I never understood the constant references to Cass's post "Dream a Little Dream" LP Dunhill music as 'bubblegum'. What was so bubblegum abt it? When I hear the word I think of "The 1910 Fruitgum Compny' and "The Archies" but certainly not Cass. Aside from "It's Getting Better", "Move In a Little Closer Baby" etc., which I guess were kind of novelty tracks and I loved them both, songs like "Lady Love", "He's a Runner", When I Just Wear My Smile", "There's a New World Coming", "The Good Times Are Coming" and "I Can Dream Can't I" are to me the kind of excellent stuff she was doing on her first RCA LP.
I wonder if Cass designed the "Bubble Gum Lemonade and Something For Mama" lp cover because she really thought that her music was bubblegum or others were saying it?
It was something how ABC Dunhill scrapped that wonderfull cover when they added "Make Your Own Kind of Music" to the track listing.
