I have always liked Twiggy's voice,and the years have shown that she just gets better and better. She was not born a singer,she has worked at it, and it shows.Her renditions of "Dancing On the Ceiling","If Love Were All",and "Once You Lose Your Heart"are sheer magic.Twiggy has done country,rock,and other styles of music.This is but one fine example of a lovely lilting voice that will charm you with a wide range of songs that come from a wide range of London musicals. "On My Own" is superb.Twiggy has proven herself to be far more than a 60s icon. She is a fine actress and this album is proof that she is a very fine singer. Like show tunes? Then buy this CD, you will enjoy the wide array of fine songs by a very fine artist.She sings from her heart and that makes this album such a gem.

Of course you knew about Twiggy and her world-famous stint as a fashion model... but did you know she is a legitimate stage star, seasoned in such musicals as "Me & my Girl" and "The Boyfriend"? Yes... Lesley Hornby, a/k/a Twiggy [Lawson] is a major icon with a talent of her own that is tangible in this CD.

Including music from all sort of revues from the West End, including a marvelous rendering of a little-known Porter song "The Physician" --which, if you listen closely to the words is... hilarious!- this record is the showcase of a great talent, and if you love musicals, this is definitely for you.

This is very good. Most broadway CDs are not as good as this one and not as intreging. I'm new to the music world but this is one piece I love and think everybody who is interested in broadway music should own. It was a plesure to listen to this CD. Others I have listened to have not had good selections or a bigger variety. I am very proud to give this magnificent Cd 5 stars.

I'm sure that many others, besides me, think of Twiggy in her days as a model, but this CD will surprise you in how well she sings -- it is a very enjoyable collection of music from the days of the Blitz to later days of Broadway and the music halls of England. It surprised me and I'm very glad I bought it!
