How will it be?

This is the easily most depressing song I’ll ever post. It’s even worse than “Honey”.

Yes, that is Jan Brady singing this bummer. Her dad was Neely Plumb, a well-known arranger & producer, working with Ennio Morricone, Frank Sinatra and Esquivel among many others. Dad co-wrote this song and got Eve to record it in 1970 when she was twelve years old. Is that a Kent State reference in there?

The record was released twice, once on Paramount and again on RCA. I don’t know which one was first. I find it hard to believe that any record company thought this had any potential. Neely must’ve had plenty of pull from his string of successful soundtrack albums.

The flipside to this downer is just that – a too cheerful song about how too avoid being sad. I recommend not letting your dad make you record songs like “How Will It Be?” as the best way to avoid depression.
