LP cover lover Ruben, writes us: “Hello LP COVER LOVERS! I love this cover – maybe it is in your collection, maybe not. Great site you have. Regards.”
“Porgy and Bess” Dianne Carroll and The Andre Previn Trio United Artists Records
I don’t think of Ms. Carroll so much for her jazz vocal chops as much as her beauty and the TV show she starred in – Julia. I think she broke the color barrier as a black woman starring in her own series (and she was a single mom on the show), but that didn’t mean much to me. At 8, she just seemed cool and I was in love with her. Thanks for reminding me Ruben.

Joe Newman with his (then) new wife, Rigmor Newman. This cover was pulled from distribution so as not to offend with the image of a happy and happily integrated couple. His tune “To Rigmor,” (recorded around the same time) was dedicated to her. In the early 90’s Rigmor married Harold Nicholas (of the Nicholas Brothers).
