A NancysingsBilllie

Hi, I my name is Nancy Ridley-Hughes. I first heard Billie Holiday's music from the movie "Lady Sings the Blues" starring Diana Ross. A friend gave me a Billie Holidy record in '82 and after that I purchased everything I could find. I felt a deep compassion for her feeling, sound, voice and soul. I listened and began to understand. Most of the standards she sang, I learned from listening to her sing them. I began singing her songs along 75th Street in Chicago, the then South Side Jazz Strip. I've had the fortune to perform with such great Masters as Von Freeman, Jodie Christian, Eddie Johnson, John Young, Eddie DeHass, George Hughes, Brad Goode and other Chicago Musicians

Sandi Shoemake

Born: October 9, 1938

Sandi Shoemake was born Sandra Marie Bumgarner on October 9, 1938. Her birthplace was Rochester, Minnesota but since her parents moved to Los Angles two years later, she has always considered herself a California native. Her father was a semiprofessional drummer-vocalist with Dixieland bands and from her earliest recollections she remembers wanting to sing. Though she went through the usual regime belonging to all the school choirs, her most helpful early training came from singing with her father's bands on their many dance engagements. In 1956 she enrolled in Los Angeles City College's music department, at that time considered one of the finest in the country for professional music training
