Description
180g virgin vinyl, limited edition of 650 copies only - the complete album + 2 bonus tracks. Born Betty Waddell in Columbus, Ohio, singer Betty St. Claire (1927-1972) was hailed as a "find" when, aged 14, she made her professional debut at the Detroit Club Congo. It led to theatre and club work throughout the Mid-West and the East and, eventually, a place with Dizzy Gillespie's 1949 big band, as well as jobs with other leading jazz groups like Erroll Garner's trio and Howard McGhee's quintet.
Although originally promoted as a live date at the Basin Street Club, the music on 'Like Someone in Love' was taped in a recording studio. St. Claire is backed by a quartet including Mundell Lowe, George Duvivier, and Ed Shaughnessy.
