Kay Martin

"If it were not for the Internet, the works of Kay Martin, a one-time centerfold / nightclub entertainer / "party album" recording artist, would have been forever lost to the vinyl bins of America. Her six albums (that I know of) consistently sell on eBay for remarkable prices - including her most popular album: the 1962 Christmas album "I Know What He Wants For Christmas (but I don't know how to wrap it!)". ...
... This album compiles several of the studio recordings made inbetween nightclub dates and features a little bit of everything: Kay the straight singer (she reworks both "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Halleujah I Love Her So"), Kay the naughty singer (her sly numbers must be heard to be believed), as well as The Bodyguards singing and cutting up. ..."
The 365 Days project over at WFMU's Beware of the Blog gives us Kay Martin - At Las Vegas.

Note: "I Know What He Wants For Christmas (but I don't know how to wrap it!)" should still be available over at The Groove Grotto. Also available is s/t album "Kay Martin and Her Bodyguards"
