RIP Sugar Pie DeSanto
I'm a little late to the memorial, time having been consumed by holiday travel, and then news of wildfires sweeping areas I just returned from, but just saw notice that at the end of the past year, we lost #SugarPieDeSanto
I was lucky I had the fortunate opportunity to see her perform memorable sets live a couple times earlier in this century in #SanFrancisco , and despite her age, she was still feisty, acrobatically bawdy & hilarious.
A relative of fellow #ChessRecords recording artist Etta James, and part Filipino (born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton ) ... , she was perhaps less renowned, but certainly worth checking out for any fans of authentic old school #RhythmandBlues music.
"I was one of the toughest women you would find, and a big mouth, and I didn’t take anything from no one,” she said in an interview in the 2011 book “Flying Saucers Rock ’n’ Roll: Conversations With Unjustly Obscure Rock ’n’ Soul Eccentrics”
I recall in more recent times, her being burned out in a 2006 fire that swept the apt building where she lived in #Oakland, and killed her husband.
But she was a tough cookie and soldiered on for many more years ...stay safe out there folks...
