Beautiful People - Kenny O'Dell (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Beautiful People (Kenny O'Dell, 1967; Bobby Lee, 1967). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2024-03-03. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Beautiful People," written by Kenny O'Dell, was O'Dell's first entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart landing at the no. 38 position in 1967; at the same time, Bobby Vee's version of the song rose to the no. 37 position on the chart the same year (Whitburn, 2013). Although "Beautiful People" was not a huge pop hit for O'Dell nor Vee, still both broke the top 40, it was a springboard for his future writings. O'Dell wrote or cowrote a number of country hits/top 40 hits, for example: "Behind Closed Doors" for Charlie Rich, which earned O'Dell a Grammy for Best Country Song and a CMA for Song of the Year (wideopencountry, 2018); "Next Plane to London" for The Rose Garden; and "Mama He's Crazy" for the Judds (secondhandsongs, 2024). O'Dell's given name was Kenneth Gist (rateyourmusic, 2024); he passed away of natural causes on March 27, 2018 (W. Hermanson, tasteofcountry, Mar 29, 2018).

Lyrics:
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
You're so easy to make conversation with
And nobody else can please me that way
No one can say that you're a wallflower
Cause you've always got something groovy to say
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
Talk about a girl with a sweet disposition
You oughta have a room full of ribbons
And wear 'em in your hair
Every day of the week for me
People turn around they know we're the happiest
People today in this whole town
And it's no wonder that they kinda wonder
If we're not the grooviest couple around
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
La la la la la . . .
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
I love you
I do - I do - I do
Mmmm - I love ya
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
La la la la la . . .
