"LIZABETH" - LIZABETH SCOTT with Henri Rene and his Orchestra
female pop jazz vocal LP from Elvis Presley (Loving You) & film noir actress and sex kitten. The liner notes make numerous mentions of sex and sexy things, almost ridiculously... also some maybe unfortunate references given her previous libel suit against a scandal sheet rag.
Original USA pressing LP on Vik (RCA Victor) Records. Original Mono pressing, with "Long Play" labels. Cover is NM. Note: white back cover color is consistent and even, without any yellowing or darkening you may see which is merely a product of my bad scanner. Labels are NM. Record is NM with 100% full original gloss. Original Vik inner sleeve.
Erskine Johnson reported back in January 1954 that Scott was being trained by Hollywood voice teacher Harriet Lee,[268] and later by Lillian Rosedale Goodman—the final result was that Scott "has a vocal range of two octaves, A below C to High C,"[269] making Scott a mezzo-soprano. In July 1956, Johnson reported that Scott was under the management of Earl Mills, who also managed the singing career of Dorothy Dandridge. Scott was planning to debut as a torch singer on the nightclub circuit.
In 1957 Scott reemerged from retirement in Loving You, Elvis Presley's second musical. Scott played Glenda Markle, the manager of a failed country band, led by her disgruntled ex-husband, Walter "Tex" Warner (Wendell Corey). By accident, she discovers the musical talent of a young delivery man, Deke Rivers (Presley), and uses him to revive the band's fortunes by appealing to teenagers. Glenda creates interest in her protégé with unorthodox stratagems.[271] During the shooting of Loving You, Scott was reported to be infatuated with Presley. During a kissing scene, she playfully bit him on the cheek, leaving a red mark, which she called "just a little love nibble." The scene had to be reshot with the other side of his face to the camera.[272] But Scott's musical debut came to naught. Though Hal Wallis tried to get Scott's singing voice undubbed for the production, he was overruled by the studio heads, despite all of Scott's previous voice training. Production ran late January 1957–mid-March 1957.
Undaunted by Paramount's refusal to let her true singing voice be heard, Scott signed a recording contract with Vik Records (a subsidiary of RCA Victor). Scott recorded her album with Henri Renéand his orchestra in Hollywood on October 28, 29 and 30, 1957. Simply titled Lizabeth, the 12 tracks are a mixture of torch songs and playful romantic ballads. The album includes Cole Porter'sI'm In Love Again.[274] The inner notes has an interview with Scott by columnist Earl Wilson, who writes in typical Wilsonian prose, "Liz, who's quite a blouseful, is a fan of Ralph Waldo Emerson, sleeps in the nude, loves deep-sea fishing ... and adores sexy clothes."[275] Finally on Wednesday, April 23, 1958, Scott made her public singing debut on CBS' The Big Record.[269]
