The soundtrack to the film “Fire Down Below”   Decca Records   (1957)   Rita Hayworth (on location in Tobago) with Jack Lemmon and Robert Mitchum directed by Robert Parrish.     The title song is sung by Jeri Southern.   Jack Lemmon composed and performed all of the harmonica themes in the movie and Robert Mitchum was so inspired by the Caribbean location that he recorded a – now classic – Calypso record.   (Check it out on LPCoverLover)

Cynthia Gooding Sings Turkish and Spanish Folk Songs   Elektra Records   (1953)   Cover Illustration by Maurice (“Where the Wild Things Are” and “In the Night Kitchen”) Sendak.   These drawings remind me of Edward Gorey a bit.   Many great artists and illustrators did covers early in their careers – both records and books.   Search the site for Gorey, Warhol, Crumb, Ben Shahn, Miro and on and on.
