  • Fascinating, hearing the younger Mabel.

    Speaking of obscure recordings, somewhere in the world exists one of Mabel

    Mercer performing You Better Go Now. It was, according to her biographer

    James Haskins, commissioned privately by Marlene Dietrich, whose daughter

    Maria Riva would be granting a great favor by unearthing it and allowing it

    to be reproduced in some form.

  • Mabel Mercer, the English version of Cape Verdean, Cesaria Evora, no?

  • This is magnificent - THANK YOU for sharing it with us.

  • one of the best singers was mabel mercer

  • This was Billie Holidays favorite singer legend has it that Billie would always catch her set fter her own show and management hated it cause sometimes billie would be high as hell and be obnoxious. Also lady got a tune "you better go now" from Mabel

  • Breath taking class.

  • WOW! thank you for the music and the photos. I read that Sinatra said that he learned everything he knew about singing from listening to Mabel Mercer.

  • The mistress of all she touches. Marvelous pianist.
