Mae (Riz Ortolani song)
"Mae" is a 1965 song written by Riz Ortolani for the MGM motion picture The Yellow Rolls-Royce; the song is the theme for the section of the film in which ownership of the titular Rolls-Royce passes to a gangster and becomes the backdrop to a dangerous romance between the gangster's girlfriend Mae Jenkins and a young Italian named Stefano.
The song with English lyrics, "She's Just a Quiet Girl", was recorded and released as a single by Ella Fitzgerald. Julie London included the song on her album Feeling Good.
The tune was covered as an instrumental by Herb Alpert on Going Places, and released as a single both by Alpert and by Pete Fountain, also in 1965.
