Duke Ellington and Ivy Anderson, 1931

[Robertgrade]

I think that Anderson was one of the greatest American singers of her time. I wonder how famous she would have been if she were born some years later.

Duke Ellington and Ivy Anderson: WHAT A MATCH...I love their music.

Does anyone have other songs from Ivy Anderson, Ellington? Example: one song deals with smoking a cigarette; Ivy and Duke recorded a full record of songs. Do you have any others?

Ivy Anderson and Duke Ellington, a match made in heaven!!!!!!!!
