Chanteuse
US née le 12 Septembre 1924 à Mansfield près de Dallas (Texas). Ella Mae Morse a débuté en 1939 dans l'orchestre de Jimmy Dorsey. En 1942, elle s'associe avec le pianiste Freddie Slack et enregistre chez Capitol Records. Elle devient l'une des grandes vocalistes des années pré-Rock 'n' Roll. En 1957, elle
disparaît du Show Business et est oubliée de tous. Ella Mae Morse tente un come-back en 1976, se produisant dans les clubs de la région de Los Angeles (Californie). Elle est décédée le 16 Octobre 1999.
One of the
most talented and overlooked vocalists of the '40s, Ella Mae Morse blended jazz,
country, pop, and R&B; at times she came remarkably close to what would be known
as rock & roll. When she wasn't yet 14, Morse had her first taste of the big
time, when Jimmy Dorsey's band came to Dallas for a stay at the Adolphus Hotel
and she called for an audition. Unbeknownst to her, the band needed a new female
vocalist. Believing that Morse was indeed 19, as she and her mother claimed,
Dorsey hired her. When he received a letter from the school board declaring that
he was responsible for The Morse's care, Dorsey fired her. Morse joined former
Dorsey pianist Freddie Slack's band in 1942; she was only 17 when they cut "Cow
Cow Boogie," which became Capitol Records' first gold single. The following year,
Morse began recording solo. Although her recordings were consistently solid and
sold fairly well (frequently charting better on the Black charts than on the pop
charts),
Morse never obtained a huge following. She retired from recording in 1957,
and died of respiratory failure on October 16, 1999.
