Jane Horrocks is an unbelievable acting and vocal talent. If you've seen Little Voice, you know that she is also an exceptional mimick. This C.D. furthur exhibits her mimicking talents. She sings Carol Channing, Ethel Merman, and even Frank Sinatra (his classic It Was a Very Good Year), and every song leaves you astonished and leaning over to press the play button again on your C.D. player.

I recently acquired this CD through amazon.co.uk after catching Ms. Horrocks on Michael Parkinson's BBC talk show. To hear her sing as Garland, Holiday, Dietrich, Bassey and Monroe was simply fantastic. What knocked me out was her choice of songs, and the contributions of Robbie Williams and Ewan McGregor (let us not forget Dino, through the magic of modern technology).

I have become a fan of this gifted performer through her work on "Absolutely Fabulous," and of course, the film that inspired this CD, "Little Voice." More please!!!

I saw Little Voice but never bought the CD. Last Sunday Jane Horrocks was on the Parkinson talk show on BBC America and sang "Too Close for Comfort" as Shirley Bassey. That convinced me that I need to buy this CD. What a talent!

Jane pulls out all the stops and gives us a stellar recording connecting us to the women who pioneered jazz and standards. Ms. Horrocks' impressions of these amazing women is mind boggling. She has thier voices perfected right down to phrasing and calls there personalities from the great beyond. Thank you Jane for a phenominal recording.

Great listening. What fun to find another cd as good as the first. I would highly recommend this cd to all who enjoyed the first. Good music.
Great song selection.

Bubble from Ab Fab sounds exactly like Marilyn Monroe, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland and others. What a talent. She needs her own Las Vegas Show. She would be beyond great!
