First spin off album of medleys from the popular American TV series The Roaring 20s starring Dory Provine. Includes the British top twenty hit single Don’t Bring Lulu. (US:34 UK:3)

The Roaring 20s started off as a television drama series, with Dorothy Provine starring as Pinky Pinkham, the singer at the Charleston Club. Although intended as a drama, the music featured, which saw Dorothy updating the best known songs of the '20s, earned accolades in its own right, with Don't Bring Lulu becoming an international smash hit single. This in turn prompted two albums, the first of which is presented here.”

“The material is done well and Dorothy`s singing is right on.”

“If you're into the Roaring 20s music you must get this album. When you listen to it, you can just see Dorothy 'flapping' in some speakeasy swinging a long strand of pearls with a band behind her. The cover photo says it all.”
