Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Hi there, i have a favourite search on Ebay for Chris Calloway, as i'm trying to get hold of her single You're Something Else on Cub, and the search threw up a live album. The description states that she is (if it's the same singer)? actually the daughter of the famous jazz/scat singer Cab Calloway (the one that featured in the excellent Blues Brothers film). Anyone know of any other singers with famous relations? cheers, Carl
