May 2, 2022 Records of the Day

Anita O’Day was a Jazz singer who broke the mold of the typical girl-singer of the fifties. She’s considered a pioneer in Be-Bop. Her bouts with drugs, alcohol, and wild ways earned her the nickname, “The Jezebel of Jazz.” Her 1953 album, “Singin’ and Swingin’,” released on Coral Records, is worth up to $150.00 today.  Her 1954 album On Clef Records can now sell for $100.00.
