[Dixielandjazz] Looking for other lyrics...

[Patrick Cooke]

About that time, there was a young singer named Joannie Sommers.  She had a
great jazz style, and made a few good recordings.  They were getting air
play, and Steve Allen had her on his TV show.  I thought she was going to be
a success in the jazz idiom, but her managers(?) talked her into branching
into the pop field to garner a larger audience.  The jazz audience promptly
abandoned her; and she really didn't have a feeling for the pop drivel, so
the pop audience didn't really latch on to her either.  I haven't heard
anything about her since.
