  • @2:55, there's Judy Garland, in brief view from her movie, "The Clock". Love that movie.

    Piper Laurie gave an acclaimed performance of Lee Wiley, in a tv special, "Something About Lee Wiley", sometime ago.

  • @renew2day Yep! you caught it! -- that's Judy. I'll have to look for that Piper Laurie special. Would love to see it.

  • Nice one too by Bobby Hackett.

  • @warrenclarkable DEFINITELY!

  • I've always seen a resemblance between Lee Wiley and that fabulous actress, Ann Dvorak.

  • @edwardjames50 yes, you're right, I think!

  • I love lee wiley and this is my favorite of her albums....Plus it was great to see the Globe Theater at 1:29. My dad took me to see Gentlemen Prefer Blondes there for my 10th birthday...it was the only present I asked for ( yes I was a bit of a girlie boy ! )

  • What a TREAT!!! I've never seen a number of those recording session photos, and the footage of NY just makes me want to go back. Lee was SUCH a treasure. I wish more people knew of her great recordings. Thanks for posting!!

  • This fabulous version was recorded in 1950 and not in 1951! Thanks for posting!

  • Thanks to who ever uploaded this. As I look for music to memorialize my mom's recent passing, this definitely will be a part of my mom's story. I remember listening to this Lee Wiley album when I was a kid visiting my dad's loft in NYC during the early 60's. Thanks for the memories.

  • @Rena1934 yes, it really is! How could that be? With such a great library of wonderful recordings, you would think there would be something on film. So glad you are in contact with her family. i hope they know there are many who still appreciate her.
