G SIDE RECORDS PRESENTS LARRY'S PLAYROOM LOUNGE WITH LITTLE ANN


In the early 60s Ann Bridgeforth's cousin opened a nightclub called Michelle’s Playroom where a matinee jam session was held on Sunday afternoons. Ann, then 16, was able to attend these events and soon began to sing for her own enjoyment and that of her audience. She got other singing dates with various bands in local clubs through word of mouth, and a guy named Eddie Grace, who worked on the local air force base, got her dates at the NCO club and acted as her manager/agent on a friendly basis. Though she had started out as Ann Bridgeforth, promoters misspelled her name so often that she reverted to her family’s pet-name of Little Ann, given to her not because she was short, but because she was the youngest of several Ann's in the family.

1. DEEP SHADOWS
2. WHAT SHOULD I DO
3. LEAN LANKY DADDY
