The Incredible Dorothy Donegan - 1996 

Your a lucky man 😮😮😮😮😮

@@SmoothCriminaltripleOG What an amazing personality Dorothy had.

@@eugeneweston3891 I’ve just stumbled across her videos and I have to say she’s is amazing. You can see how she plays that she has a huge personality and what a voice too, she’s the real deal. Truly a talent that should be remembered and cherished. The first time I saw her was on a show where she did a billy holiday impression, omg I was floored by this woman’s voice let alone her talent on the piano. 👍👍

@@SmoothCriminaltripleOG An amazing talent and genuinely an under-appreciated American musical treasure

Every now and then , someone turns up who transcends the limitations . She is one of them. But she worked for it. Inborn talent takes you only so far.❤👏🙌🌹j.

robert robinson You are correct!

Because we accept this garbage as good music. Hell, not even "good" music! Duke Ellington used to say that there are only 2 types of music, good and bad. It seems we've gotten away from that philosophy. Unfortunately.

Leonard Poopsie I hope I've misunderstood you. Are you really describing Dorothy Donegan's playing here as "this garbage"???!!!

I can see that I need to clarify my statement. Ms. Donegan would classify as the "good" type of Music.

A'Doris A We have lost many stars, but there are new ones! Diana Krall, Jamie Cullum, Joey Alexander and also in the field of Boogie/Blues there are many top Pianists;)

Here is the translation from Google (I was curious too. It's in Russian) Divine Dorothy. One and only in the heights of jazz's glory days. The pleasure to serve her Live performances with nothing can be compared.....and the communication with the audience is not to be imitated..

Hazel Scott was fabulous, but no need to compare. They are both jazz masters.

kinda'. i think she was more versatile in style. however, oscar might have her beat with his riffs

@@divingchicago I was lucky enough to see her twice, she was every bit the musician O.P. was and would have matched him in technique. The problem with Dorothy as she was a woman in a male-dominated jazz world. So in order to make a living, she also resorted to clowning and became at times more entertainer than complete jazz pianist.
