PS. Oh, and I forgot to say ... I saw him live in London at the famous Ronnie Scott's club in about 84/85. I sing myself and can be a terrible parrot, so occasionally I have to shake your pappy out of my feathers. No one needs poor man's Billy Eckstines when they're so much of him still out there!
Cheers to Mr.B!

Lovely to see this ... when I was a kid I picked out a LP from my Dad's record collection and began playing it. It was your marvellous father at Basin Street East with the band arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. I now have that record on CD and thirty-five years on I still play it regularly. The thing about Billy Eckstine was that he was such an intelligent and intuitive singer of a lyric. As with Sinatra he had a screenplay running in his mind while he sang.
