Now former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos is hoping to reach a less captive audience in the U.S. with the release this week of a cassette of twelve "songs of love and friendship" that she recorded with Philippine pop singer Imelda Papin. Titled Imelda Papin Featuring Imelda Romualdez Marcos, the cassette will be produced in a limited edition of 5,000, and includes five solos by Mrs. Marcos. Papin says the songs, including Feelings and I Just Called to Say I Love You, are all beloved tunes of the ailing Ferdinand Marcos. If Mrs. Marcos is looking for a surefire hit, she might consider Blue Suede Shoes.
