I became hooked on music shortly after WWII and there have been quite a few greats who were relatively little known and yes, Della was one of them. So was Jaye P Morgan and Eartha Kitt. Even more so was Big Maybelle. But none were ever really 'underrated' by any who heard them.

I wonder if you were alive when President Eisenhower sent the paratroopers to Arkansas, to stop the harassment of the nine children, so they could go to school. That was in the 1950’s.

This was the closing number on Della's awesome 1960 RCA album titled "Della". I should know as I probably wore out two vinyl copies of this top favorite album! This last number on the original vinyl release really leaves you in a great mood as the whole album literately puts you into orbit by the time this number closes out the recording! Even though she is a Reverend now and is doing fine work close to her heart , I'd bet money that even in her Eighties she is still a 101% fine singer who I still wish would revisit some of this kind of music on a new recording for us fans at least one last time!
