      She was quite mature for her age, especially back then. Extremely talented professional by thirteen years old. Should have had much bigger career on TV, film and particularly should have been a huge Broadway musical star. What little I've been able to read about her doesn't seem to get into much detail on her life except in a very general way. Even in the rare interviews she doesn't really get into much. Largely, I think, because most interviewers concentrate on this one song and period of her life relative to it.
      I read, though, she didn't like Pink Shoelaces, preferring to perform the more adult standards of the time. And was, and apparently still is to some degree, irritated that that's pretty much the only thing she's remembered for. I can understand, given her well rounded singing and acting chops.
      Unfortunate for her and the general public that she never really got to use all that talent at the level I think she warranted and deserved. I get the impression she saw herself as more suited talent-wise to '40 and early to mid '50s musical films where she could've really stretched her skills. Well. Is what it is.

    In 1959 I was in the 2nd grade. There was a talent contest at our school. The prize was a set of classroom books. My teacher got together with my mother and entered me and fellow classmate, Ida Mae Melton in the contest. Mother made the complete outfit from the hat, vest, to the pink shoe laces. Ida sang the song as I danced across the stage behind her. We won the contest.

    Because of this song, in 1959 at High School, a couple of the boys wore pink shoelaces in their sandshoes for our annual cross country run. Having to run through water over the track, the pink dye bled and they ended up with the white shoes mostly pink. What a laugh.

      It never ceases to amaze me how nostalgic people get for this post War America era.
      A time when people were still being persecuted for their politics, forcibly had their sexuality oppressed, and criminalized, where an entire race was reduced to second class citizens, oh yes, times were so good.
      It was a terrible time for anyone not a politically conservative, middle class, hetero, WASP, but hey, you had this song so all was right in the world right?

      In answer to Apis4....In comparison to what we have today, those days WERE golden. So, you must love the crap that we have today. Yes, the world is SO MUCH nicer these days. We just had another mass shooting. If these shootings become any more frequent we'll all soon be able to set our clocks to them. And the drug problem in this country is beyond out of control. And if people are so damn confused as to what gender they are, God gave everyone a big clue. All you gotta do is look between your legs. I'll take the past anytime over the way things are now. The way I see it, the past is all we got, 'cause I sure don't see a future for this country or this world. Somethin' got to give, and soon!

      I'm in. I was decades away from even being conceived but I have always felt out of place in this time. A woman (crazy transient or wandering prophet) once said that I could actually maybe have Alien or even Demigod ancestry. Which would help explain my strong attachment to music and film and fashion and technology from times I was not yet alive in. I have met a girl who I just cannot shake my love for, she is a friend but I am just so attached to her for some reason. I was likely a relative or even spouse of her's in a past life and only I recognize it readily. Since 2009 she has been a significant driving force in who I am and who I aspire to be. All that aside, bring back everything from 1930 to 1969. Just make sure all genders, religions, races etc have the level of equality they currently possess.

    Thanks for the interesting historical info about Dodie Stevens. I should mention, though, that this performance isn't from the Dick Clark program you've alluded to. It's from the December 31, 1959 episode of the Pat Boone Chevy Showroom.

    She did such a cute rendition of this funny song. Very mature and professional for one so young.

    I can't believe something can come back to life after such a big gap.
