[Dixielandjazz] Paula Kelly, Jr. - R.I.P.

[Robert Ringwald]

Paula Kelly, Jr. was the daughter of Hal Dickinson and Paula Kelly, members of The
Modernaires, the vocal group long associated with the Glenn Miller Orchestra before
embarking on a solo career.
Paula Jr. took over her mother's place as lead singer in the group in the late-1970s,
a position she held until just a few months ago when she was sidelined due to surgery
on her vocal cords. Her sister Julie replaced her as lead singer.
She became ill about a week ago with a brain aneurysm, followed by other complications,
and was removed from life support earlier this afternoon, with family at her bedside.
