Janie Marden - You Are My Love / A Teenage Prayer
Review
The " A " side of this single is English singer Janie Marden's cover version of Jonie James' 1955 U.S. no. 6 hit " You Are My Love ". It is a charming romantic ballad with a lilting melody , set to an appropriately restrained arrangement , but unfortunately Janie Marden failed to chart with it.

The flip side is another cover , a song quite similar in style to " You Are My Love " but more intense - " A Teenage Prayer " is enhanced by Janie Marden's heartfelt vocal. In America , three versions of this winsome song entered the Hot 100. Gale Storm did best at no.6 , while Gloria Mann ( whose version is my favorite ) trailed behind at no. 19 and , much lower down the chart , Kitty White stalled at no. 68. There is really little to choose among the four versions. While my favorite is Gloria Mann's , in my opinion Janie Marden's is as good as any of the others even 'though it flopped in the U.K.
