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 working in the US for RCA in the late 50s. The backings 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.
