Stoloff also utilized Greer's talents for two projects on the newly formed Colpix Records label, having her record ' My Funny Valentine' (he supposedly had never liked the version done by another singer for Kim Novak in Pal Joey), and Hayworth's signature song ' Put the Blame on Mame' for the album Voices, Soundtracks and Themes From Great Movies (Greer's name was once more left off both the label and the jacket). Hayworth would attend Greer's recording sessions and dance barefoot for her in front of the microphone, so that Greer could follow her breathing and movements as she sang.

Greer and Hayworth enjoyed a good working relationship on all three of the films they did together. When the latter two soundtrack albums were released by Mercury Records and Capitol Records respectively, however, Greer's name was not even listed, in order to preserve the illusion that it was Hayworth who sang.

In 1952, Rita Hayworth had returned to Hollywood following the break-up of her marriage to Prince Aly Khan and began work on her 'comeback' film, Affair in Trinidad. Her other career was as a secret 'ghost' singer for famous movie stars. She won the 1956 Down Beat Readers Poll for 'best girl band vocalist.' Greer became increasingly associated with her distinctive version of Brown's hit song ' Sentimental Journey', which he had originally recorded with Doris Day.
