Sid Mark (WPHT, 1210AM) whose very popular radio show which airs Saturdays and Sundays, plays only Sinatra. However, he broke with tradition and played "Come Rain Or Come Shine" from Jane Norman's new CD WITH LOVE. "I get hundreds of CDs from other singers and don't play any of them. But this one is special. Truly, one of the best albums I've heard," comments Sid Mark. "Jane's voice is superb, and how nice that she gives members of the 47 piece orchestra a chance to shine -- as did Sinatra. I also love the rendition of 'Quiet Nights' that she does with a young Brazilian singer who sounds like Jobim"
Sid will be doing an interview with Jane in the near future and playing more cuts from WITH LOVE. Jane is certainly in very good company with Sinatra and Sid Mark!

Celebrated artist Jane Norman and Grammy
Award-winning arranger Richard Rome transport listeners to a new musical dimension, while paying tribute to two of the "greats" in American Music: Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. Why an album of Sinatra
and Garland songs? Jane comments, "Nobody sings Sinatra's and Garland's 'signature' songs better than they...but we felt that new, contemporary interpretations of some of their songs (done with swinging brass and lush strings by 47 of the country's finest musicians) would put a fresh spin on familiar standards. Why not
a zany, playful, knock-your-socks-off rendition of 'The Trolley Song' or a Latin 'I Get a Kick Out of You' or an
ultra-sexy
'You Made Me Love You' ."
This is a tribute album of sheer devotion and joy, and critics believe it has the magic and staying power to
be one of the truly great classics. |

Some WITH LOVE Reviews
"This CD is as close to perfection as any I've ever heard. Jane's voice is pure liquid gold, and the album is a true marriage of a wonderful voice with incredible arrangements. What a joy to listen to!"
-Lou Powers, WBCB Radio
"Jane Norman's ' WITH LOVE' is a Great CD!!!! I enjoyed every track. Great arrangements, great voice, great backup, and I especially like the two numbers with Paul Jost. I hope this one goes far. Again, a great CD!!"
-Chris Nielsen, NPR Radio
"My senses have now been stimulated to the extreme... listening to Jane's new CD 'WITH LOVE' ! It's the perfect
CD for those in love or those who want to be in love...and it's the perfect match between artist and arranger. Richard Rome did some excellent arranging.
Every one of the songs shines with the beauty of Jane's voice. She is one of the few who can take a song...be it contemporary, smooth jazz or evergreens from the Great American Songbook, and make it sound like it's her song...written especially for her. And her phrasing is perfect, interpreting each song with emotion and devotion.
Just listen to the lead-off 'You Made Me Love You.' Need I say more?
Jane added a couple of her own compositions to this Love collection: 'The Newness of the Morning' and
'In Your Heart', that sound to me like they are standards already. And the duets are a nice added attraction."
-Jim Stone-Big Band Swing-WLNZ Radio
"This CD exemplifies that rare combination of wonderful songs, new and old, intelligently phrased and sensitively interpreted with lush, gorgeous arrangements, all tastefully delivered 'WITH LOVE' ! "
-Lynn DiMenna, Voices Among Us Radio WVOX
"I thank God for such great singers as Jane Norman. And what an impeccable style she delivers from
The American Song Book. Jane Norman is indeed a singer's singer, as her vocal talents shine with beauty.
Jane's CD's are a great part of GMMY Radio, and aired daily.
On Jane's newest CD titled 'WIITH LOVE' , there are 12 of the best songs ever recorded by any artist, and her renditions are a thumbs up all the way. These songs are sung sensationally by this giant of a singer who sings them from the heart. 'WITH LOVE' has the smack that others lack.
These songs are gems you will play over and over."
-Frank E. Dee, GMMY Radio
"WITH LOVE" follows in the footsteps of Norman's other two successful CDs, "MADLY IN LOVE" and "IN A CHRISTMAS MOOD," both of which received extensive air-play.
Jane Norman does it all! She is an acclaimed TV personality, recording artist, author and cabaret performer. Her musical roots date back to her childhood, when she began playing piano at age three. At age eight, she composed a classical piece that was performed by the renowned Philadelphia Orchestra. Jane went on to create and star in her own award-winning television program PIXANNE, which originally aired on WCAU-TV in Philadelphia and on WNEW-TV in New York before becoming nationally syndicated. |

In addition, she co-produced and acted in Emmy-nominated family television shows for both the NBC network and CBS.
She appeared on more than 95 TV and radio talk shows, including the TODAY show, in conjunction with her best selling book, "The Private Life of the American Teenager."
Jane is a superb communicator and her career has never stood still.
Today, the versatile and talented performer is also an acclaimed cabaret singer on both coasts. Very few artists elicit the kind of response Jane does. She has a special rapport with audiences of all ages, whether she's performing on a Las Vegas casino stage, in concert, or in more intimate venues such as the Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia.

West Coast critic Jeff Britton writes:
" Jane Norman conquers cabaret and beyond! Jane knows how to caress a lyric and engage an audience.
She can be sultry and sassy, with a pinch of brassiness for good measure. She's the real thing!"
Jane Norman is the consummate performer with a pure, sensual voice and a talent that never goes out of style. Best of all, she delivers her sensitive, passionate music...with love.
