It seems like Billie only made two L/p's and here is one of them....


Lucille "Billie" Poole (21 March 1929 in Edwardsville, Illinois - 21 May 2005) was an American jazz and blues singer.

Billie Poole moved to California with her family in 1943, where she founded choirs. She had performances with them in numerous concerts around San Francisco. In 1954 she went to France and acted in the German/French movie "The heroes are tired/Les héros sont fatigués". Besides she sang spirituals and Jazz. In 1959 she made recordings with Art Simmons, supported by Clark Terry, Elek Bacsik, Michel Gaudry and Kenny Clarke.
In 1962 her first album Sermonette for Riverside was published. She sang with pianist Jimmy Jones and orchestra. Her second album Confessin' the Blues (1963) featured Junior Mance, Kenny Burrell, Bob Cranshaw and Mickey Roker)....( Info Edited From Wikipedia )
