Music reviews of Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967 Film Soundtrack)Music Review: ANN DEE~MYSTERY SINGER OF ROSE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE! Thoroughly Modern Millie is a corny little movie filled with bloated egos...a classic and very soulful singer Miss Ann Dee (Angela DeSpirito) sold her legendary San Francisco "Ann Dee's 440 Club" a famed night club where Ann developed and showcased numerous big name talent such as Lenny Bruce, Ernestine Anderson, Johnny Mathis, Fran Jeffries and many others to come to LA to embark on a solo singing career and by this time Ann Dee was already well into her forties..."Free Again" is a timeless classic Capitol Records lp filled with thrilling performances including the definitive version of "If He Walked Into My Life" from the musical "Mame" and the brilliant and hauntingly gorgeous medley "Carnival/This Dream" which is high vocal art at its very finest! "Free Again" was produced by avant-garde producer David Axelrod and beautifully arranged by the legendary Ernie Freeman with a full studio orchestra...Ann Dee was so incredible in concert performing these wondrous classics with such passion and tremendous vocal beauty & quality that she received numerous standing ovations every night over the years in always packed-out clubs (was the wildly successful "house singer" at the Beverly Hills "Ye Little Club" for many years) where one could find a wide array of the famous such as Judy Garland, Timi Yuro, Edith Piaf, Toti Fields, Carmen McRae, Johnny Ray, Margaret Whiting, Dorothy Collins, Yvonne De Carlo, Gordon MacRae, Alexis Smith, Joanie Sommers, Regis Philbin to name just a few in her adoring audience...hopefully this lost vocal masterpiece will someday be released on Compact Disc if Capitol Records ever wakes up and realizes what a glorious treasure they have in their vault deserving to be remastered and released! Ann Dee was next cast in this lame and superficial Hollywood Musical and was thrilled but soon found that she would be pushed into the background by the greedy "stars" of this movie who were threatened by her magnificent talent (especially vocal!) and didn't want to share the spotlight or residuals with her...this was why Ann Dee did not receive any billing for her glorious performance that is clearly the finest vocal on this otherwise tired soundtrack filled with cartoon like baffonish performances. Ann was deeply hurt by all of this and the real kicker is that Ann Dee received no billing at all on the original soundtrack lp for her sublime performance of "Rose Of Washington Square" and was listed only as "vocal blues singer"...for shame and this needs to be corrected!!!! May Ann Dee rest in peace and she is loved and missed by many...those 5-Stars are all for you Angel as you earned every one of them!!!
