I think ORANGE PARADE by Melba Hamblen was the first 'true'
orange. It was quite a sensation in its day when it was introduced
back in 1961. It looked old-fashioned then and now, but it was such
an attention-getter because of the color. Some others that pre-
date it are not very orange even though the word *orange* is in the
name.
