yeah, you came a long way from there, but i did, too...



you wanna be blown away?











della reese - you came a long way from st. louis (1962)




della reese came right out of the motor city of the 1930s. maybe that's where the steam comes from that you feel while listening to ms. reese and her orchestra. black bottom, detroit. her father a steel worker, her mother a cook of cherokee descendence.
