Tony DiPardo, 1912-2011


Longtime bandleader and Kansas City icon Tony DiPardo died yesterday. He was 98. One of DiPardo's few recordings is this unfortunate collaboration with Marilyn Maye. "A Chief is the bravest of all!"

Nothing wrong with this collaboration whatsoever.
Marilyn sings great and in tune as she always does. The Band is tight. The arrangement is harmonically astute. The mix is excellent. What is your complaint?

Reading the linked obit, Mr. DiPardo sounds like he was quite a character, and one who was fortunate to live a long and interesting life doing things he enjoyed. We should all be so lucky!

The recording by TD and MM is a little cheesy I guess. No different than the Peoples Liberation band.It's all good.
