Re: African-American musicians and Yiddish

hi,

someone mentioned Dinah Washington in this thread.  I never knew of Yiddish
material she sang, but on the radio during the last year I heard excellent
rendering of mameloshn (a ballad, I believe) sung by an African-American woman
whose name I knew from blues and gospel, '40s/'50s era I believe.  her name
completely escapes me right now.  any takers?  anyway, it was a beautiful
recording.

thanks...
Eve
