Synopsis

Album Details
It Will Surprise Many People to Learn that Jane Russell, the Glamorous Hollywood Sex Symbol Could Sing, and this CD is Proof of her Versatility! Although She Recorded Quite Regularly Throughout the Late 1940s and the 1950s her Singing Ability was Always Overshadowed by her Sultry Sexy Film Star Image. However the Singing Heard in Films Like "gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "gentlemen Marry Brunettes", "montana Belle" and "the French Line" was hers and Not Dubbed. Like her Cinema Fun Image, the 21 Songs Featured Here Are Naughty and Slightly Suggestive but Tame in Today?s Climate.
 

CD Reviews

Jane under wraps
Thomas Bumbera | Maplewood, NJ USA | 08/28/2003
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Half of this disc consists of Columbia 78 RPM tracks from 1947-1951. Unfortunately, the audio reprocessing is so poor that Jane sounds as if she is singing with a towel wrapped around her head! This greatly detracts from listening enjoyment. Subsequent tracks from early '50's vinyl sources are not as bad, but I'd label this "for completists only." Look for the current legit reissue of Jane's "Let's Put Out The Lights" album from which eight of the tracks on this semi-bootleg were taken."

"Jane Russell is one of the most amazing singers I've heard. We know her from "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" and "The Paleface," "The Outlaw"...someone should have made a movie called "The Singer," the life story of Miss Russell. What a great talent, and lovely friend. It doesn't get any better than this. It's a shame that she doesn't benefit from this recording. I believe it is from another country and they are not compensating her for the use and sale of her songs. Is that fair? ; )"
