One evening, When I was 19 years old, I was sitting in The Troubador. In walked Judy Henske, One of the reigning queens of folk music. After introductions were made, she laid a friendly hand on my shoulder. "Honey," she said, "I'm going to tell you something that will make your life a lot easier. In this town there are four sexs: men, women, homosexuals and girl singers."

Now, let me say that I love this girl singer called Rosemary Clooney. I love her jokes, her voice, her children, her naughty laugh and her lively intelligence.

If there's a 'girl singers anonymous,' Rosemary is my sponsor. This is a wonderful collection of songs, and Rosemary tells the stories in full-blown technicolor.

——Linda Ronstadt

萝丝玛莉?克鲁妮（Rosemary Clooney，1928.05.23 －2002.07.29），毫无疑问的，她不但是50年代最性感的女星，而且也是爵士名人堂里难得一见的、集容貌、气质与歌艺於一身的白人爵士巨星，同时她也是当今最影坛最性感的男人－乔治?克鲁尼的舅妈。成长於30年代，对摇摆乐的狂热是自然而然的，萝西迷上了歌唱，平克?劳思贝、法兰克?辛那屈、比莉?哈乐黛都是她的偶像。为了一偿所愿，能在电台唱歌，她分文未取没天没日的唱，她的努力与付出终获赏识，17岁的她就进了她梦寐以求的大乐团担任歌手，从此一路青云。50年代，便以单飞之姿与各大知名乐团合作，并跨足影、视、歌三栖，一共有13首歌挤进了Top 40。随著摇滚乐的兴起，萝西以家庭为重，淡出歌坛，直到70年代末再度复出。走老运的她，以醇厚、浓郁的歌声再一次掀起歌坛的怀旧风潮，不但新的唱片一直灌录，连以前的专辑都不断的复刻再上市，直到过世为止。
