Anita O'Day has died, but she still lives in the hearts of jazz lovers everywhere. Tonight I plan to honor her memory by relaxing, pouring a long -tall drink, and listening to some of her greatest hits. Now if I could just find a copy of "Jazz on a Summer Day"....
She was a tough and tragic lady -- went through a lot of pain, much of it self-inflicted -- but at her peak she was one of the best ever.
"Honeysuckle Rose" we will miss you!
Read about her here.
