In August 1963, West Coast singer Sue Raney appeared on the Australian TV program Brian Henderson's Bandstand. Henderson had been a newsreader on the country's Nine Network when he began hosting its music show from 1958 to 1972. Sue was likely in Australia to perform and promote one of her Capitol releases. The following three videos from her '63 TV appearance recently were posted at YouTube. A special thanks to Steve Taylor for alerting:
Here's Sue singing Fly Me to the Moon. What a marvelous, flawless vocal...
And here's What Is This Thing Called Love. That's a lot of instrumental traffic to weave through while delivering a heartfelt vocal...
To read my two-part interview with Sue Raney in 2012, go here and here. Sue remains one of the finest jazz vocalists of her generation.
