About Maxine Sullivan

Homestead, PA, United States
Born
May 13, 1911
Genre
Jazz
After performing in and around Pittsburgh, Maxine Sullivan relocated to New York in 1937, where she joined the Claude Thornhill band, and recorded a hugely successful version of the Scottish air "Loch Lomond." This was followed by several more jazzed-up folk songs, including "Annie Laurie," which, for all their frequent banality, she sang with effortless charm. In the late-'30s and early-'40s, Sullivan made several feature films, and also recorded with her husband, bassist John Kirby. Sullivan continued to work through the '60s, and her career blossomed as a cabaret artist in the late-'70s, thanks to performances with the World’s Greatest Jazz Band and Scott Hamilton.
