CANDY TO GO-GO

This post is courtesy of my friend Shaun who graduated from San Gabriel High School in California years after perennial go-go girl Candy Johnson. Though Lada Edmund, Jr. was the go-go girl of the small screen, Drive-in Dream Girl Candy Johnson owned the silver screen as she wiggled, shimmied, and gyrated on the sands of Malibu in Beach Party (1963), Muscle Beach Party (1964), Bikini Beach (1964)and Pajama Party (1964). She was such a teenage favorite that she even branched out into the music business starting her own record label Canjo where she recorded two albums with her back up band The Exciters.
