Dee Dee Bridgewater - who she? Georgie Fame - is he still alive? Boy George - There's always a downside Edited by rumbaba, Mar 23 2015, 03:33 PM.

I'm surprised that you've not heard of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rum. She was the lead singer in the the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, and has performed with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and others. Stylistically, I would say she is in the mould of Dinah Washington. I hope you enjoy the concert. It will be interesting to see how Boy George has developed. |

Only 64, from Memphis. How can I not know her? I must have come across her before, the name rings a bell. |
