British model Twiggy is attempting to revive her music career with an album of romantic cover versions of tracks by Neil Young, Bryan Adams and The Kinks.
"Music's so much a part of my life and my career," said the 61-year-old, who starred in film musical The Boyfriend and had a Top 20 hit in 1976.
Released on 21 November, Romantically Yours also sees her sing such classics as Blue Moon and My Funny Valentine.
"I haven't done this for quite a while, so people forget," said the model.
"I'm actually going back into what I've done since 1970."
Recently featured in TV adverts for Marks & Spencer, Twiggy - born Lesley Hornby - became the face of swinging London as a teenager.
During the 1970s, she was seen on TV singing with Bing Crosby and Bryan Ferry and had two albums in the Top 40.
Her cover of Adams' song Heaven features a new solo by the guitarist and singer, while Richard Marx appears on her version of his track Right Here Waiting.
Twiggy's daughter Carly also appears as a guest vocalist on the album, to be released through EMI.
