Exclusive Gloria, Plus Betty's Completeness, More Maisel Music, Herrmann's Tippi, Plus A Former Bowie Band Member Secret Song!


There's no one like Gloria Lynne. She can take on any musical genre - jazz, blues, Broadway, pop - and bend them to her will. It's no wonder that she won a first prize trophy at an Apollo Theatre amateur talent contest in the 1930s - after lying about her age in order to qualify, since she was only 15 years old. Such spunk!

Betty & Rays's First Time, Carmen & George Get Into It, Plus Lang Soars And A One To Love Secret Song!


In a world that's lately gone completely mad, I think it's more than the right time for a bit of heart-cleansing levity, or as the inimitable Chuckles the Clown says, "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants." And, yes, soul-reviving music. A fool's paradise? Maybe. But I'll take it.
