Glad to see this clip of the fab Betty Reilly. THAT was her voice. She also sang with Xavier Cugat, and is the featured vocalist in the movie "On an Island with you". she recored with Capitol records. I have her singing "Besame Mucho" and "when did you leave heaven?" does anyone know what happened to her.
You are correct. A friend knows Graciela and she asked her about Betty Reilly. Graciela remembers her well, says she was wonderful and it was great working with her.
@JazzloverNYC I doubt it very much, i have a 1946 78 rpm copy of this song on the Deluxe label by Betty Fields and many Graciela 78's going back to the 1940's and no way was that lip synched to Graciela voice
Well, Kozmo . . . thanks for replying.
The energy that bursts out of the speakers when a Machito recording is on is like a tidal wave!

Well, folks . . . one HIP Irish-Latina!
What sax is the guy on the left playing---Bass? C-Melody?
HEY--tell me WHY it is SO difficult to find the recordings that Charlie Parker made with Machito's blazing group?

Pretty cool segue from a mambo to a classic 40's R&B/swing number...

She certainly knew her Miguelito Valdes!

I thinki she is lip synching to Graciela's voice.

Lip synch, I don't think so my friend!!! Not during that time; plus you can't compare Gracielas voice with Betty.

Maravilloso video de Machito... pero estoy sorprendido de la pronunciacion de esa canatante Betty Reilly. No conocia de ella pero es maravillosa.
