Mimi Roman

About Mimi Roman

Mimi Roman was a country singer who flirted with fame in the 1950s, cutting a handful of sides that earned her the respect of her peers and a small fan following despite not scoring a major hit. Roman was a versatile singer who could and did adjust her vocal style to suit upbeat country numbers, dreamy love songs, playful novelty tracks, and splashy show tunes while sounding classy at every turn, never overplaying the emotions or attitudes of the songs. Mimi Roman also recorded pop material under the name Kitty Ford, and while she never released an album under either name during her active career, the Sundazed label offered a thorough sampling of her recorded work on a pair of 2022 compilations: First of the Brooklyn Cowgirls as Mimi Roman, and Pussycat as Kitty Ford.
