Saturday, November 21, 2009 - Eleanor Collins
This Saturday afternoon we're celebrating the 90th birthday of Vancouver's First Lady of Jazz, Eleanor Collins. Born in Edmonton, Eleanor moved to Vancouver in 1938. Her voice was heard regularly on CBC Radio and in 1955 she became the host of the Eleanor Show on CBC Televsion - the first jazz singer and black woman to host a national TV show in Canada.
Join Paolo Pietropaolo this Saturday afternoon and meet this remarkable woman.
Hot Air begins at 5:05 Pacific, 6:05 Mountain on CBC Radio One.
