Beauty and the Beard is an album by Al Hirt and Ann-Margret released by RCA Victor in 1964. The album was arranged by Marty Paich and produced by Steve Sholes.[1]

The album reached No. 84 on the Billboard Top LPs chart in 1964[2] and #47 on the Cashbox Top 100 Albums.[3]

Billboard Magazine awarded the album 'Special Merit' in their review column, stating that the record was "a wild and woolly combination. Ann-Margret and Al Hirt dish out a togetherness-type swingers. Ann-Margret does the huffin' while Al Hirt does the puffin'...duo provides much listenable entertainment."[4]

In their review of the album, Cashbox praised the album as "delightfully entertaining...the trumpeter also turns singer here as he and the lark give good humoured readings of "My Baby Just Cares for Me", "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "The Best Man" and nine other lively tunes. Some brisk trumpet rides by Hirt add colour to the session."[5]

The album was reissued on compact disc in 2010 by Bear Family Records under the title Personalities - The Velvet Lounge. It contained three bonus tracks never before released.[6]
