[Dixielandjazz] Teresa Brewer Obit - Music, Music, Music

[Don Ingle]

Terea was a gal from my dad's home town  (Toledo) and he was a fan of 
her's ever since he heard her do some of the Waller tunes in an album "I 
Love You Fats." He said...""hey, that's a belter!"
His tribute to the energetic singers who could "belt" a song with the best.
