Anita Kerr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anita Kerr (born Anita Jean Grilli on October 31, 1927, in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American singer, composer and music producer.
Kerr's career peak was during the 1960s, a time when women in her field were rare.[citation needed] Among her works were jingles for WLS-AM in Chicago[citation needed], a trilogy of albums with poet Rod McKuen, titled The Sea, The Earth, and The Sky (each featuring the San Sebastian Strings), and choral music for the first season of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (directing her own group, The Anita Kerr Singers)[citation needed].
The Anita Kerr Singers also sang backup for some of Roy Orbison's biggest hits in the early 1960s, when he was recording for Monument Records in Nashville.
