Described by Life Magazine in 1957 as "The best singer on the nightclub circuit" and called by Miles Davis "the brunette Marilyn Monroe," Sallie Blair (1934-1992) had a brief moment of glory in the spotlight, recording only two full albums and a few singles before fading into obscurity. On Squeeze Me, her best album, she is surrounded by Milt Hinton, Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria, Bernie Glow, Urbie Green, and Sal Salvador.
