DJ Chrisbe’s Song of the Week #42: Baby, Baby

20.12.2010 by Chris

Because she sang “chee chee” in her high-pitched voice in almost every number somewhere, Rose Murphy (07.05.1913-16.11.1989) became famous as “the Chee Chee Girl“.

She started her career in the late 1930s playing intermission piano for artists such as Count Basie.

Although she was a highly talented pianist, she was best known for her eccentric singing. She combined scating, giggling, percussive sounds and squeals to a unique style.

Indeed, it's a challenge to listen to a full album by Rose Murphy in one go, it could be annoying…

No matter I love weird stuff! 🙂 Baby, Baby is my favourite tune I'm going to feature this week.
