The song "Gloria" was recorded by several performers, including Van Morrison, but was written and performed locally in Mt. Prospect, Illinois by a group called the "Shadows of Night". I grew up in Mt. Prospect and lived near Gloria. I was about 12 and she was in high school. I wouln't say she was my first love since I don't think she even knew I existed. But, anyone who ever saw her would definitely agree, she was worthy of having a song written about her. I still can picture her tanned in her short cut-off jeans whenever I hear that song. Wow! GLORIAAAA
Bifwynne,
Gloria did look kind of like Linda Ronstadt facially but not otherwise. And she was always wearing cut off jeans with bare feet not roller skates.
I recall her looking more like a young and tanned Raquel Welch. Gloria's gotta be about 60 years old now. Good thing I've had her young image permanently imprinted in my mind since I was a horny teenager.
