Shelley’s first husband was record producer Lou Adler. They separated in 1966 after only 2 years of marriage, but didnt get divorced until 1980.
Just before the divorce, Lou got engaged to his girlfriend when it suddenly dawned on him, “Holy cow! I’m still married to Shelley!”
How does anyone forget theyre married to Shelley Fabares?
Lou Adler produced many top artists including The Mamas/Papas.
After hearing them audition with just 1 acoustic guitar, he signed them and 2 days later they were in the recording studio.
Lou Adler suggested the title of their first album - "If You Can believe Your Eyes & Ears" from his first impression of seeing & hearing them.
