[78-L] Raie da Costa

[John Rogers]

Miss da Costa's solo recordings are listed in Ross Laird's Tantalising 
Tingles.  An excerpt can be obtained online from Google books.

I recall reading an article in Gramophone Magazine that was written after 
her untimely death after a tonsils(?) operation.  I suggest you browse the 
Gramophone archive for the latter half of 1934.  The author of the article 
had been critical of da Costa for recording non-classical music and clearly 
was distressed by her death shortly after the criticism.

She made one vocal recording that it listed in Rust & Forbes' British Dance 
Band discography.

Regards

John Rogers
