From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Loulie Jean Norman (born in Birmingham, Alabama, on March 12, 1913; died August 2, 2005 in Los Angeles) was a famous coloratura soprano who worked with famed arranger Gordon Jenkins. Jenkins and Norman collaborated on a number of albums.
She provided the singing voice for the character of Clara in the film version of Porgy and Bess as portrayed by Diahann Carroll, for which she sang the beloved Gershwin song Summertime.
She also acted and sang the role of the Princess on the LP made from the 1960 Jerry Lewis film Cinderfella . It was not an actual soundtrack album; the entire cast of the album, except for Lewis, was a different one from the cast who co-starred in the film.
She is also the singer of the classic Star Trek theme.
She died on August 2, 2005 in Studio City, California.
