Hold tight, kiddies. There's so much fantastic music to share today that I'm barely able to contain myself - and I just might explode! For reals! Ready? Okay, let's go.

Pearlie's Blues, Julie's Sex, Tony's Live, Plus Vintage Esther And A Dub-Ish Secret Song!


It's Pearlie-time! Back in the 1930s, she was Philadelphia's favorite performer at all the finer black nightclubs. Then she went on to have a wowza recording, Broadway and TV career, as you surely know. A career in movies? Not so much.

Premium Porter, Lenny's Dirty Mouth, Vince At The Beach, Plus A Divine Secret Song!


Can you guess who's pictured above? If you guessed Peggy Lee, then you're quicker than me. It's a very young Peggy, of course; the picture was likely taken in the mid-1930s when she was singing at The Buttery Room in Chicago (still a decade away from releasing her first record). What I don't know is when she sang her first Cole Porter song, but I'm glad she's included on "The Very Best Of Cole Porter" - a De-Lovely Cheerful Exclusive! - a compilation where she performs "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" like a perfect (semi) virgin.
