Down by the Riverside Patterson Ottilie 1962
Ottilie Patterson in the fifties and sixties was the vocalist of the Chris Barber Band. Ottilie was a school teacher but loved her early jazz and wanted to sing like Bessie Smith and other famous jazz singers from that generation. Chis Barber featured her in his programs and she became very popular. Chris and she became involved and she actually became Mrs Chris Barber.
I don't think there are many films of her singing with the band. This is a clip from this 1962 movie about British traditional jazz. Ottilie sings " Down by the Riverside"
