Okay, wenn die R&B-Women hier ein breites
Forum bekommen, dann soll MITZI MARS
mal ein wenig vorgestellt werden.
Sie arbeitete 1950/51 im berühmten Club De Lisa
und nahm am 30. Juni 1951 die etwas verunglückte
Platte "Jump Boy" bei JOB Records auf. Am 29. März
1953 folgte für Checker die Einspielung von "I´m Glad":
JOB 1006 Jump Boy/Scrunch (30.6.1951; veröffentlicht: 1/1952)
CHECKER 773 I´m Glad/Roll ´em (29.3.1953; vö: 5/1953)
Robert L. Campbell, Robert Pruter, and Armin Büttner:
Ms. Mars was a brassy nightclub singer, who often made her appearances wearing a blond wig. She had been on the South Side club scene since at least 1951, when she made an extremely obscure record for JOB with Henry Palmer and his Boys. Unfortunately, the songs she was given to sing on that occasion were incredibly inane, dated Swing numbers. An answer song to "I'm Mad" was much better suited to her, and "Let It Roll" (on which Ms. Mars employs an Eartha Kitt-like device, stretching "roll" out into "rolllll-a"), builds up some considerable momentum. Expert backing was supplied by Sax Mallard (playing tenor sax on this R&B date) and his quartet.
