Trivia / Shelby Flint

Go To

  • Corpsing: In her cover of "Winter Wonderland" she flubs a line of the second bridge (perhaps due to some over-exuberant scatting) and begins to laugh, forcing her to skip several syllables to catch up.
  • Cut Song: She recorded a song, "I Remember Me", for classic 1976 psychological drama Film/Sybil, which was not only cut from the film, but remained unavailable to the general public until the 2012 release of a compilation of composer Leonard Rosenman's previously unreleased scores.
  • Doing It for the Art:
    • What she was doing all along; she never expected to achieve any kind of fame, and was, by all accounts, okay with that.
    • Shelby Flint Sings Folk, a collection of classic folk songs specifically adapted by Shelby herself, was what she had wanted to record all along, having reached a kind of pop/folk compromise on her first album.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: She's done a bunch of songs for TV series and films (such as I Spy, Battle for Mount Olympus, and a 1973 adaptation of The Borrowers) that haven't seen official release and/or are out of print.
  • Missing Episode: A couple of her Valiant singles had their masters wiped or otherwise misplaced, making remastering nigh-impossible. Thusly, on her singles compilation album, needledrops had to suffice.
  • Playing Against Type:
    • Don't Stop the Music, full stop.
    • "Wonderland" is a brassy number with an atypical vocal delivery; certainly the odd man out in her sixties singles line-up.
