Anita O'day Day

This is another "through the looking glass white on the outside black on the inside" singer. Anita O'day had a storied career.
(I slightly modified and colorized the following email from Lester Perkins.)


Anita O'Day, born this day in 1919.

One of the great jazz singers
giving a stunning performance
at the height of her powers.

Don't miss this one.

Anita O'Day will make your feet sing when you see her with Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge and Gene Krupa.
Happy #93, Anita.
Finally! A birthday that is not eclipsed by my sister or Grandmother (or the Bricktop Sequence).
