"This Is Fran Jeffries" is a sophisticated traditional pop and vocal jazz album, originally released in 1966 and reissued digitally by Legacy in 2016. Produced by the legendary Fred Foster (known for his work with Roy Orbison), the record showcases Fran Jeffries not just as an actress ("The Pink Panther"), but as a serious vocalist with a warm, enveloping timbre.

The arrangements range from swinging big band numbers (such as "Ain't Misbehavin'") to intimate ballads. The tracklist includes time-tested jazz standards by Ellington and Gershwin, as well as a bold-for-its-time interpretation of The Beatles' ballad "Yesterday." The album's style perfectly embodies the atmosphere of upscale 1960s supper clubs.
