Ann Mitchell: Music & Video
Over the Rainbow
One of my favorite genres to perform would be, without question, the unforgettable hits originally sung by female vocalists ~ Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page, Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, Doris Day ~ and more. I created [and continue to perform] my tribute to these great female crooners of the 40's/50's. REMEMBER THE LADIES! features some of the best tunes from the HIT PARADE.
The stories behind the songs are classic. For example, did you know that Rosie C wasn't particularly fond of singing COME ON A MY HOUSE? She preferred singing lush ballads...as do I! Kay Starr did not read music. Jo Stafford studied classically! Judy Garland is my favorite vocalist. The passion in her performance - whether onstage or in her movies - has always been an inspiration to me as a vocalist.
I look forward to performing REMEMBER THE LADIES: The Fabulous Females of the 40's & 50's or JUDY! for your event soon.
