The Marilyn Monroe Collection 1949-62

Dieses 34-Track-2-CD-Set vereint die meisten ihrer bisher aufgenommenen Auftritte in einer musikalischen Umgebung. Die meisten davon sind Performances aus den Soundtracks ihrer Filme, mit den Ausnahmen ihrer Titel, die sie 1954 außerhalb einer Filmumgebung für RCA aufgenommen hat, und die legendäre Aufführung von "Happy Birthday" für Präsident John F. Kennedy im Madison Square Garden im Jahr 1962 ein paar Monate vor ihrem tragischen und vorzeitigen Tod. Die Filme, aus denen die Lieder in dieser Sammlung stammen, sind "Ladies Of The Chorus", "Niagara", "The French Doll", "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "River Of No Return", "There's No Business Like Showbusiness", "The Seven Year Itch", "Bushaltestelle", "The Prince And The Showgirl" und "Some Like It Hot". (Es enthält keine Aufnahme von "When I Fall In Love", welches Marilyn manchmal von anderen Kompilern zugeschrieben wurde, es aber allgemein bekannt ist, dass es von Sandra Dee performed wurde).
