My dear friend and great singer Ruth Olay has just died. Here’s a post I put up on my blog more than a decade ago.: wednesday, september 17, 2008
Diva Dreaming I had a dream about singer (and my good friend) Ruth Olay last night (My, my, Dr Chilledair, what a rich, full fantasy life you must lead!). This morning I phoned to tell her about it. In the dream, she had a contemporary TV show, Ruth Olay’s Living Room, but was lip sync-ing to recordings of hers from the 1950s. One of the songs she “performed” was “Sleepin’ Bee,” which she sang in toto in mon reve. But when I awakened, I realized that although it seemed like a perfect song for Ruth, she had, in fact, never recorded the Arlen and Capote classic (and never will, now, having long ago hung up her intime boite shoes). When I spoke with Ruth this a.m., I asked her why she’d never committed the song to wax. She answered that she loved the song, but just never felt it was quite right for her. “Well,” I told her, “it sounded great in the dream!” Maybe I should patch my brain into the sound card of my pc before going to bed at night. Can they do that now?
