During WHFR PRESENTS this Sunday, March 2nd, from 4:00 – 7:00pm, Terence Tyson of The Play It By Ear Jazz Show will feature the vocalist Cleo Laine as part of Women’s History Month.
She was born Clementine Dinah Hitching on October 28, 1927, in a town near London, England. She was the child of an English mother and a Jamaican father.
Laine auditioned successfully at the age of 24 for John Dankworth's small group, the Johnny Dankworth Seven. She later married him in 1958 and they stayed together until his death in 2010.
