Anita O'Day sings "Honeysuckle Rose."

Anyone ever heard this song? It's an old Fats Waller jazz standard. My mom used to sing it to my dad during long drives, which really weirded me out; it's pretty erotically-charged.

Anita O'Day sure knows how to scat, though.

Anita O'Day was an inspirational and innovative artist. I would have loved to have seen her live, although I am far too young to have seen her at her in her prime. It would be good if someone made a film about her life and brought her style and delivery to a broader audience. Dont be shy any takers? I would do it myself, but I'm booked up all of next week.
