4.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack songs minus adequate liner notes, May 29, 2007

By	D. Bakish "ProfDave" (New York City and Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Some Like It Hot (Audio CD)

This 2-CD set from the obscure label Rajon, first published in 2005, contains what I think are 31 soundtrack songs by Marilyn Monroe, plus the famous "Happy Birthday, Mr. President," sung to President John F. Kennedy, with his brief, amused thank you. The collection kicks off with "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," from GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953), written by Leo Robin and Jule Styne. Not in chronological order the songs covered come from the early LADIES OF THE CHORUS (1949), RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954), THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS (1954), SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959), LET'S MAKE LOVE (1960), among others. The last mentioned, LET'S MAKE LOVE, has a few interesting songs with the film's co-star Yves Montand and Frankie Vaughan: the title song as well as "Incurably Romantic" and "Specialization." The sound quality is acceptable but the lack of adequate liner notes is not. Aside from the song titles and composer credits, the liner notes give no information except a short, superficial biography. The running times of each disc: 55:57 and 39:46. The cover has a luscious black and white photograph of Marilyn.
