Dakota Staton (vocals); Cornell Dupree, Lloyd Davis (guitar); Eddie Daniels, Frank Wess (tenor saxophone); Pepper Adams (baritone saxophone); Joe Newman , Lew Soloff, Marvin Stamm, Burt Collins, Cecil Bridgewater (trumpet); Eddie Bert, Garnett Brown, Bill Watrous (trombone); Horace Ott (electric piano); Richard "Groove" Holmes (organ); Bernard "Pretty" Purdie (drums); Kwasi Jayourba (congas, bongos).
Dakota Staton was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 3, 1931. Although hers was not a musical family, Dakota claims to have known from early on that performing was her destiny. “When I was four years old, I started singing and dancing like Shirley Temple,” she recalled in an interview. Staton further developed these budding abilities at Pittsburgh’s Filion School of Music. “When I was sixteen, I was in a stage show called Fantastic Rhythm. From that show, I was chosen to be a vocalist with the top band in the Pittsburgh area, Joe Wespray and his orchestra. "I sang with him for two years. Then I went to Detroit, Michigan, and worked in all the show bars there…” While in Detroit, Staton made a particularly strong impression at The Flame Show Bar. From there, she followed a nightclub circuit that led as far afield as Toronto and Montreal in Canada before returning stateside and passing through Indianapolis; Minneapolis; Cleveland and St. Louis before eventually winding it’s way to New York. It was while singing in a Harlem nightclub called the Baby Grand that Staton was discovered by Capitol producer Dave Cavanaugh and signed to the label.
