When I was young I fell in love with Fleischer bros cartoons. I loved Betty Boop, as I aged I learned that I actually prefer the pure insanity of the Popeye cartoons but Betty Boop still kicks the crap out of any of these modern cartoons by a mile. Well, fast forward to my teens and I fell in love with Blossom Dearie, the great Jazz pianist and vocalist who, to many people, sounds kind of like Betty Boop. I listened to her for years.
Just yesterday I got a link from my uncle
man this woman is great! Why haven't I heard of her before? Am I the only one? I've downloaded an album and have been listening to her non stop for the past 24 hours. Very cool stuff.
