5 out of 5 stars A beautiful songbird sings.......2006-08-26

I was really surprised to find out Marilyn Monroe had a cd. Marilyn does have a very pleasant voice and she definitely has her own style. I like listening to these songs because it takes you back in time to Hollywood's golden era days. I could definitely imagine riding down the road back in the 1950's in a old Cadillac cruising to these songs. Marilyn has a pretty voice and this is a enjoyable cd, especially if you are a fan of her movies.

3 out of 5 stars The Very Best of Marilyn Monroe.......2006-08-19

Great collection of songs. Very nostalgic. Marilyn had a sweet singing voice. A pleasure to hear. You'll enjoy the CD.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty much all of MM's musical highlights(with some exceptions).......2005-06-21

Though not particularly known for her musical attributes, this collection of sex symbol Marilyn Monroe's vocal abilities is pleasant. Sure, she's breathy and doesn't have much range, but her innate fire and talents as an actress give some of these tunes a real kick. "After You Get What You Want" from "There's No Business Like Show Business" may be the best song Monroe was ever offered; "I'm Gonna File My Claim" and "River of No Return" are equally impressive. Two songs noticeably missing are "Runnin' Wild" from "Some Like It Hot" and a charming version of "That Old Black Magic" from "Bus Stop", which Monroe recorded in character(with a hick-town twang). Otherwise, a first-rate package.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty bloody excellent...........2005-01-27

Marilyn Monroe, as an actress, I can only stand in small doses. Her movies are excellent, all of them have something worthwhile and redeeming - even the more mundane offerings like 'Bus Stop' and 'Niagra' are finely-crafted pieces of film - and the more sublime ones like 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' and 'Some Like It Hot' are honest-to-God classic examples of the comic genius of both 1950s Hollywood and Monroe herself.

For all that, however, I can still only watch the pink and fluffy Goddess for short bursts before I long for something that takes itself a little more seriously.

And that's when I turn to this!

Monroe as a singer I could listen to forever and a day. Worthy of a far higher degree of praise than popular culture has traditionally accorded her, Monroe's singing is a very rare experience indeed. Her range is impressive, and her style is actually quite thought-provoking - listen to the contrast between the bubblegum-light 'Down In The Meadow' and the melancholic, heavy 'River of no Return', and you'll appreciate the fact that, at least as a singer, Monroe was more than capable of shrugging off her Fantasy Gal image for a deeper and more developed means of communication.

This CD is particularly noteworthy for having all the classics, and also some rarer gems like 'I'm Gonna File My Claim' and 'After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It', both great numbers that are so often omitted from Monroe anthologies and such. Her interpretation of 'A Fine Romance' is one of the best ever, and her pairing with the immaculate Jane Russel on 'Little Girl from Little Rock' is worth the price of the CD alone.

If you look at all of the most vocally revered female songstresses of this period - Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Judy Garland - all of them have very fine voices, and an unusual vocal 'hook' - Billie's high acid melancholia, Nina's deep bass ad-libbing, and Judy's rolling, emotional high notes - and Monroe is no different. Her quivery, quirky soprano is fascinating to listen to, and matches her public personality as well as Ms. Julie Andrews' voice matches hers. It brings great depth to what would otherwise have been a relatively ordinary voice - but that's an advantage true of all singers.

One to own and listen to again and again, 'The Very Best of Marilyn Monroe' is something anyone with an appreciation of female vocalists will absloutely treasure.

5 out of 5 stars MARILYN AT HER BEST.......2004-07-13

I love the cd. Sound is good, and it was a treat to hear Down in the meadow and her rendition of WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, shows Marilyn had a great range. Recomended.

4 out of 5 stars If she was alive today she'd be on sell out tours..........2007-06-28

MM was a great vocalist, no doubt. If she had lived she would have done very well as a stage act - great voice, great charisma, brilliant witty interpreter of lyrics. Funny and fun. The compilation is great but some of the material on the second cd is a little pointless and repetitive.
