Limited Edition Transparent Blue Vinyl. Marilyn Monroe (born June 1, 1926, Los Angeles, California, U.S.-died August 5, 1962, Los Angeles). Known for playing comic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s, as well as an emblem of the era's sexual revolution. She had a good voice that matched her seductive visual appeal, and her limited catalog includes effective interpretations of the work of such songwriters as Harold Adamson and Hoagy Carmichael, Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer; Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn and Cole Porter. Marilyn Monroe's singing constitutes a significant part of her overall appeal as a performer. On this album "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", " I Wanna Be Loved By You", "Happy Birthday (For President Kennedy) ", "The River of No Return ", "Two Little Girls From Little Rock (ft. Jane Russell)".
