Peggy Connelly

Another great voice from the 50's in fact this was recorded in "Hollywood" in 1956 !!....Music tastes do change and I guess there are many singers that are out there today that could equal voices like these "Lost & Forgotten" ones but where are they !! and why are they not promoted by the "Music Moguls" !!!...still they do say that "Music & Fashion" tastes do come round again eventually !!!


Connelly was born in Shreveport, Louisiana and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. She had a career as a singer and actress, starting with local dance bands (the first Harvey Anderson's) in the Fort Worth-Dallas area. In 1956 she recorded an album of standards, Peggy Connelly with Rusell Garcia – That Old Black Magic, for Bethlehem Records, reissued by Fresh Sound on Russell Garcia's Wigville Band. She also recorded two albums with The New Christy Minstrels.
 She moved to Europe in the early 1970s and worked as a single act until the mid-1990s, when she, Sarah Tullamore and Wendy Taylor formed a trio called The Jazzberries. The Jazzberries played extensively in Paris and throughout Europe until they disbanded in 2000.
