The Dallas Post _ Dallas, PA Wednesday, May 18, 1994 5 As | was saying... i Anita O'Day: song stylist par excellence “bro By JACK HILSHER Believe it or not, the world's greatest jazz vocalist is a senior ‘citizen! Yes, Miss Anita O'Day is “74-and still swings. A perform- “ance at Michael's Pub in NYC ht this review from the “TIMES, “Funny, swinging and “convincingly the best jazz singer performing today.” ~ "Her record “In a Mellow Tone” ‘gotequal raves and her autobiog- ‘raphy “High Times Hard Times" ‘has been reprinted in paperback. "O'Day deserves her returning “fame but she doesn't get it from the ‘quality of her voice. She has always had a unique huskinessin her singing which came from several things, like botched ton- sillectomy and years of unfiltered cigarettes. And booze, of course, which seems to go with the terri- tory. ! But the tome doesn’t matter, it's what she does with it. She should be getting royalties from those canaries (that's what they used to call girl singers with big hands) who copied her style, like Chris Connor, and even Doris Day before Doris turned to sugar. JAZZ TIMES says, “She remains nothing short of amazing. She asks no quarter of anyone or anything, including Father Time." As great as she sounds on rec- ords, O'Day should really be heard in a night club, with the atmos- phere properly smoky and a spot- light focused on that simple black dress, a single strand of pearls and white gloves. Then, and only then, can you fully savor that ash-blonde belting out “Lover Come Back.” Oh my, when you'd love to live forever! O'Day performs in Hong Kong, Rome, France and Japan. The Japanese discovered her in the 70s and she has been back nu- merous times. Working about only six months a year, she made “Anita O'Day Live” in London at Ronnie Scott's club for British TV. O’Daydoesn’t let her age bother her. She says, “As you get older you do what you can to help the scene. | capped my front teeth and lightened my hair, but that's it. I don't sell sex appeal. I sell sound.” With her life as rugged as Billie Holliday's, she never minds being compared to Holliday musically. Of Billie, she says, “That's the one that did it. I said, if that girl can make a living with that sound, so can I. She aint’ got no voice. I got no voice. It's styling.” “That's what I'll be...the great- est song stylist in the world. Now, most everyone else is dead, so | am the greatest.” Memorial books donated to library "' The Back Mountain Memorial Library, 96 Huntsville Road, Dal- las announces the addition of the following memorial books to their collection. “In memory of Lester R.
