Little Girl Blue sung by Ms Carol Sloane. 💙
There's an incredible recording of her singing this at the Newport Jazz Festival as a young teen in the film SLOANE: A JAZZ SINGER. (And if watching her listen to it 70+ years later doesn't move you you need to check for a pulse!) youtu.be/AC_S783v_Qc?...
The cover of OUT OF THE BLUE, featuring a 24 year old Ms Carol Sloane on the cover in a midnight navy evening dress. Carol Sloane began performing this song - "Little Girl Blue" - regularly at the age of 14, and it became of of her signature songs.
