	Billy Eckstine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Billy Eckstine (8 July 1914 – 8 March 1993), born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as William Clarence Eckstein.
		Eckstine later formed an octet, then went solo, becoming a popular ballad singer while remaining an important figure in jazz.
		Eckstine was a style leader and noted sharp dresser.

	Biography - Billy Eckstine (Bio 695)
		Billy Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic fl male in popular music.
		The Billy Eckstine Orchestra was the first bop big-band, and its leader reflected bop innovations by stretching his vocal harmonics into his normal ballads.
		Eckstine returned to his jazz roots occasionally as well, recording with Vaughan, Count Basie, and Quincy Jones for separate LPs, and the 1960 live LP No Cover, No Minimum featured him taking a few trumpet solos as well.

		One of the most distinctive of all ballad singers, Eckstine was both a pivotal figure in the history of jazz (because of his commitment to bebop) and the first fl singer to achieve lasting success in the pop mainstream.
		However, unlike Nat ‘King’ Cole who followed him into the pop charts, Eckstine’s singing, especially his exaggerated vibrato, sounded increasingly mannered and he was unable to sustain his recording success throughout the decade.
		Eckstine later concentrated on live appearances, regularly crossing the world, and recorded only intermittently.

	African American Registry: Billy Eckstine, a voice of distinction
		Billy Eckstine grew up in Washington, D.C., where he attended Armstrong High School.
		Although his original intention was to have a band merely to back his vocals, Eckstine gathered an exciting group of young bebop musicians and thus found himself leader of what was really the first true bebop big band.
		Eckstine's commercial recordings during the life of the big band were mostly ballads that he wrapped in his deep, liquid baritone voice.

	Billy Eckstine at the Copacabana - 1951 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Billy Eckstine finished the long trail up from 52nd St. swing clubs of other years when he opened last night in the Copacabana.
		Following a recently signed 10-year recording pact with MGM plus a movie contract with the company, it was a personal triumph for the handsome singer that he embellished in every way that could be wished.
		The concluding Eckstine number is a brilliant special-material piece that embroiders the sentiment of this melting pot nation of souls with just the right touch of humor to keep it from being maudlin.

	Eckstine, Billy -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		Billy Eckstine was a superb stylist whose caressing bass baritone exuded the essence of romance in such standard ballads as ‘Everything I Have Is Yours', ‘Fools Rush In', and ‘I Apologize'.
		Nevertheless, his velvety vocals and astonishing range were often overshadowed by his band (1944–47), which was one of the most artistically...

		Billy Eckstine (1914-1993) was the quintessential bass-baritone crooner, a class act throughout his distinguished career.

		Billy Eckstine's name may have faded from the charts by the time he cut this material for the Enterprise label, a division of Stax Records, between 1971 and '74.

		Billy Eckstine defined the art of male ballad singing in jazz in the 1940s with the rich depths and soaring highs of his voice, his consummate phrasing, and his control of the subtlest pitch inflections.
		The great ballad performances here include "Moonlight in Vermont," Eckstine's pitch control glowing in the final notes, and a superb version of Erroll Garner's "Misty." A flexible small band, with pianist Bobby Tucker responsible for the arrangements and musical direction, supports Eckstine wonderfully.
		Billy Eckstine had one of the sweetest voices in jazz singing.

		Though several of Eckstine's first hits with Hines were novelties like "Jelly, Jelly" and "The Jitney Man," he also recorded several straightahead songs, including the hit "Stormy Monday." By 1943, he gained a trio of stellar bandmates -- Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan.
		He recorded more than a dozen hits during the late '40s, including "My Foolish Heart" and "I Apologize." He was also quite popular in Britain, hitting the Top Ten there twice during the '50s -- "No One But You" and "Gigi" -- as well as several duet entries with Sarah Vaughan.

		His work for Leonard's band estabilished his reputation and soon Dameron was writing charts for such bands as Jimmie Lunceford, Count Basie, Billy Eckstine and Dizzy Gillespie (1945-47) in addition to vocal charts for Sarah Vaughan.
		For example, if Billy May was the right man for really big, meaty Swinging arrangements, and if Nelson Riddle could produce both uptempo and smooth ballads, then surely Gordon Jenkins was the man for dramatic, dark and melancholy images.
		Billy was born in 1916 and began his career as a Trumpeter in the Glenn Miller orchestra.
