[78-L] Margaret Whiting RIP

[Taylor Bowie]

She loved her dad's tunes,  especially My Ideal...but I recall when I saw 
her live in Seattle in the mid-80s and she did wonders with "Breezin' Along 
With The Breeze."

I don't think many collectors know that old-time vaudeville singer  Margaret 
Young was her aunt,  after whom she was named.  What is strange is that they 
were the two singers I first discovered on my own when I started collecting 
78s.
