	Amazon.com: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls [SOUNDTRACK] [IMPORT]: Music
		My favorite Carrie Nation songs are the Beatle-ish/Mamas and Papas flower-power of "Come With The Gentle People" and the mid-paced ballad "In The Long Run." The former exudes an extended hand of welcome and peace.
		Infact it is the original vocalist of the Carrie Nations (Lynn Carrie)who's voice is tame and "cruise ship worthy" compared to the throaty and well rounded vocal(s) in the movie edit.
		One of the things that made Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls a groovy movie was the soundtrack, that 60's psychedelic pop and the songs done by the girl group Kelly Affair/Carrie Nations.
