Loulie Jean Norman (March 12, 1913 - August 2, 2005) was a coloratura soprano with a four octave range. Her vocals cane be heard in movies, records, and reruns of several TV shows. She was also popular with radio audiences. When she went to New York City to begin a musical career, her beauty led to her working as a model.

Norman delivered the non-lexical vocables over Alexander Courage's opening theme song for the first season of Star Trek. The music was remixed without Norman's voice for the show's second and third season so the producers could avoid paying her royalties.
