Description
A fascinating and often surprising CD that gathers Hollywood actresses, models, and entertainers who possessed genuine vocal talent — and the recordings to prove it. The selections range from Jane Russell’s swinging ‘Do It Again’ and Anita Ellis’s beautifully phrased ‘Forbidden Fruit’ to the remarkable Nichelle Nichols delivering a commanding ‘Why Don’t You Do Right,’ long before her fame as Lieutenant Uhura. Sophia Loren lends unmistakable warmth to ‘Almost In Your Arms,’ the love theme from Houseboat, while Lola Albright and Julie Wilson remind listeners they were formidable nightclub performers in their own right. This CD is an essential document of an era when screen glamour and musical sophistication went hand in hand…
