Julia, Julia

porgyandbess

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.
