Written to be played & performed Within the Movie, i.e. Not as part of the Movie Soundtrack. In this scene, Marilyn sings the song as it is being played on a record, at an impromptu dance party.

"Kiss" was composed by Lionel Newman, with lyrics by Haven Gillespie—both of whom are uncredited. The Song, within the Movie Plot, was considered to be a Big Hit. which meant it had to be written well-enough to Be a "Hit". "Kiss" was later included on record albums made by Marilyn, and also Covered by Other Artists. I do not know if it was ever actually a Post-Niagara Hit.

Trimmed by me into a 1-minute SHORT, from an original that was 2:27 Minutes. Trimmed to just Marilyn singing the Song, to avoid Copyright issues, And so Links (▶️) will work.

Marilyn is said to have had Affairs with U.S. President John F. Kennedy, AND his brother Attorney General (later U.S. Senator (NY-D) Robert F. Kennedy, both also my distant cousins.

All 3 died untimely deaths. Conspiracy Theories link the 3 deaths. According to the book "Double Cross" by Chuck Giancana (Sr) & Jr., all 3 deaths were arranged by Chuck''s brother, Mafia Mobster Sam Giancana.

ALLEGED SUICIDE:
The Official Coroner's Report said that Marilyn died from a drug overdose (lethal doses of barbiturates). But Chuck Giancana alleged she was Murdered in a way that was staged to embarrass US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who had visited earlier that night. Chuck claimed the US Secret Service had also been secretly watching Robert, and cleaned things up to make it Look Like Suicide. A corollary theory was that she was Murdered because she wanted Power and was threatening to go Public about her affairs with the Kennedy Brothers.

Double Cross: The Explosive, Inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America
by Sam Giancana (Godson) and Chuck Giancana (the Mobster's brother)
