An
international
star
for
six
decades,
millions
adored
Julie
Andrews
as
Maria
in
The
Sound
of
Music
or
as
Mary
Poppins,
but
Julie
was
already
performing
from
an
early
age
a
long
time
before
all
that.
In
1948
the
twelve
year
old
Julie
starred
in
Starlight
Roof,
a
West
End
show,
singing
The
Polonaise
from
Mignon,
an
aria
that
showcased
to
great
effect
her
range
and
exceptional
vocal
ability.
Julie's
rendition
of
Polonaise,
possibly
her
first
commercial
recording,
is
the
opening
track
on
this
CD
which
also
contains
her
follow
up
recordings
-
Je
Veux
Vivre;
Come
To
The
Fair;
Je
Vous
Dirai
Je
Mama
and
The
Wren.
As
well
as
appearing
in
various
pantomimes,
Julie
was
soon
established
on
BBC
Radio
with
a
regular
spot
on
the
show
Educating
Archie.
The
cast
of
Archie
recorded
Jack
And
The
Beanstalk
which
featured
Julie
performing
a
delightful
solo
titled
When
We
Grow
Up.
Julie
then
originated
the
role
of
Polly
Browne
in
the
New
York
production
of
The
Boy
Friend
to
great
acclaim.
The
day
after
the
show
opened
Julie's
name
was
moved
above
the
title
of
the
show
-
at
nineteen
Julie
had
become
a
Broadway
star!
High
Tor,
a
television
musical
with
Bing
Crosby
followed,
but
it
was
the
role
of
Eliza
Doolittle
in
My
Fair
Lady
that
made
Julie
a
household
name.
The
show
opened
in
New
York
in
March
1956
to
ecstatic
reviews
and
was
ultimately
considered
the
Broadway
smash
hit
of
the
1950s.
Julie
reprised
her
role
when
the
show
transferred
to
London.
In
1957
Julie,
in
collaboration
with
Gilbert
&
Sullivan
veteran
Martyn
Green,
recorded
a
unique
selection
of
nursery
rhymes
with
music
and
percussion
by
Moondog,
the
non-conforming
and
talented composer,
poet
&
musician, entitled
"Tell
It
Again
-
Songs
Of
Sense
&
Nonsense". The
eclectic
mix
of
traditional
children's
songs
and
riddles
expressed
a
sense
of
naivety
and
innocence
reflective
of
the
period,
and
is
heard
on
this
CD
in
full.
The
collection
here
showcases
the
recordings
made
in
the
early
years
of
Julie
Andrews'
career,
the
music
and
performances
that
would
shape
the
career
of
a
truly
remarkable
talent
and
a
much
loved
lady.
