She did many TV music/comedy series with Martin Short , Andy Williams , Ge...

Many great musicians have spoken concerning the talent of Kenny Colman. In 1979, Kenny Colman released a jazz album on Kett Records. There are not many info for the album because the vinyl is rare and hard to find. The album was released under the name " I need you ". However it is worthy to note that the album was released on CD.
