Maxine Sullivan - When Your Lover Has Gone, 1942

Maxine Sullivan (b. Marietta Williams in 1911, Homestead, Pennsylvania - d. 1987, New York City) enjoyed great success as a vocalist in the swing era and then later as a pre-rock pop singer. Her first hit was in 1937 with the song Loch Lomond. In 1940 Maxine co-hosted a nation-wide radio program called Flow Gently Sweet Rhythm. At the time it was the only coast-to-coast radio show that featured African-American performers as the MCs. After some acting, Maxine became a nurse in 1953. Five years later she returned to music, singing and playing flugelhorn and trombone.

Einar Aaron Swan (Eino William Swan) was born in Massachusetts, USA in 1903 to the Finnish immigrant family, died in Greenwood Lake, New York, USA in 1940. He was a composer, arranger and a sax player, best kown as an autor of the international evergreen „When Your Lover Has Gone" (1931).

One of the most underrated singers. Superb for Maxinne.

On a par with Lady Day, and I do not want to discuss it. To me, a divine voice.
