Gentlemen Prefer Blondes


This one is a request from Mindy over at Sallie and Mel's Golden Age of Hollywood, a Franklynot production (to adopt the west coast parlance).

Jane and Marilyn were both excellent singers, so there is no vocal dubbing here, as least as far as I know. There are classic songs from Jule Styne and Leo Robin (Bye Bye Baby, Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend) and two good ones from Hoagy Carmichael and Harold Adamson.

This is quite the short LP, but is nonetheless a wonderful reminder of an amusing movie and two great stars at their best.
