Louis Armstrong & Jewel Brown - I left my heart in San Francisco
Jewel Brown and the Heritage Hall Jazz Band
" Forget the fact that Jewel Brown has impeccable historical credentials, including a seven-year stint as the show-stealing vocal sensation with Louis Armstrong's band (1961-68). This artist is fully empowered now—full of voice, verve, and charismatic charms. Though her career began over half a century ago, she remains a major force, a brilliant interpreter of song."
August 30, 1937 was an exciting night in America as Joe Louis defended his world heavyweight championship for the first time following his defeat of James J. Braddock.
Coincidentally, delivery room doctors and attendants at a hospital in Houston, Texas were so engrossed in listening to a blow-by-blow description of the fight that they placed the name "Onyx" on the birth certificate of the baby girl born that night. The mistake was not noticed until 23 years later. By then Jewel Brown was already making a name for herself in the world of show-business.
