In 1987 local jazz diva Shirley Tennyson-McFatter was asked by John Briggs to star in the first major production of this one woman show created by Lanie Robertson. The show ran for several weeks at the West End Cabaret, to rousing reviews. I have owned the original film of this production since 1994, given to me by the producers. This film has and never will be used to accrue any monetary benefit to me or my estate in any way, and is being shown in memoriam of my late wife who transcended on March 31, 1994. Shirley was never well known to the world - although within Texas and especially the Dallas/Fort Worth area she was considered 'Queen of Jazz' - due to her own choices about her career, so I offer this to those who knew her work then, and hope many new viewers will enjoy and appreciate her work. To learn more and hear more of her please see all the other audio postings on my channel in her honor. Specifically you will enjoy the live interview video. Her Spirit continues to motivate me to 'pay forward' after 20 years. She was truly a force of nature for Jazz, America's original classical musical form. Enjoy!
