Free For All Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Sad news. Did some gigs in the 80s with Woody's band with her and Rosemary Clooney, Kay Starr & Helen O'Connell. She was a very cool lady, very funny and fun to hang out with. RIP. Quote
GA Russell Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I hear her fairly often on Sirius on the 40s channel. I like her. RIP Quote
king ubu Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Had no idea she was still around... all I got of hers is that LPR CD reissue of "The Jerome Kern Songbook" - but that was a very pleasant surprise! r.i.p. Quote
JSngry Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 She was the first to record "Moon Beams", right? Quote
GA Russell Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks to comments by Mark Stryker, Doug Ramsey has Margaret Whiting, Jo Stafford and Frank Sinatra doing Moonlight in Vermont on his Rifftides blog. Great comparison! http://www.artsjournal.com/rifftides/ Quote
