"Navy Blue" is the debut studio album by American performer Diane Renay,[1] released in 1964.[2] It included two Top 40 hits, "Navy Blue" and "Kiss Me Sailor."[2][3]

Release

The album was released in 1964 following the worldwide success of "Navy Blue."[4] It reached number 54 on the Billboard Top LPs chart (now called The Billboard Hot 200), spending 11 weeks on the chart.[3]

All four of the album's singles were featured on the girl-group anthology "Growin' Up Too Fast."[5]

Critical reception

The album is retrospectively regarded as a girl-pop classic. An Allmusic review by Richie Untenburger called the album "passable" and praised "Watch Out, Sally!" as being "one of the bitchiest girl-group revenge tales ever cut," awarding the album 4.5 out of 5 stars.[2]
