Short List with Bob
Naujoks
Mon. - Thurs. at 8:35 AM and

The Short List: Vocal Short List 11 (Lola Albright)
If the name Lola Albright doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps “Peter Gunn” will. “Peter Gunn” was a landmark television show from the late 1950s. Although it was done as a “film noir” detective series, it was Henry Mancini’s inventive jazz sounds that gave it class. Albright was cast as the singer in the jazz club and Gunn’s girlfriend. Her sultry, low-key voice and physical beauty made her a favorite with the viewers. Her singing career lasted just about as long as the show, 1958 to 1960.
