SHIRLEY
JONES
-
THEN

NOW
Bob Hope once described Shirley Jones as the "first lady of
American song". Her career has embraced almost every
aspect of showbusiness, Oscar winning actress, Broadway
star and everyone's favourite television mother in 'The
Partridge Family' alongside stepson David Cassidy. On
screen, Jones is fondly remembered for her performances
in the movie musicals 'Oklahoma!', 'Carousel', 'April Love'
and 'The Music Man'. This album is an impressive collection
of these original recordings from her long and varied career
alongside new interpretations of these timeless musical
classics.
