Interesting. The only woman on a Patton cover that I seem to see as white is on "Got a Good Thing Goin'" and I could be convinced that was not a white woman as well if my arm were twisted and I saw stars. . . . 

"That Certain Feeling". . . I would see no reason to change that cover. That model reminds me of my childhood neighbor and often babysitter Iona Harris, who I thought was one of the most beautiful gals in the world at the time, and she was not a "white woman."

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post

The passage is in this thesis here, just search for "white woman"

It says clearly that Patton was offended by the cover of That Certain Feeling...(It's even implied that the cover made him so bitter he left the music scene for a while)

Okay, thanks. That's sad. That does not look like a white woman to me. As I say looks eerily like my African American young neighbor in Philadelphia '57 to '66.

I've been wondering whether the thesis is a bit inaccurate here and Patton would have been offended by any woman on his album cover regardless of color... That would be more consistent with what I know about islam

That's a point to ponder.

Groove Holmes had no problem having women on his covers.

Bunny Berigan And His Orchestra “1937” Chronogical Classics cd

 

 

Bunny was a great trumpeter and kept an orchestra longer than some other instrumental leaders. Fun stuff, I like listening to the studio sides. Sometime soon I should pull a handful of aircheck LPs I have out of storage for a re-listen.
