MARY SMALL

MARY SMALL begann bereits 1933 bei dem Gesangstrio THE THREE X SISTERS
und sie nahm dann ab 1934 Schallplatten auf. Sie wurde in den 40er und 50er Jahren
'The Little Girl With The Big Voice' lange vor anderen Künstlerinnen genannt. Sie
sang mit diversen Orchestern und hatte lange Jahre ihre eigene Radio-Show.

Sie sang aber auch Songs von Fats Domino und auch "Razzle Dazzle". Ihre
Schallplatten gab es bis in die 60er Jahre für Marken wie King, Coral, Seeco, Capitol.

Mary war also 'small', hiess aber wirklich so: als Mary Elizabeth Small wurde sie
am 10. Mai 1922 in Baltimore, Maryland, geboren. Am 27. Februar 2007 starb
sie in Harlem, NYC.

King gab es in Kanada als Quality

Auf den Spuren von Fats Domino's Musik.

Auf SEECO ("Oh How I Miss You Tonight...Elvis) und englischer Philips
