The Cunninghams This great husband-and-wife vocal duo of Don and Alicia Cunningham had to go to Japan in 1982 to initially obtain the recognition they so obviously deserve. Still active today, they work continuously in locales such as Okinawa, Indonesia, Japan and Malaysia and even a bit in the U.S., where they still might be just a wee bit too hip for the house. This somewhat underexposed video was captured at the the club Sometime in Tokyo. Tags: vocal jazz Duke Ellington |

Page Cavanaugh Jeri Sullivan Daddy-O There is no "Honey Swanson." What you have here is the moving image of Virginia Mayo; the ghostesSING of the terrific but nonetheless obscure Jeri Sullivan, backed by the Page Cavanaugh trio from a certain movie of the late 1940s (you do the "math"). The song is "Daddy-O" by the wonderful team of Don Raye and Gene De Paul. http://people-vs-drchilledair.blogspot.com/ Tags: jazz vocal |
