Muriel Burrell Smith (February 23, 1923 – September 13, 1985) was an American singer.
In the 1940s and 1950s, she was a star of musical theater and opera, and was also the off-film ghost singer in several hit movies.
She is perhaps best known in the UK for her 1953 #3 hit single, "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me", which was first covered in 1965 by Mel Carter (and which remains a staple of easy listening and oldies radio to this day) and later in 1994 by Gloria Estefan.
She died in relative obscurity in 1985.
