Anita O'Day. Love For Sale

[@ARTECATENOR]

I met Anita back in the 70's at her husband's recording studio in Miami. Bobby Dukoff Recording. Boby was my recording teacher. He was a master !! Anita was such a sweetheart. A Lady. They had a beautiful daughter, Dee. I lesrned so much at that studio, where my recording career was launched. 🙏❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@waynebrasler]

A talent supreme. Anita, June Christy and Chris Connor were all fans of each other's music and recorded many of the same songs. The public generally lumped them together but in reality their vocal equipment, interpretative style and talents were quite different, and it was when the recorded the same songs that truth clearly emerged. All three were Midwestern girls and that showed in the personalities of all three, very wonderful ladies in every way.

[@markp5762]

I'm deep in a "rabbit hole" with Anita O'day here..

[@dpohunter]

Fantastic up-tempo arrangement on this. O'Day is not only terrific to listen to, she is also incredibly watchable.

[@DavidNursal2012]

This arrangement is a direct copy of the one by Billy Mays on the 'Swings Cole Porter' album. Not that that's a problem of course :)

[@octoberly_]

@@DavidNursal2012 I believe he arranged it for Anita

[@robertomainetti4836]

Big stage personality

[@michaelgmoore5708]

And gorgeous too!

[@robertomainetti4836]

She's in my personal jazz singers Trinity toghether with Billie and Ella❤❤❤

[@christianlacheze3323]

She does not get the recognition she deserves, she’s so incredibly good

[@stuntcat666]

Anita's version is the best of a lot of songs, just imho :) She deserves a lot more listens.

[@ocnoreen]

There are still some of us who are alive who knew her personally and dug her throughout all the ups and downs of the wonderfully hip Anita. The midwestern sound is evident in her voice, the voices of Irene Kral, June Christy, Chris Connor, etc. I am glad I had the opportunities to hear and hang out with the great jazz performers/musicians from the great era. I hope many younger folks will come to love the treasure trove of jazz and preserve it and continue creating.

[@gwenlorenz46]

Oh I envy you!!! I would LOVE to have met her. I'm sure she was a fun person to be around in addition to being an incredible talent!!

[@ocnoreen]

I met her first in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe in late 1964 at the Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino, now a Hyatt Hotel. It was a beautiful setting right on the lakeshore and Kirk Stewart was playing piano, Allen Jackson on bass and George Hughes on drums. That trio had just finished working with Sass and were on their way to various destinations. There was Anita and John Poole. I saw and hung with her many times after that. She was so hip and kind to me, a younger singer. I also saw Allen Jackson many times in Los Angeles in later years after I moved there. He was a busy bassist as well. I booked entertainment for a Studio City jazz club and Anita was one of the people hired there as well as Helen Merrill, Lorez Alexandria and other great singers and musicians. Benny Golson with Roy McCurdy were regulars as were Victor Feldman, Monty Budwig, Jimmy Rowles, Donald Bailey, Colin Bailey and others. It was a great gig. i even talked Dexter Gordon into playing a night there. I knew and worked with Dex in Europe and he played at the club in Studio City. It was a great time. Blue Mitchell as well as Warne Marsh and Buddy Collette played in that club as well.

[@ocnoreen]

Forgot to say the great Irene Kral also worked at the club and she was one of my faves.

[@genecorrado]

I wonder if you read her book HIGH TIMES HARD TIMES. Makes me wonder if I wanted to really hang out with her. The music is her legacy and its a great one but she had a rough ride.

[@Anonymous-md4ec]

Gene Corrado I knew her story because she was a friend. That friendship does not mean I had to share the drug addiction but could appreciate her musical insight and enjoyed hanging with her. She was a great singer in the jazz genre. I had many friends who were former junkies and who were wonderful artists. Whatever their pain was, the drugs likely were self-medication. Alcohol served that purpose for others. She was a joy to listen to musically speaking.

[@gregger59]

In addition to the great interpretation of the notes, I love the way she uses her voice as a rythmic instrument. What syncopation.

[@robertomainetti4836]

She had the same drummer for many years

[@luisraluisra]

A great musical arrangement and direction, the orchestra with a great sound and interpretation.

[@SpelllMe]

Wow. What an amazing performance. Anita was certainly wonderful when she was young, but by this point in her career, she'd become INCREDIBLE.

[@paulpeterson4320]

Anita owns this one. No one else compares on this one. Love you Anita 💚

[@pascalaverty8810]

Quel artiste orchestre exceptionnel

[@blondthought5175]

I do love her interpretation of this fabulous song, especially the sublime mid-section. Not to mention the fact that she knew how to move to a song. Who has ever mastered the fine art of restrained movement better than Miss O'Day?

[@davidmehnert6206]

Blond Thought also she has the quirkiest facial expressions, and makes such good use of them (I think)... another kind of performer might have tried to homogenize their (inadvertent) asides, but she lets it all show, and its the power of strong enchantment

[@mwp62]

Anita's performance here is my favorite intrepretation of "Love For Sale".

[@anamariagutierrez2019]

Besides her beautiful voice Anita O'Day strikes me as a very fun person:)

[@DimbleWally]

She is one of the Best Jazz Icons in History... What a cool Cat!!!

[@eamestv]

One of my great joys was sitting with this legend in conversation. I loved her music. Listen to Anita @ Mr. Kellys.

[@luisraluisra]

Truly a Top notch orchestra

[@ChuckPeart-ef6ef]

Sweet Georgia Brown at the Newport Jazz fest was awesome.

[@cleycormack1165]

A voz branca do Soul/Jazz, aqui cantando Cole Porter. Escocesa de origem, cedo chegou aos U.S.A. e veio na leva das grandes cantoras. Deu uma "derrapada " nas drogas e sua carreira "andou de lado ", mas se livrou e voltou com tudo , cantando muito bem. Nasceu em 1919 e faleceu em 2006. Grande dama. que esteja na LUZ e em PAZ. Cley Cormack.- Rio de Janeiro,24/01/2014. OBS.= powenmoore, grato pela postagem do video.

[@tenthgate8090]

Can watch this gal sing jazz all day long!

[@carlkamuti]

I love watching the conductor during this amazing song

[@paulmurphy9909]

Snap again!! Im not even that into jazz but the show I watched about her was awsum.how she times and interprets a song is as good as any female vocalist I have ever heard!

[@donkotouc8377]

An iconic jazz vocalist...

[@howardturner2905]

I am discover Ms. O'days' s music and loving it. She was so cool.

[@peterberendonk5610]

my favorite interpretation from that song

[@jeffg1524]

Fantastic! Great singing, great band, great video quality. What more can one ask for? ♫♥♫

[@Neuiko]

Favourite instrumental version, and vocals are perfect

[@JoeL-kn9tc]

That is a great one. Turn up the volume. She is amazing.

[@maryevans2470]

Anita O'Day and Billie present the best interpretations of this song, Period!

[@richie7201]

I love this woman!

[@sirhorsechoker]

Best voice for this song ❤❤❤

[@robertomainetti4836]

Cole Porter songbook!!!

[@anitastrange7964]

She blows me away!

[@caliden3785]

my mom who past last summer loved this music and can her playing it on our record player plus TV wooden box. and having cocktail parties with the neighbors.

[@atomcraft]

That is sick! Way too cool for school.

[@Khamomil]

What class. There are not so many white women jazz singers, they deserve to be heard.

[@stynway59]

This sounds like the Billy May arrangement on Anita's album of Cole Porter a few years earlier. The Tokyo band takes it a tad slower, but as always, Miss O'Day never sings it the same way twice.

[@highgradeOG]

pure class

[@pocketjeffs]

i stumbled across the documentary about her about an hour ago and already im obsessed. she's awesome...hopefull there are some torrents. otherwise ill hav to buy a record player

[@SidLaw500]

Best performance I've seen/heard of this song so far!

[@Laurenzatto54]

Ella and Billie are by far above

[@AliLevymusic]

those dance moves!

[@jean-louissimon3952]

Excellente diva !! Trop méconnue

[@funnyvalentine78]

...senza parole... meravigliosa!!!

[@ocnoreen]

Loved Anita!

[@MrTrackman100]

Anita #1. (Interesting lyrics!!)

[@bellavia5]

the guyz did a real good job covering these numbers. go figure.

[@darvisthebronzewarriordavi9477]

Beautiful

[@Johnnycdrums]

I think I like this even better than the Billy May arrangement, although the audio is only a fair recording.

[@orbrozing]

She was high as a kite on smack but so what? She nailed it.

[@henrirousseau9541]

Her most flattering hairdo.

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

Amazing singer.

[@kimnichols129]

I love Seal's version best and I've been listening to many versions.

[@jamesnicol3831]

the definitive jazz singer black , white or anything else

[@jackd8602]

The Gold Standard

[@jackd8602]

Still a Classics

[@powenmoore]

Just about everything she recorded is available digitally from iTunes or Amazon, so no you don't need to go vinyl. There are hundreds of redundant bootleg reissues out there, so be cautious before you buy. Her classic recordings were for Verve Records in 1954-62, and these were collected in a box set by Mosaic. I have seen the same tracks in a free torrent and in a cheap, legal bootleg. Happy hunting!

[@syciuplyte8494]

Masterful

[@atomcraft]

Damn! That's good!

[@richardbraithwaite9653]

Anita O'Day ....without...doubt the greatest jazz singer / white or/ black... of the century ..!!! she was a student of black music ...she made A great choice.....!!!

[@davidbento9459]

She had her own unique style like none other! That is what it is all about, creating style that people copy rather then copying someone,, That's jazz.. I know this is old post, but I am on and Anita O'Day binge now!

[@waitaminute7257]

I'm buying 👍

[@Johnnycdrums]

I think this was written by one of Duke Ellington's sidemen, if I remember correctly,.

[@nancyeckroad-haney7309]

Cole Porter

[@Janster59]

I Totally Agree!

[@伊藤軍治-c6j]

バックの日本の楽団も凄いよ！楽譜は世界共通といえどもね、このころから日本は先進国ですか、すっげーな！

[@waitaminute7257]

I agree! That band is amazingly good!!

[@vulsinias]

Sencillamente fantástica!

[@pernekef]

ENAMORADO

[@vettefool]

@powenmoore Yes I'm not too proud to say I'm more than smitten. I'm in love with a ghost. she's great..

[@DavidNursal2012]

The only problem with these otherwise excellent clips from Tokyo is the complete lack of audience reaction or atmosphere. Were they stunned into silence or (more likely) were these performances just for the camera?

[@powenmoore]

If you go to FaceBook and tell it you "like" Anita O'Day, you will probably find links to some albums I posted, pix of her. Yeah, I'm smitten.

[@LEauReine]

Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale Love that's fresh and still unspoiled Love that's only slightly soiled Love for sale Who will buy Who would like to sample my supply Who's prepared to pay the price For a trip to paradise Love for sale Let the poets pipe of love In their childish way I know every type of love Better far than they If you want the thrill of love I've been through the mill of love Old love, new love Every love but true Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares Follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale Let the poets pipe of love In their childish way I know every type of love Better far than they If you want the thrill of love I've been through the mill of love Old love, new love Every love but true Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares Follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale Love for sale Love for sale

[@packman5906]

I swear she looks like Miley Cyrus

[@waitaminute7257]

That's crazy I thought the same thing and Miley even has a similar sounding voice.

[@christianlacheze3323]

Are you comparing Miley Cyrus to her?😂😂😂😂

[@RighteousWilly]

This chic is so bad, she makes it look easy.

[@sav7568]

The tempo is too hopped up and that ruins the song. She is usually better than that. Have a listen to Shirley Horn or KD Lang's version.

[@gregpiazza7150]

No, have a listen to Bobby Darin s version.

[@sav7568]

@@gregpiazza7150 Darin's version is the worst of the lot. Yuk. With typical early 60s swing tempo it totally misses the purpose of the song.

I think she knew this tune was about whores...

[@SandfordSmythe]

You think?

[@misscharlaatte]

Trololololololololol

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Anita O'Day was a fantastic singer...but here is modern day upbeat instrumental: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5aceoBpaqujptE

[@wmpetroff2307]

She has weird mouth formations. I don't like it.

[@heartandtroll9993]

Sorry, but, musically, this was just painful to listen to. The timing was all off. It sounds like she can't find the beat.

[@gwenlorenz46]

???????

[@Johnnycdrums]

Anita had great timing.

[@stynway59]

She made the beat her own. She stretches it, compresses it, always delivering the message. Her first serious relationship was with a drummer, she learned drums, it's instinctive. Its jazz
