Christiern Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 I agree that Adelaide Hall (like Kay Davis) was pretty much a one-song performer, as far as Duke vocalists go. If we are to include them, I think we cannot overlook Baby Cox, who growled herself so superbly into my memory. B) Quote
mmilovan Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) Betty Roche Have you heard her Bethlehem album? Very cool! ubu Not that one, but I got to do that. Al Hibbler was on very top of my list when I first heard him singing "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" on the old vinyl I own many years. Somewhat Billy Eckstine type voice, but very clear diction and big volume. And - yeah, yeah... we forgot DUKE himself doing singing on "Rug Cutters Swing" (was he forced by Leonard Feather to sing ) Nothing special, but it's Duke while singing.
