rich-joy Obit: a thread for Betty Carter (1929-1998) (22) RE: Obit: a thread for Betty Carter (1929-1998) 03 Jan 18


Yes Indeed! "Red Top" by Betty & King has long been a favourite of mine!
I can't access my most of my LPs at present, so can't check for Gene's trumpet player (though 20 years on he used Joe Newman in some sessions....)

Interesting, that quote from Ms O'Day re Ella ....
Perhaps the point was that she COULD sing anything and everything! (and perhaps was only truly happy when Singing? And after all, she wouldn't be the first person to assuage him/herself with food intake......)

I too, like this thread, Keberoxu - Thanks!
(I might even take the time to revisit my old Gene Lees books, which I loved :)

Cheers!
