Maxine Sullivan. Yesterday I picked up a bargain-basement 3-CD pack called ‘
Jazz Divas’ featuring performances from (mostly) the late ’30s and early ’40s. Most of the names were familar to me: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, Anita O’Day…
Maxine Sullivan’s, however was not, but, what a great voice… If you like that sort of thing, then you should watch her sing
Ace in The Hole and
I Can’t Get Started (two 1958 perfomances on youtube).
