Subscribe to theNellie Lutcher’s Real Gone Rhythm
Original Airdate: June 16th, 2007
This week on Night Lights we pay tribute to the pianist and singer who passed away this past week at the age of 94. In the late 1940s Lutcher scored a series of hits such as “Hurry On Down” and “Fine Brown Frame” that blended jazz, pop, blues and R & B in a way that made her one of the era’s first crossover stars. We’ll hear those songs and some of Lutcher’s later recordings as well, including a duet with Nat King Cole.
