I Can't Spell Marguerite

One of the albums I shared with you yesterday featured a track by Marguerite Piazza, a name that sounded familiar yet I didn't know much about her. An internet search tells me she was an opera singer from New Orleans who later sought her fame in NYC, reaching a national audience with Sid Caeser on Your Show Of Shows in the Fifties. Not sure how I knew the name as this was way before my time, but sometimes weird things pop out of my head. I was a little surprised to find her recording Christmas music for a budget label in the mid Seventies, but here's the proof. This is Marguerite Piazza-Christmas With Love (Classic Christmas CCR-1933, Stereo, 1977). I can't tell you how many ways I have messed up the spelling of her name in this post and in the tagging of the tracks. I still won't guarantee that it's correct, but maybe it's close.
