Channel: ZOMBIE JOAN
Date: 2009-06-19

ZOMBIE JOAN IS  THE "LEAN BABY",  AND SUGAR DADDY  DOES SINATRA AND DIRECTS, TOO.
HE HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE POSITIONING JOAN, TO SHOW HER TRUE "LEAN-NESS". THIS IS STRICTLY A VIDEO REHEARSAL , BUT ALSO A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK.  JOAN HAD A HEADACHE, AND WAS ACTING
A BIT REMOVED THROUGHOUT, BUT ON THE 
PLAYBACKS IT TURNED OUT TO BE KINDA OFFBEAT, AND DADDY  LIKED IT .  He was just learning the lyrics. However, he mostly got through them.   ----------               April of '53, Frank Sinatra had left Columbia records, and stepped into Capitol records for 
his first song : "My Lean Baby". This song started the whole new swingin' Sinatra , and his 2'nd career. Along with the new label came Nelson Riddle and his orchestra for some great new
jazz influneced backdrops for the famous crooner. The rest is history. The legend went on and on.
   Daddy and Zombie Joan really enjoyed rehearsing the Sinatra classic, and later 
performed it it at the Gardenia Club in Hollywood.
 They both enjoyed the looseness of the rehearsal
video, so they decided to also make it the final video !
----Also recorded by Dinah Washington.
