The Essential Recordings - Marilyn Monroe

"The Essential Recordings" CD is fantastic! I really enjoy listening to classic songs like"Do-It-Again", "Diamonds", "River of No Return","I Wanna be Loved by You", and my very favorite "I'm Through with Love". This girl could really put feeling in her singing. This is one of the best CD's as far as sound quality and performance that I have in my Monroe collection to date. I would highly recommend this CD for anyone who enjoys listening to Marilyn, and for their own personal collection.

The Multitalented Marilyn

For all the hoopla and attention surrounding Marilyn in her life and especially since her untimely death, not much has been said about her abilities as a vocalist. All of the qualities fans adore in her acting-her sensuality, innocence, vulnerability, and humor-come through in her singing as well. This compilation from her many musicals (as well as rare non-movie related rcordings) showcases her expressive delivery and phrasing. A real treat for Marilyn lovers and music lovers as well!
