28 apr 1991 · Baritone Billy Eckstine was the first Black male romantic singer in jazz/popular music. He joined Earl Hines and his Grand Terrace Orchestra in 1939 and recorded his first hits—the novelties “Jelly Jelly” (1941) and “The Jitney Man” (1942), and the blues ballad “Stormy Monday Blues” (1942).
The band released new recordings, some featuring guest singers such as Joe Williams, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Billy Eckstine. All relied on contributions from arrangers, some of whom are now synonymous with the Basie band: Neal Hefti , Quincy Jones and Sammy Nestico .
