Anyone Else Love Jazz Singer, Cleo Laine? "Control Yourself".

Mom had this album back in the seventies and we'd both sing along with it. I also loved Cleo on "The Muppets". Talent, beauty and class. Bitches, take note.

Control yourself, contain yourself Restrict yourself, restrain yourself And always let tranquility be your goal Control yourself, contain yourself And if you can't, explain yourself And try to act agreeably on the whole Life is far too short to spend it in a huff Try to be the sort of guy who laughs When things get rough

Never heard of her but she's great. Pretty. Her caftans flutter nicely in the breeze because you've got to air that out from time to time.

listening to cleo laine tonight / surprised this thread didn't get any traction back in May

over half of Cleo's RCA output appears to be unavailable to stream on the major platforms....her Carnegie Hall albums, etc

youtube is really a hodge podge of stuff.

another reason to hang on to all those records tapes and cds....

Somebody gave me one of her records, once. I played it a few times but she really was not my style.

She was at every expensive hotel bar in SF in the 1980s. Never saw her, don't know anyone who did. Seeing her music here, I now know that I missed nothing.
