2026JUN1ST: 🌹 MARILYN'S CENTENNIAL 🌹
MARILYN MONROE
June 1st 1926 - August 4th 1962
During 36 years of her earthly life, Marilyn Monroe left us not only movies and songs but also the way of life of the mid-twentieth century, with all its dreams and hopes.
June 1st, 2026 marks 100 years since Marilyn Monroe was born. She was not just a film icon — she was a singer, a performer, and a cultural force whose voice still echoes in popular music. I will be exploring her musical legacy: from "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to her recordings, her influence on pop and country culture, and why she still matters in 2026.
Below are videos with her voice singing and her image dancing forever.
The following list is partly provided by ChatGPT and CLAUDE, on my prompts, and enriched by me.

Marilyn Monroe — Chronological Recording Sessions (1947-1962)
Here is a reconstructed chronological playlist/discography of Marilyn’s known recording activity: studio masters, film soundtrack sessions, important alternates, and legendary live recordings.
Although the list of her songs (and movies) is long , there aren't many dances choreographed on her songs or songs for her:
🔗Link to Copperknop Search about Marilyn Monroe
Actually... there's only one on a total of 6: the other 5 were written on tribute-songs her!
Dates are sometimes approximate because 20th Century Fox archives are incomplete.
1947 — First Known Recordings
For Ladies of the Chorus
- “Every Baby Needs a Da-Da-Daddy”
- “Anyone Can See I Love You”
These are Marilyn’s earliest surviving commercial recordings.
1948–1949
Small studio demos and vocal tests were reportedly made during her Columbia contract period, but several are now lost.
- “Kiss”
In this video, Marilyn sings only 40"
(from 1'02" to 1'42")
- “Do It Again”
(Some other survive only as acetates or fragmentary tapes.)
1950–1951
Mostly vocal tests and rehearsal work for Fox productions. There's no major standalone commercial songs known.
1952 — Breakthrough Musical Recordings
For the movie
We're Not Married!
(Click on link for the full movie)
...although it was planned that Marilyn would sing, in the middle this movie, the song:
- “You Were Meant for Me”
during a pageant contest she won (as Miss Mississipi), finally she didn't. There's no digital trace on the Net (but probably some old records of the film set on archives).
For Monkey Business
- “After You Get What You Want, You Don’t Want It”
1953 — Major Recording Year
For Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Recorded January–February 1953.
There are 4 songs:
- “Two Little Girls from Little Rock"
- “Bye Bye Baby”
- “When Love Goes Wrong”
This is the only one of her songs that had been choreographied.
DIAMONDS
This is the period where Marilyn’s “breathy” vocal identity became iconic.
For How to Marry a Millionaire
- “After You Get What You Want…” (reprise material)
- Promotional vocal fragments
1954 — The “River of No Return” Sessions
For River of No Return
Recorded in Hollywood during early 1954.
Songs:
- “River of No Return”
- “One Silver Dollar”
- “I’m Gonna File My Claim”
- “Down in the Meadow”
These sessions are among her finest pure vocal performances.
“River of No Return” became Marilyn’s closest thing to a true international hit single.
For There's No Business Like Show Business
Songs:
- “Heat Wave”
- “Lazy”
- “After You Get What You Want, You Don’t Want It”
- “A Man Chases a Girl”
- “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”
Important: “Heat Wave” required many takes because Marilyn was ill and exhausted during filming.
1955
No major commercial recordings.
Mostly Actors Studio period in New York with little musical work.
1956 — Bus Stop Era
For Bus Stop
Song:
- “That Old Black Magic”
This performance intentionally sounds raw and amateurish because her character is supposed to be an inexperienced nightclub singer.
1957
Private vocal rehearsals and unfinished studio tests exist from this period.
Some collectors mention:
- “When I Fall in Love” (authenticity debated)
- rehearsal standards
1958–1959 — The Some Like It Hot Sessions
For Some Like It Hot
One of Marilyn’s most famous recording periods.
Songs:
- “I Wanna Be Loved by You”
- “Running Wild”
- “I’m Through with Love”
Many alternate takes survive because Marilyn repeatedly restarted songs during filming.
“I’m Through with Love” is often considered her most emotionally moving performance.
1960 — Let’s Make Love
For Let's Make Love
Songs:
- “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”
- “Specialization”
- “Incurably Romantic” (duet with Yves Montand)
These recordings show a more relaxed and mature Marilyn voice.
1961
No confirmed commercial song recordings.
Some rehearsal tapes and private home recordings are rumored among collectors.
1962 — Final Recordings
Happy Birthday Mr. President performance
Song:
- “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”
Performed live for John F. Kennedy on May 19, 1962.
This became one of the most famous live performances of the 20th century.
Unfinished Final Sessions (1962)
For Something's Got to Give
No major completed songs survive, though rehearsal audio and vocal fragments exist.
Approximate Total Known Musical Titles
Depending on versions and alternates:
- ~35 officially released distinct songs
- ~50–70 surviving takes/alternates/rehearsals
- dozens of studio fragments and incomplete tapes
Marilyn’s Most Important Recordings (historically)
If historians had to preserve only 10:
- “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”
- “River of No Return”
- “I Wanna Be Loved by You”
- “I’m Through with Love”
- “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”
- “Heat Wave”
- “One Silver Dollar”
- “That Old Black Magic”
- “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”
- “Down in the Meadow”

1926—2026 RAY PRICE'S CENTENNIAL
GIF PHOTOMONTAGE: JLWL (DJ Jack)
Ray Price (1926-2013) was a great and famous country music singer, country song writer and guitarist.
As a "pure" Texan, he lived in his ranch in Mount Pleasant,TX and was professionally linked to Nashville,TN: He became a member of the Nashville Grand Ole Opry in the early 50s. Ray was inducted in the Nashville Hall of Fame in 1996 at 70 years old:
Of course, he performed, during many tours all over America, and particularly in Las Vegas,NV during the 70s in many major showrooms venues: Aladdin, Sahara, Flamingo... however not at the Sphere in Paradise,NV, which was built 10 years after his death.
Ray was a prolific country singer, musician and songwriter. Actually, I don't have a complete list of his works... however here's a very long playlist totalling 635 recordings (however, some are repeted in the list as they are appearing in several albums). Here's this huge playlist:
I was still in college when I heard on the radio one of Ray's songs which came back again and again and I loved it so much that I'm still remembering its lyrics... but partially after 50 years! Of course I forgot both the song title and who the singer was. But two weeks ago...
But two weeks ago, YouTube pushed to me different renditions of the English Renaissance song Greensleeves, all with the traditional lyrics. And... you know what?

Exactly 67 years ago: OHC❣️
OHC : OTHERS HATE IT COLD!
On March 28th, 1959, a wonderful movie was screened downtown Manhattan for its first premiere. The film related a story that took place thirty years before during the prohibition era. A great tem felt bad in coldy misty Chi and fled by train to the Magic City of Miami to get some hot sensation...
This masterwork is full of songs and music, and really makes everybody want to dance...
It's why I'm launching this project...
1st Song :
RUNNIN' WILD
Actually the song in the movie is only the chorus of the eponym song published in 1922 by Arthur Larrington Gibbs (composer) and Joe Grey & Leo Wood (lyricists).
Lyrics (Start after a long instrumental session)
Runnin' wild, lost control
Runnin' wild, mighty bold
Feelin' gay, reckless too
Carefree mind all the time, never blue
Always goin', don't know where
Always showin' I don't care
Don't love nobody, it's not worthwhile
All alone, runnin' wild!

I SOLD MY SOUL
La chanson est le Gospel ultra celebre "16 Tons" qui relate la vie dure, injuste et triste des oouvriers qui ont bati les USA (rail, gratte-ciels, mines, ponts, barrages, autoroures. etc.). Dans cette interpretation, Alan Cooper a adapte les paroles pour le monde actuel: effectivement lui "il vend son ame a (un mec qui porte) un costard et une cravate". Dans le Gospel original les paroles sont : "I owe my soul to the company store" qui fait reference a un system social qui rendait les ouvriers debiteurs perpetuels des grandes companies qui les employaient.
Je vous mets l'adaptation d'Alan Cooper:
Et je vous mets l'une des innombrables interpretations du "16 tons" classique que pratiquement tous les grands chanteurs americains ont mis a leur repertoire: Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Joe Dassin, etc.
Pour information: si tu aimes le Gospel, ouvre a droite,
et clique sur GCLRP
