'Rescue Me'

by brittreints cc

Just read online that that cool R & B singer FONTELLA BASS died at age 72. in St Louie. Her song 'Rescue Me' was a big hit way back in 1965. She had other favorite duet tunes around that same time with BOBBY McCLURE, including 'Don't Mess Upo A Good Thing' and 'You're Gonna Miss Me'.
She married jazz composer/trumpeter LESTER BOWIE in the '60s , and they traveled through Europe before settling in the U,S.A.
BASS in her 'les Stances of Sophie' and 'Theme of Yoko' were  her boundary-bursting jazz contributions to music...Go HERE
