Ann Margret 1961 - 1966 Collectors Box Set Book and 5 CDs Elvis Presley, Pat Boone, Al Hirt
Pop fans and '60's aficionados: Enjoy 133 Ann-Margret performances on 5 CDs, alongside a book containing lyrics, biographical information, and more! The hardback book alone is worth the money, as it features beautiful photos, collages of movie stills, lobbies and posters from A-M's Hollywood heydey. The music is purring, cooing frosting. This is a well maintained pre owned out of print 5 CD box set of Ann Margret's music catalog from 1961 through 1965. The box set includes the five CD's with tracks listed below, and a hard cover 74 page book of highlights from her career during those years. The box has some very light storage wear on the corners, and the CD's appear unplayed.
The highlights: lovely ballads like "His Ring", "My Last Date With You", "What Am I Supposed To Do", and a highly creditable cover of "Moon River"; unreleased gems like "I Ain't Gonna Be Your Fool No More" (used on an episode of 'The Flintstones' but never included on any of Annie's records!) and the tough girl/devoted girl epic "You Sure Know How To Hurt Someone"; soundtrack goodies (Anything from "The Pleasure Seekers" is welcome) and duets (her salacious, nudge-wink tunes with Al Hirt are to die for). This is bubblegum, yes, but it's classy candy indeed.
In a professional career that's nearing its 60th year, Ann-Margret has become an entertainer of world renown: an actress who's received two Academy Award nominations, and a singer-dancer who has graced stages from Las Vegas to a command performance for the King and Queen of Sweden. And throughout her career, she might have adopted both versions of Let Me Entertain You as her theme song. Because there are two Ann-Margrets: the quiet, demure girl who emigrated from Sweden as a youngster, and the fiery performer whose every note, every move, simply sizzles. Music has played a major role in Ann-Margret's career from the beginning, and in addition to starring in several musical films, she's continued to sing and dance in spectacular live shows -- her 1992 appearance at Radio City Music Hall in New York is said to be the biggest production ever staged in that renowned venue. Within a relatively brief time from her arrival in Hollywood, Ann-Margret was soon signed to film and recording contracts; between 1961-1966, she recorded several pop albums for the RCA label, as well as soundtracks for films including 'State Fair', 'Bye Bye Birdie', and 'Viva Las Vegas.' She was even animated, by the Hanna-Barbera Studios, and appeared as 'Ann-Margrock' in 'The Flintstones', where she wound up singing a lullaby, The Littlest Lamb. During this time, Ann-Margret worked with many of the finest producers, arrangers and musicians in Hollywood and Nashville, and held her own with all of them -- recording pop standards, rhythm and blues, Dixieland jazz or anything else that her producers would give her.
