Jill's biggest hit was "Love Me to Pieces".

Original Billboard review: "Here's a "big" ballad sung straight by Miss Corey. Song is from TV show, "Climax!" The flip, "Make Like a Bunny, Honey" should be the winner."

Written by Gilbert Bécaud, Pierre Delanoë & Mann Curtis.

The other side of the single, "Make Like a Bunny, Honey" charted at #95.

Jill Corey was both beautiful and talented. I was a young teen in those days and I remember having a crush on Jill about 1957 or so.

@azw596 Yes, Jill adapted very well to different types of numbers. Quite different than the fast songs she did!

@Wordsmith37 I have a weakness for records by gorgeous girls with beautiful voices, as you can tell! I understand how you feel.
