Della Reese "Live".

Now without that elusive DeLorean ! or that dusty Carpet we are now.. I think in Europe ?..Via some contributions from Luc (Correct me if I am wrong Luc) !!!

Della Reese Live is a live album by American singer, Della Reese. It was released in August 1966 by ABC–Paramount Records and was the fourth live LP in her career. Although cut at a recording studio, the album was cut in a live format where the ensemble of musicians and Reese gathered together in one room to perform, all completed in one take. The LP was met with favorable reviews and was Reese's final album to make the US Billboard 200 chart.
 Della Reese Live. Instead of being recorded at a venue, Della Reese Live was cut at Western Recorders, a studio located in Hollywood, California. Reese and her manager/producer, Lee Magid, gathered several jazz musicians together to make the record on a Tuesday evening. According to the liner notes, the concept was to make it sound like it was being performed at a house party. The players gathered together in one room with Reese without doing any second takes. The project featured notable jazz and blues musicians such as Ray Brown, Bill Doggett and Herb Ellis.

Della Reece...The Classic Della Reese.

Classic tunes with words....just listen to appreciate the voice and arrangements !

Delloreese Patricia Early (July 6, 1931 – November 19, 2017), known professionally as Della Reese, was an American jazz and gospel singer, actress, and ordained minister whose career spanned seven decades. She began her long career as a singer, scoring a hit with her 1959 single "Don't You Know?". In the late 1960s she hosted her own talk show, Della, which ran for 197 episodes. From 1975 she also starred in films, playing opposite Redd Foxx in Harlem Nights (1989), Martin Lawrence in A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) and Elliott Gould in Expecting Mary (2010). Reese achieved continued success in the religious television drama Touched by an Angel (1994–2003), in which she played the leading role of Tess.
Reese recorded regularly throughout the 1960s, releasing singles and several albums. Two of the most significant were The Classic Della (1962) and Waltz with Me, Della (1963), which broadened her fan base internationally. She recorded several jazz-focused albums, including Della Reese Live (1966), On Strings of Blue (1967) and One of a Kind (1978). Live hit number 21 on the R&B charts. She also performed in Las Vegas for nine years.
