“Tina”   “Her Portrait in Hi-Fi”   Tina Louise sings.   (1957)   Louise made four record albums, this one and “It’s Time for Tina” on Concert Hall, and two others on the Urania label in 1958 and 1959.   Before being forever remembered as Ginger on the TV Land staple, “Gilligan’s Island”, Tina Louise was in films like “God’s Little Acre,” on Broadway in the musical “Lil’ Abner (with Batman’s future “Catwoman” Julie Newmar) and one of the favorite pin-up girls and models of the fifties, appearing in Playboy and many other men’s magazines of the time.   Her last notable film role was in 1975’s “Stepford Wives”.

    …and like I said on another blog, what with standing six feet high in her own incredible body, there is just no way that chick could have been of THIS world.

    She did a good guest shot on “Married… With Children” about 1990, on the same episode with a very early appearance of Tia Carrere.

    Evidence of the LP “It’s Time for Tina” is currently ripped and posted at:

    for all to GRASP and to GRIP.

    Considering how notoriously pent up Louise has always been, unlike Bob Denver and Dawn Wells, does anyone get the feeling that maybe she SHOULD have inhaled?

    Gorgeous cover! I’m wondering what songs are on this LP, and what she sounds like on them. I have the one which is on CD, ‘It’s Time For Tina,’ where she’s accompanied by a small trio. Too bad all of her recordings aren’t on CD.

    I would LOVE to hear the rip of “It’s Time for Tina” but your link above is restricted :(

    May I be invited to listen?

    Unfortunately this album does not feature Tina Louise in any way other than her appearance on the cover. The album is by Marco Gregory and his Orchestra (his only credit) and features a selection of classical pieces ‘inspired’ by Tina.

    Your description that Tina ‘sings’ caused me to pay way too much for an original copy when I finally found one!
