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 (Shirley MacLaine) and a young Italian named Stefano (Alain Delon).

The song with English lyrics, "She's Just a Quiet Girl", was recorded and released as a single by Ella Fitzgerald.[1][2] Julie London included the song on her album Feeling Good (1965).

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.
