Ivie Anderson was a classy yet swinging singer, the best that <a href="spotify:artist:4F7Q5NV6h5TSwCainz8S5A">Duke Ellington</a> ever had. Early on she worked at the Cotton Club in shows and sang with <a href="spotify:artist:441RLEYmsezH6b7A7S7ZXJ">Anson Weeks</a>, Curtis Mosby, Paul Howard's Quality Serenaders, and <a href="spotify:artist:2mY5u4CceAPrpBnse1WpFr">Earl Hines</a> (1930). And then, from February 1931 until 1942, Ivie Anderson was an integral part of <a href="spotify:artist:4F7Q5NV6h5TSwCainz8S5A">the Duke Ellington Orchestra</a>, introducing "It Don't Mean a Thing" and singing such numbers as "Stormy Weather," "I'm Checkin' Out -- Go'om Bye," and a variety of pop tunes. When she left <a href="spotify:artist:4F7Q5NV6h5TSwCainz8S5A">Ellington</a>, it was because of asthma. She opened up a restaurant in Los Angeles and recorded eight songs in 1946, but her illness eventually struck her down. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
