Santigold - Freak Like Me
I don’t even care that Yahoo is purchasing Tumblr. I mean, as long as they don’t completely screw up the site, I’m good. Maybe they’ll fix the things that actually need fixing, like having a better mass post editor or creating a one-step way to order takeout. I just want some sesame chicken.
Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of Ella’s biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:
“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”
