Biography


Born: October 27, 1919

Babs Gonzalez - jazz be-bop vocalist (1919 - 1980)

Jazz singers used the scat technique, that means using the voice to create notes that are not words so the voice works like a musical instrument - and they also used slang in their music. Vocalists such as Slim Gaillard, and Babs Gonzalez were larger than life characters who used strange, funny new words in rhythmically complex phrases.

  • Thanks. Babs is a gem.

  • @BuckshotLaFunke No comparison...Babs is the "natural" real deal cat

  • Mickey Baker on guitar. By the way, this is the B side: She's Just Right For Me

  • Player...play on!

  • Supposedly one of the coolest boppers, but I liked Al 'Jazzbo' Collins better. Thanks for posting, anyway, he deserves to be on YouTube.
