When not singing, she was so very shy - another measure of her greatness.

You're so right. Her modesty and shyness just made her more endearing. She and Doris Day are my two favorite singers.

One thing that’s not being talked about in this clip: after naming every prestigious night club and hotel that offered performances in New York City it was established that she played at none of them although she was one of the biggest recording stars in the world… no matter how much fame or renown, black stars were not allowed to play in the Copacabana, the plaza or any of the other so-called high-end establishments that were mentioned in this clip. Just another reminder of a shameful period in our history.

There is a point of reality here you don't know. Basin Street East was diagonally across the street from the Waldorf Astoria and was frequented by not only New York elite but an international crowd because it was an 8 minute walk from the UN Condo plaza directly lined up on 49th st. Not to deny your input but to make it clear not every place in New York had issues. Especially the high end clubs. That was Vegas that had that issue.

I just watched some of another “What’s My Line” from 1959. The celebrity contestant was Johnny Mathis, who was currently appearing at the Copacabana. Evidently the entertainment there was not limited to white performers.

This was not true in 1962. She just happened to be appearing at Basin Street East which was a prestigious night club at the time. According to what I Read, it was very true when the Copacabana opened in 1940, not allowing African Americans to enter the club, much less headline the club. That changed in the 50's Both. Nat King Cole and Sam Cook appeared at the Copacabana in 1958, and many other artists such as Harry Bellefonte, Sammy Davis, Johnny Mathis started appearing there. Eartha Kitt appeared regularly at the Persian Room starting in 1961. ON April 11, 1955, Doroty Dandridge became the 1st African American artist to appear at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Having watched a few of her interviews and having been a long time fan of her music, I would have liked to go out on a date with her to get to know the real woman behind the music. I bet she was a sweet lady in person.
