Description
The 1952 film of The Jazz Singer was a remake of the classic Al Jolson movie. Playing the lead was popular entertainer Danny Thomas and making her screen debut as his girlfriend was Peggy Lee. Peggy Lee played a Broadway star, a role that guaranteed her the chance to sing on screen. She had just charted with her version of 'Lover' and the song's popularity ensured its inclusion in the film. Due to both artists being contracted to rival record labels the duets performed on screen by the lovers were never recorded for commercial release. Instead, the songs were recorded individually for each respective record company. All the versions are included here.
The ten Peggy Lee bonus tracks will be welcomed by her fans, for, as far as we know, every one of these tracks is appearing on CD for the very first time. We finish the collection with six Danny Thomas bonus tracks of which two are from The Unfinished Dance, a film he starred with Cyd Charisse.
