Hey Ionson - I think you have me confused with the JLawry talking about Kay Starr in the HDTT thread. But I know that JLawry well enough to say he agrees that Jack Teagarden is a not-nearly-enough-recognized name and that he had no idea Kay Starr sang with his band. But JLawry did read where Billie Holiday once said that Kay Starr is the only white woman who could sing the blues. Maybe Kay Starr would have said Billie Holiday was the first black woman to be able to do justice to a song like “Pennies from Heaven” (which probably isn’t true, but not far from it).
