Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, model, and singer. Born on June 1st, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, she quickly rose to fame as one of the biggest sex symbols of the 20th century. Throughout her career, Marilyn starred in numerous movies and recorded a collection of songs primarily for movie soundtracks. She released less than 30 songs in total, with occasional singles. Marilyn was married to Joe DiMaggio from January to November 1954 and Arthur Miller from 1956 to 1961.

Tragically, Marilyn passed away at the age of 36 due to an overdose of sleeping pills. Despite her untimely death, her legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Her registered surname was 'Mortenson', but she was baptized Norma Jeane 'Baker' by her grandmother.

If you enjoy the music of *Judy Garland*, *Eartha Kitt*, *Rita Hayworth*, or other iconic performers from that era, you are sure to appreciate Marilyn Monroe's unique talent and timeless charm.

This compilation traces Marie Knight's musical journey from mainstream 1940s Gospel, through mid-50s R&amp;B, to early 60s embryonic Soul, across ten different record labels. Knight started out as a Gospel singer in the early 1940s, recording with several renowned groups, before teaming up with the mighty Sister Rosetta Tharpe, with whom she worked extensively until the mid-50s. Their body of work together included releases like 'Precious Memories', 'Up Above My Head' and 'My Journey To The Sky', which are among Tharpe's highest acclaimed work.Under her own steam she cut sides like 'I'll Let Nothin' Separate Me From The Lord', 'Gospel Train' (which made the R&amp;B Top 10), 'Satisfied With Jesus' and the bluesy 'I Just Can't Keep From Cryin', before switching to secular music with releases like 'Tell Me Why', 'Grasshopper Baby' and 'Look At Me'.Her outstanding R&amp;B/Soul sides were the wild 'I Thought I Told You Not To Tell Them', 'I Can't Sit Down' (a duet with Rex Garvin), 'Come Tomorrow', which would be successfully revived by Manfred Mann in the mid-60s and 'Come On Baby (Hold My Hand)'.Tracks: I’ll Let Nothin’ Separate Me From The Lord [with The Sunset Four] / Precious Memories [with Sister Rosetta Tharpe &amp; The Sam Price Trio] / Up Above My Head (I Hear Music In The Air) [with Sister Rosetta Tharpe &amp; The Sam Price Trio] / My Journey To The Sky [with Sister Rosetta Tharpe &amp; The Sam Price Trio] / Gospel Train [with The Dependable Boys &amp; The Sam Price Trio] / Satisfied with Jesus [with The Sensational Nightingales] / I Just Can’t Keep From Cryin’ / This Old Soul Of Mine / Sing And Shout [with Sister Rosetta Tharpe] / Trouble In Mind [with The Sam Price Trio] / Stand The Storm [with Sister Rosetta Tharpe] / Who Rolled The Stone Away [with The Sam Price Trio] / Tell Me Why [with The Griffins] / As Long As I Love [with The Griffins] / Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord [with The Millernaires] / Stand By Me [with The Millernaires] / Grasshopper Baby / Look At Me / I’m The Little Fooler [with Howard Biggs &amp; His Orch] / I Thought I Told You Not To Tell Them [with The Teacho Wiltshire Orchestra] / September Song [with The Teacho Wiltshire Orchestra] / I Can’t Sit Down [with Rex Garvin] / Miracles / Hope You Won’t Hold It Against Me / To Be Loved By You / Come Tomorrow / Nothing In The World / Come On Baby (Hold My Hand) / What Kind Of A Fool (Do You Think I Am) / I Was Born Again / I Don’t Wanna Walk Alone
