A rousing start from Winifred Atwell with Cross hands boogie. Nellie Lutcher- Hurry on down. A wee bit naughty. She's a rather neglected R&amp;B jazz singer and composer. Ruby Wright, the daughter of country singer Kitty Wells, with Boy you got yourself a girl. Jeri Southern- Call me tonight. A torch singer whose career sadly faded in the late 50s. Giselle McKenzie- Seven lonely days. Canadian born, popular in US T.V and musical theatre. Bill Perry's Entertainers from 1927 on a rare Puritan label. The Wisconsin record label only existed between 1917 and 1929. Jane Froman had a long and successful career in the US on radio, T.V, film and on record but what a tough life she had. Severely injured in an airplane crash in 1943 she struggled with pain for the rest of her life. Three band singers- Anita Boyer with Artie Shaw, Connie Haines with Tommy Dorsey and Jean Farrar with Harry Roy. Juthika Roy,  a classical, devotional and singer in Hindi and Bengali films. Connie Boswell- This time its love. Professor J Earl Hines and his godwill singers- Get on board little children. Hines was a gossip singing pioneer with his Gossip choir at St Paul's church choir in L.A. He gave vocal training to a very young Etta James. Forgotten songs oldest record, so far. Bluebells of Scotland by Madame Derring. Recorded in August 1906 in London. What an amazing concept, a piece of history 116 years old. It cost me £1. Harry Parry and his Radio Rhythm club sextet with St Louis blues. Vocals by Rita Marlowe. Another singer with very little history. A fine voice, especially for the blues.

FS86: Jeri Southern to Connie Haines and Juthika Roy

Miles Davis said Jeri Southern was his favorite singer. Frank Sinatra called her “the very best.” David Garland has interwoven his 1990 interview Jeri Southern with a new conversation with Jeri’s daughter Kathryn King—mother’s and daughter’s comments together forming a vivid portrait of wonderful artist who should not be forgotten.
