text: # Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky & Me
  
  Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky & Me is a novelty album by actress, model and Playmate Jayne Mansfield in 1964. She recited Shakespeare's sonnets and poems by Marlowe, Browning, Wordsworth, Herrick, and others against a background of Tchaikovsky's music for the album. The album cover depicted a bouffant-coiffed Mansfield with lips pursed and breasts barely covered by a fur stole, posing between busts of the Russian composer and the Bard of Avon.
  
  The New York Times described the album as the actress reading "30-odd poems in a husky, urban, baby voice". The paper's reviewer went on to state that "Miss Mansfield is a lady with apparent charms, but reading poetry is not one of them."
