Hi Don,
Interesting story.
Last year I had to give a presentation to the london Branch of the
Sinatra Society. I had already done my male vocalists lecture, so they
came up with the idea of the Capitol Jazz singers. There was a good
selection - Ella Mae Morse, Cow Cow Boogie, Anita O'Day, Louis Prima,
Bing and Louis - from High Society, and of course Peggy Lee. I also used
Kay Starr and Johnny Mercer, June Christie and Nat.
just demonstrates how much they contributed to jazz.
