William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American jazz and pop singer and a bandleader during the swing era. He was noted for his rich, almost operatic bass-baritone voice. The Billy Eckstine Orchestra in 1944  ncluded Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Charlie Parker, Fats Navarro, as well as vocalist Sarah Vaughan, and arranger Tadd Dameron. Culturally Eckstine was a fashion icon. He was famous for his "Mr. B. Collar"- a high roll collar that formed a "B" over a Windsor-knotted tie (or without a tie at all). The collars were worn by many a hipster in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He sings an unforgettable "God Bless the Child."

"Pops in fine form...the late, great mr. b. in his "stax" period, and (very rare: playing the guitar!)

With Ernest McCarty bass, Jose Mangual conga drum, William English drums
...from Dan Morgenstern's Grammy winning essay "Best Album Notes" 1981 for the album "Erroll Garner, Master of the Keyboard" BOMR 81-5403 
"Erroll Garner was a phenomenon. He didn’t sing, dance or tell jokes. He never said a word when he performed. All he did was play the piano. Yet he captured the hearts and minds of millions of listeners all over the world, becoming the most popular solo jazz instrumentalist of his time—a feat even more remarkable because his was a time when jazz was dwarfed in popularity by the gigantic media event called rock ‘n’ roll.
