STAGE DOOR RECORDS - Shirley Jones - Then & Now (STAGE 9008)

HOME

Bob Hope once described Shirley Jones as the "first lady of American song". Her career has embraced almost every aspect of show business, 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.

Stage Door Records gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Shirley Jones and Marty Ingels in preparing this collection for release.
