What tunes did Elisse Cooper record with the Eddie DeLange orchestra?

Answer 1

Songstress Elisse Cooper

Mabel Elisse Cooper was born on August 22, 1915 in Columbia (Richland Cotton Milltown), South Carolina, USA. In 1944, Elisse married Gabe Gelinas, a sax player in the Jan Savitt Orchestra. Gabe died just 6 years later in 1950. She continued working as a songstress until 1949, singing on Radio and in Chicago and New York dinner clubs. However, the 'Big Bands era' had ended, and by 1953 she was working as a musical talent agency placement representative.

Elisse had tremendous drive in a small size. Ben Bernie, "the old Maestro", was fond of introducing her as the "Pixie from Dixie". Chico Marx Introduced her as "Sugar, " 'cause she's so sweet". Several New York Times Articles referred to bandleader Eddie Delange always dancing his pretty, "diminutive songstress" off the stage.
