Maxine Sullivan
with Claude Thornhill and Orch.
Sullivan was born Marietta Williams in Homestead, Pennsylvania. After moving to New York, Sullivan sang during intermissions at the Onyx Club and was discovered by the pianist, Claude Thornhill. Thornhill recorded her with a sympathetic septet singing a couple of standards and two Scottish folk songs performed in swinging fashion — "Annie Laurie" and "Loch Lomond" The latter became a hit record and Sullivan's signature song for the rest of her career.

Fancy seeing Maxine Sullivan and John Kirby mentioned below. I has a 78 of John Kirby playing "Undecided" with "From A flat to C" on the flip side. I thank my parents for my jazz education.
I love to listen to Maxine Sullivan singing with Scott Hamilton.
