Singer <a href="spotify:artist:6ps0NAqQBEbX3LBuTMgmCF">Jackie Cain</a> (born May 22, 1928, Milwaukee, WI) and singer/pianist <a href="spotify:artist:3pqhVdFspg2hDQE0EYnVZs">Roy Kral</a> (born October 10, 1921, Chicago, IL) first joined forces in 1946, and in 1996 they celebrated their 50th anniversary as a vocal duo. Jackie & Roy were with <a href="spotify:artist:6ivz1LSbG04pV8AQUFaY53">Charlie Ventura</a>'s band during 1948-1949 (which gave them a great deal of recognition); <a href="spotify:artist:0Pol0HPxPfUmI3qqbZYYkL">Lou Stein</a>'s "East of Suez" was an unusual feature for their voices. Shortly after leaving <a href="spotify:artist:6ivz1LSbG04pV8AQUFaY53">Ventura</a> in June 1949, they were married and worked together on a regular basis ever since. Jackie & Roy had their own television show in Chicago in the early '50s, worked in Las Vegas during 1957-1960, settled in New York in 1963, and appeared on some television commercials. They recorded many spirited jazz performances for a variety of labels through the decades, and performed into the 2000s until Kral's death in August 2002. <a href="spotify:artist:3pqhVdFspg2hDQE0EYnVZs">Roy</a> was the brother of singer <a href="spotify:artist:5O996HwuG2b83Wa7obBtgE">Irene Kral</a>. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
