She transitioned in 1970 and went public with her new name in 1972. She subsequently moved with her second wife Christine to the United States, where she was deeply involved in creating and arranging music for some of the most highly acclaimed movies and television shows of that era. She was twice nominated for an Oscar (the first out trans person to be so acclaimed) and won three Emmy Awards. In her association with Philips, she was the arranger and conductor for all the pop records made by African American icon Muriel Smith (23 February 1923 \u2013 13 September 1985), probably best known for creating the title role in Oscar Hammerstein\u2019s musical <em>Carmen Jones<\/em>. Smith moved to the UK in the early 1950s and achieved enormous acclaim and recognition for her stage portrayals in the West End of the British premieres of <em>South Pacific<\/em> and <em>The King and I<\/em> before returning to the United States in the early 1960s. These recordings, made between 1953 and 1955, are noteworthy both for Smith\u2019s unique way of connecting with her musical material as well as for Morley\u2019s lush and varied musical arrangement. When I first discovered Muriel Smith during the first year of <em>Countermelody<\/em>, I made it a goal to collect all her elusive yet remarkable Philips recordings, promising to celebrate that accomplishment with my listeners once I finally attained it. Just last week, I finally secured my last Morley\/Smith 78. So here, finally, is that very special episode, replete with Smith\u2019s intensely personal song stylings backed by the evocative arrangements of Angela Morley (for once identified in these recordings under her post-transition name).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All tracks feature Muriel Smith with arrangements by Angela Morley leading Her Orchestra<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ronald Cass, David Climie: The One I Love (Is Not in Love with Me) [1954]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harry Noble: Hold Me, Kiss Me, Thrill Me [1953]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Louis \u201cLoulou\u201d Gast\u00e9, G\u00e9o Koger, Sonny Miller: I\u2019d Love to Fall Asleep (And Wake Up In Your Arms) [1953]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Auyar Hosseini, Norman Gimbel: Climb Up the Wall [1955]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following eight tracks comprise the 1953 10-inch LP release <em>I\u2019m in the Mood for Love<\/em> featuring Muriel Smith with Angela Morley and her orchestra.
