[MrGeeyess]

beautiiful!

This is one of the first two recordings that was released the first year of the song, the other was Andy Kirk!

One of the dumbest things I ever did was somehow lose a 45 rpm recording by Valaida Snow that I bought in 1953.It was on the Chess label and presumably the last recording she ever made.

It was ,if memory serves, very much in the then popular "Ruth Brown" pre-rocn'n'roll mode.Of course at the time I had no idea Ms Snow had been around for several decades

[predlycon]

is this the original recording?

[Msashay1]

This is real singing and talent. On picth good intonation. No need for autotune either you had it or you didn't. There are many things that we do not know about Ms. Snow, but one thing is for sure is that she was a hard working musician and musical accomplishments need to be celebrated. She spent time in a Nazi concentration camp and survived she is an American Hero. The jazz community has a responsibiity to embrace the jazz legecy of Ms. Snow and give her her props.
