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.

Although better known as an actor and a sex symbol, the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe was also a highly personal vocalist. Even though she occasionally took lessons in the intervals while filming her movies, her singing remained mostly intuitive, and her voice evoked sensuality and glamour. This 19-track collection compiles her most memorable recordings, including hits such as 'I Wanna Be Loved by You', 'My Heart Belongs to Daddy', 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend', and the perennial 'Happy Birthday', which she sang for President John F. Kennedy shortly before her premature death. 

Tracks: Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend / The River Of No Return / A Fine Romance [1954] / One Silver Dollar / Specialization / Incurably Romantic / Kiss / I'm Gonna File My Claim / Every Baby Needs A Da Da Daddy / Happy Birthday Mr. President/ Thanks For The Memory / My Heart Belongs To Daddy / Let's Make Love / After You Get What You Want You Won't Want It / Running Wild / Some Like It Hot / Do It Again / I'm Through With Love / You'd Be Surprised / Wanna Be Loved By You
