Lena Zavaroni - Ma! He’s Making Eyes At Me (1974) (vinyl Lp) - €5,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Lena Hilda Zavaroni (4 November 1963 – 1 October 1999) was a Scottish singer. 

Ma! (He's Making Eyes at Me) is the debut album by Scottish singer Lena Zavaroni, released in 1974 on Philips Records. The record was a hit and made Zavaroni the youngest artist to have a record in the Top 10 UK albums chart, a distinction she still holds.

Later, she starred in her own television series, made numerous TV guest-star appearances, and appeared on stage.

From age 13 Zavaroni suffered anorexia nervosa, and she developed clinical depression when she was 15. Following an operation to cure her depression, Zavaroni died at the age of 35 from pneumonia on 1 October 1999. 

In 1974, Zavaroni appeared on Opportunity Knocks (hosted by Hughie Green) and won the show for a record-breaking five weeks running. 

She followed this with the album Ma! (He's Making Eyes at Me), a collection of classic and then-recent pop standards which reached number 8 in the UK Albums Chart. 

She remains the youngest person to have an album in the top 10, having reached the position at 10 years, 146 days old.

Zavaroni sang at a Hollywood charity show with Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball in 1974, at which Ball said: "You're special. Very special and very, very good", although some sources^[who?] attribute the words to Sinatra. 

Following this, Zavaroni guest-starred on The Carol Burnett Show, and on 4 June 1974, The Tonight Show. 

She also appeared on The Morecambe and Wise Show, the 29 May 1975 episode of The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, in the 1976 Royal Variety Show and performed at the White House for U.S. President Gerald Ford. 

Signed to the soul-oriented Stax Records label in the United States, Zavaroni was not especially successful in America despite the praise and television appearances; her Ma album did not enter the charts, and its title single only reached number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 during a four-week chart run in the summer of 1974.
