Ernestine Anderson | South Seattle Emerald
Ernestine Irene Anderson is a blues and jazz singer who was born in Houston, Texas on November 11, 1928 and started singing to her parents collection of 78 rpm records when she was three years old. Her father sang in a Gospel quartet and both grandfathers also sang in choirs. Her family moved to Seattle when she was 16. She graduated from Garfield High School in 1946.
Her career spanned more than five decades, and was nominated for Grammy awards four times. She had grown up listening to the blues music of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and the jazz music of Count Basie, and her personal style encompassed all those elements. She toured with the Johnny Otis and Lionel Hampton shows. Her recordings for the American Sue label were made in 1963 when she had settled in New York.
Anderson was one of 75 women chosen for the book, “I Dream a World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America” (1999), by photographer Brian Lanker. In the book, Ernestine joined such company as Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Oprah Winfrey, Lena Horne and Sarah Vaughan.
Ernestine Anderson died in a nursing home in Shoreline, near Seattle, Washington State on 10th March 2016 of natural causes, aged 87.
The UK Sue label spells incorrectly the name of song writer Burt Bacharach (1928-2023), who co-wrote the song with Syd Shaw (died 1969) for the singer Lena Horne. The song is missing from the Wikipedia list of all his songs. Syd Shaw’s most remembered song may be “It’s My Party” for Lesley Gore. Norman Mapp (1928-1988) was a jazz vocalist, composer and orchestra leader.
“Keep an eye on love”, Sue 793, 1963.
