Anita Belle Colton O'Day
October 18, 1919 - November 23, 2006

Anita O'Day, the last surviving member of the pantheon of great jazz singers
(whose ranks also include Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah
Vaughan), passed away Thanksgiving morning at the age of 87. Born in
Chicago, O'Day gained national attention as the girl singer with drummer Gene
Krupa's orchestra on the hit record "Let Me Off Uptown." After two tenures
with Krupa and one, inbetween, with Stan Kenton and his Orchestra, O'Day
became a solo star and, along with Fitzgerald and Vaughan, a founding
fore-mother of modern jazz vocals. Known for her inventive scatting as well
as her touching balladeering, O'Day recorded several dozen classic albums,
mostly for the Verve label in the 1950s. Ms. O'Day was often as flamboyant
visually as she was innovative vocally, evidence of which can be found in the
films "The Gene Krupa Story" and "Jazz On A Summer's Day. A survivor of both
heroin and alcohol addiction, she was also the author of one of the great
jazz memoirs, "Hard Times, High Times" and the subject of a full-length
documentary film, 'Anita O'Day - The Life of A Jazz Singer' which is
currently in the final stages of completion.
