British ladies of the 1950s

The list author says:
	"This is where the future Downtown girl started out on record, as the number one Children's Choice."

The list author says:
	"Britain's biggest female singer to emerge from the 1950s. Shirley was launched as a British Eartha Kitt. Her first single, Burn My Candle, was banned by the BBC."

The list author says:
	"The Gal With the Giggle in her Voice livened up those austere days."

The list author says:
	"Almost everything recorded by the Irish songbird with the lilting voice."

The list author says:
	"A good introduction to this lady, who sang a lot more than 'Doggie in the Window'."

The list author says:
	"Three can be better than one. Great stuff here."

The list author says:
	"The Atomic Blonde. Only one hit, but the whole lot is magic. She exudes fun!"

The list author says:
	"Not the best singer, but it's simple fun for the young at heart."

The list author says:
	"If you can find a copy, grab it. Beautiful voice."

The list author says:
	"Glamorous Eve is another who only had one hit with a novelty, 'Pickin' a Chicken', but it was untypical of her output."

The list author says:
	"All her biggest hits are here to enjoy."

The list author says:
	"Why it isn't available, I don't know. The first singer to really make her name via TV performances."

The list author says:
	"Yes, she had a career after the war. And with the advanced recording technology, she sounded better than ever."

The list author says:
	"Another wartime singer who remained successful afterwards."

The list author says:
	"Known as an actress, but this album proves what a great singer she was."

The list author says:
	"Sadly only half the CD is the Life With the Lyons daughter. But what a half..."

The list author says:
	"Rarities by some of the above, and the lovely Jean Campbell."

The list author says:
	"Dorothy's only chart hit until the 60s was 'I'm Walking Behind You', in 1953. This CD also has her great re-recordings of earlier (pre-chart) successes."

The list author says:
	"Our Gracie had a few 50s hits. Sadly this rare CD, featuring her first LP, is hard to come by."

The list author says:
	"A real pin-up beauty, with a nice voice to match. Alas, she was officially hitless, although I Dreamed made the Melody Maker chart."

The list author says:
	"Many of the girls here would never get their own CD, so enjoy what we're being treated to on this wonderful set."

The list author says:
	"Britain's first real 'indie girls'... admittedly, most of them aren't British, but they had the good sense to record in Blighty!"
