Born Linda Gloria Spaziani in Ann Arbor, Mich in 1936, LindaLawson began her music career at the top, singing at The Sands in Las Vegasand, in 1957, making singles for the Verve label with an orchestra arranged andconducted by no less than Henry Mancini. She seemed set to make a considerableimpact in music, but instead decided to focus on an acting career and by 1960was busy in movies and on TV, where her rising profile led to Introducing LindaLawson, her debut album as a singer.

Recorded in 1960, with an orchestra arranged and conductedby the gifted Marty Paich and packed with the finest West Coast jazz talent,her performance suggested that a successful career in music was hers for thetaking. But acting remained her first love and these recordings are the onlyexamples of her notable musical ability. In them she combined the highly complementaryskills of singing and acting, splendidly uniting them to tackle the range ofhigh-quality and demanding material chosen for these sessions. That she did itwith persuasive aplomb is abundantly clear from the results.
