In the late 60's, it seemed as though if you had a hit show, chances were you'd also entertain the idea of cutting an album.
Flying Nun star Sally Field was one of the ones who did just that.
While Field has later admitted not being proud of her work on Flying Nun, she did take the time to record the show's theme song, "Who Needs Wings to Fly?", in reference to her character, Sister Bertrille. Apparently, the sting of Gidget having been cancelled still bothered the actress, since she considered it to be some of her best work.
While no actual video exists of Field performing the song, a wise YouTuber found the track.....!
Hard to believe, but Sally is the last surviving cast member from the show, after Marge Redmond's passing earlier this year.
