I´m afraid it´s true – her daughter Bonnie published it on her Facebook page: Bea is gone forever….

 

30s Photo. Style and class was evident in both her voice and looks. The voice was silenced forever on August 19th…

 

As you, my readers, know – I was a big fan of Bea, she was just AWEsome! I really appreciated all the nice messages coming in after I had written about Bea. I know that you all will also share the loss…

 

Bea got to turn 100 – this photo was taken by S.F. Baruch on Bea´s 99th birthday

 

With Bea´s passing, the era of the classic American pop-jazz singer is effectively over.

I can only think of one more singer who made records in the 1930s who is still around: The UK´s Vera Lynn.

 

Rest in Peace, Bea. Love, Stian
