Ethel Ennis - My Foolish Heart (1957)
Baltimore jazz vocalist Ethel Ennis seemed poised for stardom, but walked away, disillusioned with fame. She had a great, expressive voice. Here's her wonderful version of the standard My Foolish Heart.
His lips are much too close to mine, beware my foolish heart

MOVIE MUSIC MONDAY
The full moon brings out the monster in you
A strange tune seems to be playing for you
“Mad Monster Party” from Mad Monster Party? (1967) – performed by Ethel Ennis; music by Maury Laws, lyrics by Jules Bass
The title song from Mad Monster Party? is played over the opening credits, sung by jazz singer Ethel Ennis. Replete with blaring brass, stabs of percussion, and string flourishes, “Mad Monster Party” resembles a James Bond song due to its orchestration at times – especially when Ennis snarls the word “mad” in the lyrics. How appropriate for a growling, unorthodox accompaniment to a just-as unorthodox movie.
Mad Monster Party? – yes, there’s a question mark in the title – is a theatrical stop-motion animation film directed by Jules Bass and produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. The film follows Boris von Frankenstein (Boris Karloff in one of his final films), head of the “World Organization of Monsters”, summoning the likes of Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, and others due to his castle for a special announcement. Rankin/Bass were best known for their TV holiday specials, such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) and Frosty the Snowman (1969). For various reasons, Mad Monster Party? has been little-seen, gifting it a cult following for those who have seen it
