COMING UP IN THE JANUARY-FEBRUARY EDITION OF THE BBJ NEWSLETTER:


  • An in-person interview with veteran singer Marlene VerPlanck who began her career as a jingle singer, but then became an internationally known vocalist. Her precise yet emotionally charged style has endeared her to her audience.
  • A name perhaps lost in time is Gordon Jenkins, whose arrangements and compositions influenced generations of listeners. He's the one who wrote Benny Goodman's closing theme, penned THIS IS ALL I ASK overnight, accompanied all the top singers of the time and discovered The Weavers group. An inspiring story.
  • Four unique photos of U.S. Presidents with key musical personalities include: George W. Bush with Lionel Hampton, Richard Nixon with Duke Ellington, Lyndon Johnson with Cab Calloway and Pearl Bailey and Ronald Reagan with Ray Charles.
  • Reviews of albums and books, including Clooney, trumpet player Clark Terry and veteran actor turned excellent singer, Robert Davi, plus letters about Artie Shaw, a 1929 radio and a question about 9:20 SPECIAL.
  • Introducing a fresh, new SINGING GROUPS album highlighting many of the most famous singing groups of the Big Band Era.
