first in what I hope will be a series featuring vocalists who performed with Duke Ellington, Today\u2019s artist is the playful and sophisticated Joya Sherrill (20 August 1924 \u2013 28 June 2010) who, by a series of happy \u201caccidents,\u201d became one of the best-remembered and most enduring of Ellington\u2019s songsters while still a teenager. For she was not only a musically- and vocally-gifted singer, she was also a lyricist and composer. She herself composed the lyrics to the Billy Strayhorn classic \u201cTake the \u2018A\u2019 Train,\u201d as well as another Ellington standard, \u201cKissing Bug,\u201d she also was the first singer to record \u201cI\u2019m Beginning to See the Light\u201d and numerous other Ellington and Strayhorn standards. Though she left the Ellington Orchestra before 1950, she continued to appear with them in various projects, including his 1957 television extravaganza <em>A Drum Is a Woman<\/em> (alongside soprano Margaret Tynes), and <em>My People<\/em>, his 1963 extravaganza commemorating the centenary of the Emancipation Proclamation. She also performed with the Benny Goodman Orchestra on their 1962 tour of Russia, and was the first African American host of a children\u2019s television program, <em>Time for Joya <\/em>(later renamed <em>Joya\u2019s Fun School<\/em>) which began in 1970 and ran in reruns until 1982 on local New York television. In this endeavor she was assisted by another powerhouse Black musician, Luther Henderson, who also arranged and conducted her altogether individual 1959 studio album, <em>Sugar and Spice<\/em>, which put a sophisticated spin on old Mother Goose rhymes. As late as 1994 she continued to perform and record the music of Duke Ellington and others. Here is an artist whose combination of \u00e9lan and exuberance is well worth rediscovering and celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"891\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Very-Young-Joya.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Very-Young-Joya.png 891w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Very-Young-Joya-291x300.png 291w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Very-Young-Joya-768x793.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Duke Ellington, Harry James, Johnny Hodges, Don George: I\u2019m Beginning to See the Light.
