Be Bop Baby Sitter


Vera And The Three Jays



Be Bop Baby Sitter

El Bee 162
1957

El Bee label owned by Chicago lawyer John Burton.  Its most collectible release is El Bee 157, guitarist and singer Freddie King's debut ("Country Boy"/'That's What You Think").

Regarding the identity of Vera, I have good reason to believe she was Vera Sanford, a member of Opus De Four, quartet led by John Outterbridge until 1960 and also the same Vera Sanford who later headed the roster of talent of Earl Washington's Bombay Records in 1964.  For a comparaison of the voices, here is a song from her 1964 album:


Shangri-La
From the album “10 Minutes to Midnight” (Bombay Records)


Vera=Vera Sanford?
