Blossom Dearie's voice, critic Whitney Balliett once wrote, would scarcely reach the second story of a doll house. But that has never stopped her from swinging like mad. http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/

Bill Black Gene Krupa Deep Purple
Posted by: drchilledair
Video duration: 122 seconds
Singer Black finally had his time in the sun---in Japan---when his "lost" recording, "Down in the Depths" was released to wide acclaim there in 2005. Here he is with employer, Krupa, in a short subject from more than a half-century earlier.
