Joanie Sommers (born Joan Drost, Buffalo, New York, February 24, 1941) is an American singer and actress with a career concerning jazz, standards and popular material and show-business credits. Once billed as "The Voice of the Sixties", and associated with top-notch arrangers, song-writers and producers, Sommers' popular reputation became closely tied to her biggest, yet most uncharacteristic, hit song "Johnny Get Angry."
Sommers began singing in church choirs as a way to deal with "a difficult childhood", and in 1951 at age 10, appeared on a Buffalo television program singing Hank Williams' Your Cheating Heart, winning the amateur talent contest. In 1955 the family relocated to Venice, California. Sommers went on to win honors to become vocalist with her high school band at Venice High, and did so again at Santa Monica City College. Her break came after a friend took her to the Deauville Country Club (now Braemar Country Club) where she sang with arranger-composer Tommy Oliver whose band was resident at the time. Oliver arranged for a demo record to be cut and presented to Warner Brothers, whereupon Sommers was signed to the label.
Primary is a rock band based in Sydney, Australia from 1995 until the early 2000s. The band's nucleus consisted of Jamie Fonti (keyboards), Sean Fonti (bass guitar) and Connie Mitchell (vocalist). Jamie and Sean were members of Caligula, and met Connie in a recording studio, while they were recording demo tracks.
Their first recording, the EP Vicious Precious produced by Nick Launay in 1998, included drummer Paul Wheeler and guitarist John Bousfield. Bousfield left the band in 1999 to concentrate on an Indian Bon Jovi covers band Pun Jabi which failed miserably. John played the role of Richie Samosa with Jon PunJabi on lead vocals. On the tabla was Tikka Tikka Torres played by Justin Leef. Leef was heavily inspired by Torres' ride and cymbal work especially from the early days. Justin is still pursuing his role as Tikka Tikka Torres and is currently looking for new members of Pun Jabi. Sean and Jamie Fonti also played in My Heart Bleeds For You, a mid 80's Punk Hardcore band. Sean also played in legendary Sydney hardcore outfit Massappeal (1987-1990), Caligula from (1989-1994) and Def FX (1995-1997) and was a highly respected for his professional approach and showmanship. Nick Launay went on to produce more tracks that formed the basis of the band's first full-length album, This Is The Sound. Primary became known for their energetic live shows, with Connie's on-stage presence and costumes a talking point. Their second album, Watching The World was recorded in 2001. The band announced on their website on 24 April 2002 that they were recording demos for their third album, but no release has been forthcoming. Connie has since collaborated with fellow Sydneysiders Sneaky Sound System on several songs for their self-titled album.
Watching the World may refer to:
Sommers (Russian: Соммерс, Finnish: Someri, Swedish: Sommarö) is an islet and a lighthouse in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, and arm of the Baltic Sea, just outside the Gulf of Vyborg, about 19 kilometres south of Virolahti, Finland, but it is now possessed by Russia.
The lighthouse is situated on a rocky skerry, which is elevated a maximum of 16 metres above the Baltic Sea. The first lighthouse on this islet was built in 1808. That construction was a brick building, chalked in white, about five metres high, with a lanternine on its top. The light source was modernized in 1866, and it was also raised to an elevation of eight metres. The lighthouse was given a third class lens system and a clockwork which rotated an oil lamp with a double wick. This gave the lighthouse beacon a reddish gloom.
The lighthouse men lived along with their families in a wooden house next to the lighthouse. A fog horn was constructed at the other end of the island by the beginning of the 20th century. The Imperial Russian Army began constructing defense works on this island when World War I erupted, but these were never completed. In 1918, Finnish maritime authorities manned the lighthouse.
Sommers is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Fictional characters:
Sommers is an Australian sports equipment company, specialising in cricket equipment. Sommers is a family business which started in 1999.
The company was established in 1999 when Sommers director John Rennie approached a well-known bat maker with a request to make twenty cricket bats. The bats were labelled with Sommers decals and sold to friends at cost price. From that stage the company has grown from producing cricket bats only for local cricketers to producing a whole range of cricket equipment for some of the worlds best cricketers; including Michael Bevan and Glenn McGrath.
Sommers sponsors several international cricketers, they include;

What a delight to have Joanie Sommers visit our Facebook page and comment on her Pepsi "think young" radio jingle! Joanie ultimately earned the title "Voice of the Sixties" not only for her role in several fabulously successful Pepsi campaigns but also for her television and film appearances. Joanie kicked off a brand new campaign in the summer of 1964 as baby boomers got a new name - the Pepsi Generation! As heard for the first time in July, 1964, here's the full-length Joanie Sommers Pepsi Generation commercial jingle. It has been transferred and restored from an original broadcast transcription by Joe Evelius at Audio Solutions: https://www.facebook.com/Audio-Solutions-audio-transfer-restoration-and-custom-recording-303055483093128/.

Joanie Sommers scored her biggest chart success with "Johnny Get Angry" in 1962. The single, her second solo release, peaked at the number seven spot and charted for more than two months. Her first solo record, "One Boy," was a number from the musical Bye Bye Birdie and only hit number 54 in 1960. She continued to record through the decade, but never had another winner that rose as high on the charts as "Johnny Get Angry." She later achieved a different kind of success in commercials with several different jingles that she sang for Pepsi during the '60s and again two decades later. (The title of one of her later albums, Come Alive, was even derived from one of the Pepsi ad campaigns.) Sommers, whose real name is Joan Drost, was born in New York but grew up in California. During her high s...

Heaven sends
A song through its doors
Just as if it seems to know
I'm exclusively yours
Knowing this
I feel but one way
You will understand too
In these words that I say
I'll close my eyes
To everyone but you
And when I do
I'll see you standing there
I'll lock my heart
To any other caress
I'll never say yes
To a new love affair
Then I'll close my eyes
To everything that's gay
If you are not there
Oh, to share each lovely day
And through the years
In those moments
When we're far apart
Don't you know I'll close my eyes
And I'll see you with my heart
