Al Hibbler (Part 2), Undated
Scope and Contents
Hibbler talks about his biggest hit songs such as “Unchained Melody” and “11th Hour” and his time spent with Duke Ellington. He discusses recording for Frank Sinatra’s label, Reprise, and he praises Sinatra for his artistic freedom. He feels that the current crop of singers can’t sing blues like the older generation, with the exception of Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington and Kay Starr.
