P大別嚇人....Baker姨還好好的 倒是這個不久前的消息 Anita Belle Colton O'Day October 18, 1919 - November 23, 2006 http://www.anitaoday.com/ Anita O'Day, the last surviving member of the pantheon of great jazz singers (whose ranks also include Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughan), passed away Thanksgiving morning at the age of 87. Born in Chicago, O'Day gained national attention as the girl singer with drummer Gene Krupa's orchestra on the hit record "Let Me Off Uptown." After two tenures with Krupa and one, inbetween, with Stan Kenton and his Orchestra, O'Day became a solo star and, along with Fitzgerald and Vaughan, a founding fore-mother of modern jazz vocals. Known for her inventive scatting as well as her touching balladeering, O'Day recorded several dozen classic albums, mostly for the Verve label in the 1950s. Ms. O'Day was often as flamboyant visually as she was innovative vocally, evidence of which can be found in the films "The Gene Krupa Story" and "Jazz On A Summer's Day. A survivor of both heroin and alcohol addiction, she was also the author of one of the great jazz memoirs, "Hard Times, High Times" and the subject of a full-length documentary film, 'Anita O'Day - The Life of A Jazz Singer' which is currently in the final stages of completion. ---Will Friedwald November 23, 2006 唉...天妒英才 紅顏薄命... -- 吼...內有宅妹 不喜勿進 http://www.wretch.cc/album/olawu 還有不太常更新的網誌 = =a http://www.wretch.cc/blog/olawu -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.74.226.253
