(Only half a cup?  I thought you LIKED my coffee!)

It's amazing what I find every time I look through my record
collection (I have over 2000 albums).  The other day, in response to
another article, I said I had recorded versions of the song "Black
Coffee" sung by Julie London, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan.  I
thought I did, off the top of my head.  Guess what?  I don't have ANY
of those!

The version by Sarah Vaughan is on a record she did for Columbia in
the 50's.  It has a grey cover, but I forget the name.  I don't seem
to have this album.

I know I've heard Billie sing it, but I don't have it on any of the
eight VERVE albums and a few Commedore, Decca and Columbia albums of
hers I have.

I have ten Julie London albums, but it's not on any of them.

I have Rosemary Clooney singing it on her Reprise album "Thanks for
Nothing," recorded in the early 60s. It's been reissued in Japan,
though it's hard to get here.

I have Anita O'Day singing it on her album "Angel Eyes" recorded
direct-to-disc in Tokyo in 1978 on Lobster Records.  It has been
reissued in the USA on Anita's EMILY records, under the same title.

I also have Peggy Lee singing it on a double album simply entitled
"The Best of Peggy Lee."

I didn't check all my records, so I may have more versions of it.  At
any rate, to the person who originally was looking for more versions
of this song, I hope this helps some.
