[ listen ]

Here's something breezy for a brisk and blustery Friday morning in Seattle. I first saw Diahann Carroll on screen in PARIS BLUES (1961) at the downtown Salt Lake City public library in the early 1990s. The film was being shown as part of a series on jazz music in cinema. In 1974 Diahann Carroll earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for CLAUDINE; she then appeared as Dominique Deveraux on "Dynasty" in the 1980s. You can read all about the life and career of the lovely Ms. Carroll on Wikipedia here and find liner notes from her 1967 "Nobody Sees Me Cry" LP below.
