One of the sexiest sets of vocal jazz to ever come from the British scene – a classic 1960 album by the lovely
Diana Dors – easily one of England's best answers to American cheesecake singers of the 50s! As you'll notice by the cover,
Diana's got a look that's right up there with Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield – but as a singer, she's far better – with a full range, and good sense of expression – often delivered in the manner of some of the best vocalists wor
king in the US for RCA in the late 50s. The bac
kings are great too – handled by the Wally Stott orchestra with a nice sense of jazz throughout – some really swinging horns that are quite unusual for a UK session like this at the time – and which really further the American feel of the set. Titles include "That's How It Is", "Namely You", "The Point Of No Return", "Roller Coaster Blues", "The Gentleman Is A Dope", "April Heart", "I'm In Love For The Very First Time", and "Tired Of Love".
