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 1940's and the 1950's 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.
