Billie Poole was a young Californian blues singer with a style derivative of Bessie Smith who first made her name in Paris. In 1962 she was offered a recording contract back in the USA. On Sermonette she is backed by an orchestra and extends her range beyond the blues idiom to include standards and romantic ballads.
