I doubt Wood's version would have sold 3 million copies!
Marion Nixon was a real trouper.

She had such a great voice, but not credited for what she did. :-(

I saw a programme about her not long ago going through all the films she had sung in and the artists she wasn't allowed to talk about.
Lovely voice.

Yes I saw that programme too

What was surprising was how her voice fitted the star that she was singing for every time

Beautiful voice

RIP. Marnie
