-movie star.
Did a little dectective work. It was five. I looked at some TV Guides on microfilm at the library for confirmation. She was scheduled to appear on the Ed Sullivan show in December of 1970 but pulled out. This was about the time the incident involving Lance Rentzel happened. Disregard the about Joey's six appearances on Dean's show.
@@rca6576 Yes she did. Thanks for supplying that information. She also studied modern jazz, voice, dramatics. She also studied early on with Dixon McAfee School of Dance. I knew someone who lived in Garden City who knew her dad. I also went to the tv show the Merry Mailman as a child after the show and saw her dad.
That's a good question. She appeared at least five times on Dean's show between 1965 and 1968. (Does anyone out there know the exact number of guest appearances?) Joey was also a regular on DEAN MARTIN PRESENTS THE GOLDDIGGERS, a summer replacement series, in 1968.
At 3:58 watch how the dancer on the right smacks into some of the numbers swinging above. Somehow, when they lift Heatherton up near the end, she manages to avoid getting bumped by them!
@TreyMcIntyre LOL I saw that too. After the mishap, he made sure to look up and gauge the space before lifting Heatherton up, so as not to end up smashing her onto a number.
@bobbymoya Re. the social security number--that's just what I was wondering (was that her real number?) and thinking (wow--she'd never do that these days).
@sumyoungay If you read her lips when she's calling out the football play, she's blows one of the numbers -- looks like she's saying "72" while the vocal is "92." But it doesn't detract from her talent at ALL.
If born some 20 years earlier, she'd have co starred with Kelly and Astaire in major musicals. Some top Hollywood dancers were dubbed on songs, not Joey.

Even though I personally don't like her, just a word to the negative commenters here. First, you're probably VERY young, which would explain your cultural ignorance. Second, you can't judge yesterday's pop culture by today's standards. What do you think that Bieber and GaGa will look like to people, 45 years from now (as if they're not ridiculous-looking enough NOW!)?
Late 60s, early 70s, were a weird time. Censorship was loosening up on television. At one point, the networks started showing nudity in prime time. Then Reagan was elected, and all that was locked down by the "moral majority."
@@lilybond6485 Of course not. But If you said ‘every girl alive wanted to look like Lola Falana’ you’d have a great many people thinking or writing that your comment was completely wrong. You’d have to think of the implications of switching it up as I just did. Need I explain more, or do you understand?
Wow. I fell in love with this song when I heard Nancy Wilson sing it. She was phenomenal but Joey is not bad either. Her voice is pretty good. But, she's no Nancy Wilson.
Nancy Wilson has FABULOUS legs and a voice and style to match. Joey's cute and has a sex-kitten but her attribute pale in comparison to the SEXY and musical Ms. Wilson. SHe took American music UP to a new level.
I would like to see singer pink do a remake of this song rock and roll style, dressed imitating this very outfit and same haircut but in pink with a little bit of a 2018 feel to the performance
+sharpasaneraser That's funny. I got on here today to check out Joey Heatherton because I have been watching some great Second City TV DVD's & while I remember Joey, Catherine O'Hara does her as, "Lola Heatherton" and does some strange exotic breathing during the songs that I kind of thought I recalled Joey doing. A sexy, vibrating type breath. Haven't ran across it yet though. I was a young teen but she did it for me back then. U

Loved her style and no one like her to this day. Awesome performer.
Joey could sing, dance AND act...she could do it all. Stunningly beautiful as well
she is dead. gone.

I love Joey Heatherton!
Omg, I love Joey Heather on so much
Ahhh ......those glorious mid Sixties !!! We were so playful and sexy , but never trashy. Joey was fantastic !!! ( and her handsome side kicks were no slouch either ! 😉❤️ ).
What a doll! What talent! I can see why my dad thought she was such a hottie.
My husband too. He had a little fantasy going there I think ❤️
I loved when the dancer looks up to see where number seven is before lifting Joey! Beautiful!
A true exciting talent - one special lady!
Oh my sis & i just loved her...i was so little but seeingnthes videos brings bk memories...!!
I always loved her dancing and singing..so pretty too! Those kicks were amazing!!!
Her high kicks were amazing! The male dancers were great! Either she was very short of they were very tall. She looked so little next to them.
Amazing beautiful gorgeous sunshine! And what a high kick !
Amazing talent.
Thanks for putting in all that time to research this!
Great dancer!
What a frigging body! Hoooooah! It's amazing what God can do when he puts his mind to it.
Love the white go go boots !!
Sing and dance and just beautiful 💚💛
Wow. She was REALLY good.
I love her hair.
Woohoo! Wonderfulness!
Ann Margret and Joey were in a special time
She was gorgeous and cute, just like Ann Margaret.
Well we’d have to hose down my dear departed husband. He was Joeys biggest fan. I’m smiling ❤

She was feisty dancer. Love it. For that time quite good. Nice technique and she improvised quite good.
Such a dazzling talent. Wasted mostly except for her sparkling guest spots on TV shows in the 1960s. In another era, she would have been an instant mega-movie star.
She was in another era. And she ended up getting arrested.
I can't believe how talented she was!!!!, shit where was i???
You weren't here yet. Be grateful.

She was an amazing dancer. I think she took lessons from the one of the same teachers Liza Minelli had in NYC. A real talent.
She studied with Balanchine!
@@rca6576 Yes she did. Thanks for supplying that information. She also studied modern jazz, voice, dramatics. She also studied early on with Dixon McAfee School of Dance. I knew someone who lived in Garden City who knew her dad. I also went to the tv show the Merry Mailman as a child after the show and saw her dad.
You don't see women who look as hot as she does, who can dance as well as she can, anymore.
Amazing talent! Sad these wonderful videos look like they were shot on an Etch-A-Sketch, yet any slob today can shoot 4K on their phone.
What really would've been funny if Joey appeared on SCTV and they would do a duet.
That's a good question. She appeared at least five times on Dean's show between 1965 and 1968. (Does anyone out there know the exact number of guest appearances?) Joey was also a regular on DEAN MARTIN PRESENTS THE GOLDDIGGERS, a summer replacement series, in 1968.
This is from the very first installment of THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW, from the fall of 1965.
Corpsv magnifique quelle. Danseuse bravo
👍👍👍👍👍❤👏👏👏👏👅💖💗💙💚💓

It is enjoyable to watch. I attended a catholic school they had a skit very similar not the one she did but ,similar.
THANKS!!
@TreyMcIntyre LOL I saw that too. After the mishap, he made sure to look up and gauge the space before lifting Heatherton up, so as not to end up smashing her onto a number.
wasn't this before a live audience ?
How I wish this was in high def.
Quelle danseuse corps splendide et elle sait chanter parfaite bravo Joey 😇👏👏👏😁😍💖💖💖💋
Does anyone know who arranged the music to this? It's spectacular.
Mesmerizing...
I think it was six. Her last appearance on Dean's show was in the 1970-71 season.
How many times did Joey appear on Dean's show.
@bobbymoya Re. the social security number--that's just what I was wondering (was that her real number?) and thinking (wow--she'd never do that these days).

I'll take her on my team any day!
Also "The Simpsons" mentioned Joey in a couple of episodes.
If born some 20 years earlier, she'd have co starred with Kelly and Astaire in major musicals.
Some top Hollywood dancers were dubbed on songs, not Joey.
Joey could be considered a live version of Disney's "Tinkerbell."

@@jmason3904 Joey Heatherton is still alive as of March 2021. She is 76 years old.
Did she give away a social security number there at the end? (and it didn't begin with 555?) Would never happen nowadays.
She IS the only women who looks perfectly beautiful with short hair!
deana diedrich : she is stunningly beautiful, but how about Edie Sedgwick with short hair as well?!
Apparently you haven't seen too many women with short hair! Anyway, when you've got legs like Joey, guys don't notice if your bald!! LOL!!
Does anyone know the names of the chorus guys?

That dude killed number 7.
She had the misfortune of marrying Lance Rentzel.DJs had a ball saying things such as " she says she's going to STICK IT OUT with Lance!"
What performance was this from?
was this considered scandalous in any way in 1965? the way she is dressed? just wondering
Late 60s, early 70s, were a weird time. Censorship was loosening up on television. At one point, the networks started showing nudity in prime time. Then Reagan was elected, and all that was locked down by the "moral majority."
Catherine O'Hara sent me here.
Perfect body
I find she an Lila falana quite equal sexy song and dance women. We don't have girls that have both these strengths today.
Joey was a pale Lola. Would have been a tremendous duo.
You're welcome.
Good Lord...
She and Her outfit looks great
I can see (hear) why she was never a superstar-its just not there
I think every girl alive at that time wanted to look like Joey Heatherton. Gorgeous legs. Sex appeal over the top.
Every girl alive…? Hyperbolic in extreme.
Do you take everything literally ?
@@lilybond6485 Of course not. But If you said ‘every girl alive wanted to look like Lola Falana’ you’d have a great many people thinking or writing that your comment was completely wrong.

She is 5" 5 when I was little I thought she was real cute
See how she's depicted on SCTV. Pretty funny.
Lola Heatherton!
Wow. I fell in love with this song when I heard Nancy Wilson sing it. She was phenomenal but Joey is not bad either. Her voice is pretty good. But, she's no Nancy Wilson.
Nancy Wilson has FABULOUS legs and a voice and style to match. Joey's cute and has a sex-kitten but her attribute pale in comparison to the SEXY and musical Ms. Wilson. SHe took American music UP to a new level.
I think the guys were more interested in each other!
racism will not be tolerated on this platform
ttswa
Short hair on a woman makes them look so unfeminine! Joey killed that didn't she? LOL!!!!
Joey sure had it all. Swivel hips, a kick a Rockette would kill for. Dancing, acting, singing and a bit of a flirt. Shame we have to age...
I always hated the sex kitten shtick but the girl could dance!
So?
Is Joey still alive? I miss her.
I would like to see singer pink do a remake of this song rock and roll style, dressed imitating this very outfit and same haircut but in pink with a little bit of a 2018 feel to the performance

Except a better pair of gams! LOL!!
Why is she in a bathing suit? or is it a gymnastic uniform..Can she do the balance beam?
Common dance wear for the time.
She's hot..the numbers's not.
better than Ann M.
The chorus boys look so goofy trotting around with her..
I bet you can park a Suburban....
tHIS IS SO FUNNY. SCTV makes fun of this and their routine, with Catherine O'Hara as Joesy is actually BETTER!!!
So UN talented
When you watch this it becomes glaringly obvious that she had no talent whatsoever. She can't dance or sing to save her life. She was cheap.
