Hi! Rita DaCosta was my godmother. She was a great world reknown jazz singer. She stopped singing in her prime I'm not sure why. She performed one last time in Riverbank Park shortly before she passed. She was a wonderful woman. She was warn and glamorous. The most glamorous woman I've ever known. She was kind and maternal. She was so funny and witty. She was stunning. Im actually starting to do research on her life so if anyone can share info I'd really appreciate it.
