Carol Ventura...Carol.

Number Two Of The Forgotten Lady Singers !

Not very much info on this singer which is a pity...I would have liked to hear more of her !
Another great forgotten voice that needs to be heard !!

This Newark-born lady replaced Keely Smith in Louis Prima's orchestra (after Keely left the picture, of course). She came from a musical family. Her father was a vaudeville performer, her mother a singer, her brother a drummer. Carol did her singing apprenticeship by working with a few bands, including Charlie Spivak's. Traveled across the country, and to Europe.Carol recorded the odd single here and there, for a few labels, including Capitol. As far as albums go, she made only two, both of them released on Prestige Records.
Carol's music career never took off beyond these 1960s albums. The liner notes indicate that she was studying acting and dancing, with a view to becoming a Broadway stage performer. Those dreams do not seem to have been realized, either.If word of mouth is true, this New Jersey native wounded up living in the streets, due to mental illness. She allegedly needed to be medicated, and would take to a homeless life on those occasions in which she stopped using medication. She is said to have passed away at a senior home in 2010.....
