Cybill Shepherd is a one-of-a-kind steel magnolia, a Southern beauty queen who looks soft as a flower petal but who in reality is anything but soft on the inside. Her patrician looks and bombshell figure generated modeling and acting careers while her saucy attitude and flair for comedy won fans for her as well. Most interesting of all, behind the beautiful façade is a woman with brains and talent. She always spoke her mind, as evidenced by a tell-all memoir in 2000 in which she didn't hesitate to spill the beans and name which male co-star failed to finish a horizontal tango, which one tangoed too fast, and who was best equipped for the encounter. In addition to modeling, acting, writing, and producing, Shepherd also sings. She has released seven albums and has performed live in cabarets and other nightspots in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and London.

Like many vocalists, Shepherd began with a stint in the church choir as a child. She started taking voice lessons when she was 16 years old. Her repertoire is a mixture of standards, blues, rock, and ballads. Peabo Bryson appears on her Somewhere Down the Road album. Stan Getz joins her on Mad About the Boy, and Phineas Newborn Jr. appears on Vanilla. Another album, Songs From the Cybill Show in 1999, is a tie-in to her similarly named television comedy series which launched in 1995.

A Tennessee native, Shepherd twice took the title of Miss Teenage Memphis, first in 1966 and again two years later. She was named Model of the Year by Stewart Models in 1968. Her photo has graced the covers of such magazines as Vogue, Life, People, and Glamour. One of those covers sparked Peter Bogdanovich's interest in Shepherd, leading to a long-term relationship and a starring role in his 1971 film, The Last Picture Show. The Heartbreak Kid followed the next year.

Other films include Texasville, Married to It, Daisy Miller, and Taxi Driver. Her awards include four Golden Globes and an equal number of People's Choice Awards. The Hollywood Radio and Television Society dubbed Shepherd and Bruce Willis, her co-star in the Moonlighting television series during the late '80s, Woman and Man of the Year in Broadcasting.

Shepherd was married twice. Her 1978 marriage to David Ford ended in divorce in 1982. In 1987 she wed Bruce Oppenheim, but that union, too, ended in divorce in 1990. She has three children. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/cybill-shepherd-mn0000149345#biography

She has performed sold out concerts blending rock, blues, ballads and standards. Cybill has recorded seven albums, including "Mad About The Boy" AKA "Cybill Getz Better" with Stan Getz and "Vanilla" with Phineas Newborn Jr., and "Somewhere Down The Road," featuring the title cut with Peabo Bryson. Cybill's recent CD "Talk Memphis To Me", a musical homecoming inspired by the sounds of Memphis, is Cybill's proudest musical endeavor. Her latest effort, "Cybill:Songs From The Cybill Show" is a collection of songs and comedy soundbites from her hit CBS sitcom "Cybill".

(1:12) 14. All Of Me

Every once in a while, the actress Cybill Shepherd records a vocal album. She has a nice voice and a straightforward delivery, and expresses warmth and an understanding of the lyrics that she interprets. Not much of an improviser, Shepherd nevertheless swings lightly and does a good job on these 14 songs. Accompanied by pianist Tom Adams, Shepherd is at her best on the veteran standards. There is a bit of a slump on the five more contemporary pieces (cuts eight through 12), which are pop-oriented, a bit too straight, and of lesser interest. More rewarding are her versions of "My Romance," "You Took Advantage of Me," "Begin the Beguine," and "All of Me." This set also included a CD-ROM of publicity material plus versions of "Menopause Blues" and a second take of "Graceland Revisited." ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/at-home-with-cybill-mw0000687213

Personnel: Cybill Shepherd (vocals);  Tom Adams (piano).

Cybill Shepherd - Mad About The Boy

Styles: Jazz, Vocal
Year: 1976
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 34:52
Size: 80,4 MB
Art: Front

(3:40)  1. Triste
(3:33)  2. I Can't Get Started
(2:15)  3. Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
(3:51)  4. This Masquerade
(3:24)  5. Mad About The Boy
(3:04)  6. I'm Old Fashioned
(4:41)  7. It Never Entered My Mind
(3:00)  8. Speak Low
(3:07)  9. I'm Falling In Love Again
(4:13) 10. Do It Again

In contrast to most actor/actresses-turned-vocalists, there's nothing to joke about on this album no Golden Throats candidates, except maybe the title track. For starters, Shepherd has a solid jazz ensemble backing her up, led by Stan Getz and arranged by Oscar Neves, and gives us a very enjoyable jazz-flavored record. She takes the Fred Astaire approach to singing, not denying that she has a limited range but working carefully within that range and even using those limitations to her advantage. Getz's solos perfectly complement Shepherd's voice, and she stretches out ravishingly on "This Masquerade," "I'm Old Fashioned" is a sexy torch number in her hands, without a trace of campiness, "Speak Low" soars subtly and elegantly, and the opening number, Ginastera's "Triste," is a sophisticated piece of concert music and a triumph for her as well. Peculiarly enough, the title track doesn't hold up as well as the rest, the weakness in her voice coming through at various points in its length, and is the only second-rate number here, although it is fun. Frank Rosolino (trombone), Terry Trotter (piano), and Monty Budwig (upright bass) make up the rest of the core of the band. ~ Bruce Eder http://www.allmusic.com/album/mad-about-the-boy-mw0000227663
