I am nearly a week late posting about the death of Kitty Kallen, who passed away on Thursday, January 7, 2016. She sang with some of the biggest names of the Swing Era, including Artie Shaw, Jimmy Dorsey and Harry James; and scored number one hits with "Besame Mucho," "I'm Beginning to See the Light" and "It's Been a Long, Long, Time." After WWII, she successfully made the transition from Swing and Big Band to the post war pop music era, and recorded a number of other hits.
I'll be doing a tribute to Kitty tonight on the SSS, featuring many of her best known Swing Era favorites.
