Mindy CARSONMaking Eyes At Mindy
Have no doubts, artists come and go, regardless of
their talent. Some are remembered better than others - Al Jolson's reputation
seems secure for the foreseeable future but Eddie Cantor, once his equal, has
simply been left behind in the remembrance stakes. It may well be that Bing
Crosby's achievements (and they were many) will be less well remembered than
Frank Sinatra's. Women performers in many ways have a tougher time of it: men
are meant to pursue careers, women's roles historically have been to support
their men and raise the family. Being forgotten (or almost) is simply an
occupational hazard, not necessarily a judgement of ability. This applies to
Mindy Carson, a singer of undeniable talent and personality but whom time has
largely brushed aside. Fortunately for us, we have a body of recordings to judge
her by, so the listener's personal opinion is all that ultimately counts.
