The SHOCKING Miss Emerald !!

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by muriel_volestrangler (a host of the Video & Multimedia forum).

I'll be forever grateful to what tripped me upon the Charming Caro.

This Dutch woman's captivating voice will swoon you with her take on American 40's hip music.

And WHAT a collection of delicious tunes she's done !
Don't miss her dreamy "Night Like This," and "That Man!"

I'll post below a cheery Interview she did with a pair of inquisitive Brits, whilst absolutely gob smacked smitten in her radiant presence.

Pretty sure 'hip' is not a 40's term ... more of 50's and 60's thing ... ushered in mostly by Jazz mr_lebowski May 2018 #2

... could be wrong though, as I was either not alive, or too young to know ...

Will definitely check out her tunes, nevertheless ...

That's one of the best things about DU. One never knows in what directions one will be led by various threads. I, too, will check out Emerald. I love learning new things!

Thanks for the music video, way cool. And Tanner & Glenn Miller, that's special.

My mom and aunts danced to Tommy Dorsey live at a college dance.



1944 edition, first published 1939.



Some talented Hepcats!..
