Obituary
LOS ANGELES (AP) - British-born big band singer Beryl Davis, who made her U.S. debut on Bob Hope's radio show and later performed with Frank Sinatra and Benny Goodman, has died in Los Angeles at 87.
Family spokesman Greg Purdy tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/tPoXzm ) she died Friday of complications from Alzheimer's disease.
She was daughter of British band leader Harry Davis.
During World War II, she sang with Stephane Grappelli and pianist George Shearing in a group that performed in London clubs throughout the Blitz. She sang with Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band near the end of the war.
After Hope's radio show, Beryl Davis appeared with Sinatra on the "Your Hit Parade" radio show.
In the 1950s, she formed a vocal quartet with Jane Russell, Connie Haines and Della Russell.

Was priviledged to meet her in Yokohama late 1960s. I was PR for a Navy club where she performed with Jane Russell, and one other. A charming, kind woman and a pro musician. Brian McCarthy, [email protected]

No mention of her singing with the Geraldo Orchestra which surprises me as she was a regular and where I feel she first came into prominance.

We met Beryl and her sister Lisa on a cruise on Crystal Symphony. She sang with the Glenn Miller band onboard and the two gals were just marvelous telling their stories andvisiting with all of us. Still have the CD she signed for us. It will always be special and we wish her family peace and comfort in wonderful memories of a fantastic lady.

Sad when people who sang and played the music I loved are going away so fast.
I shall continue listening to her music while she sings with the angels.

Our deepest comdolences to "The Davis Family" and your family are certainly in God's thoughts. He eager to heal the pain of losing a loved one.Psalms 147:3-" Our loving God is healing the broken hearted ones, and binding up their painful spots."

My heart goes out to you all at this time of great sorrow. May you be comforted by the scriptural thought found at Psalms 121. There you will find assurance of God's love and support during these difficult days.
