By 1956, the "Golden Age" of movie musicals was all but over, and Jane Powell's screen career was at a standstill. On her 1956 solo album, CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS?, the bubbly blonde songbird swapped her sunny, operatic repertoire for a more mature nightclub sound; strongly-supported by Buddy Bregman's intimate arrangements. The results were nothing short of magic.
With selections like "Ev'ry Time", "Imagination", "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "Comes Love", we know for certain that the pert ingenue of such beloved movies as A DATE WITH JUDY and ROYAL WEDDING is well and truly all grown up. Powell really warms to the lush yet simple cabaret-style atmosphere of the album. She'd later adapt her incredible talents to the musical theatre stage, in such productions as THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, MY FAIR LADY; and went on to replace her former on-screen "sister" Debbie Reynolds (TWO WEEKS WITH LOVE, ATHENA) in the title role of IRENE on Broadway in 1974.
