Jenny Rock (aka Jeannine de Bellefeuille) gained a fair amount of success in the mid-60's in Quebec. She even opened for the Rolling Stones in 1965. She released a string of singles/ albums throughout the 1960's but then faded into Quebecois garage rock obscurity. But it seems Jenny Rock is back! She has a new website up and performs from time to time. www.jennyrock.ca
I grabbed this 45 at a garage sale for 10 cents. Side A has a french cover of "Everybody Do The Sloopy" Jenny's voice is sweet and child-like but also has a little bit of a growl to it. Very rock n roll. Side B is a pop rock killer. Catchier than strep throat. A solid 10 cents spent. I am definitely on the hunt for more Jenny Rock wax.
