Jussi Bjorling the great opera singer, is said to have a tear in is throat, and Jimmy Rushing might have had that too, because there is something special hearing him sing....
Someone commented earlier 'what an awesome life'. I guess I would agree if I were a feature vocalist for Count Basie! I sure wouldn't envy the racism these guys endured.
@harataharata You have to be angry about life, whine about your bad luck and why the world owes you a favour, 'bitches/hos', mofo this and that to get a record deal now. What a complete contrast

I saw jimmy rushing in Toronto, Ontario in the very early sixities-no mike and brought the house down: he was great.

The voice of Chuck Niles doing the intro there. 'Bebop Charlie' and 'The Hippest Guy in Hollywood' to L.A. jazz lovers.

Rushing sounds as fresh and wonderful as when I first heard him 50-odd years ago.
