I had both the privilege and pleasure to have known them from our years together at Jilly's in NYC and the many trips to AC with their friends and family to see Sinatra. Joe and Lily were simply the most generous people and their spirit was amazing. They enjoyed the intimate moments with family and friends the most. May their wonderful memories live on forever ...

I was 23 I think at the time, 60 minutes in the studio, made 10 copies, sold none, gave away 5. How you found one is beyond me...Enjoy lol. What an honor to be on the Unpleasant website...

She and her husband Joe Barone continued to perform music together up until the 1980's in and around the New York and New Jersey area. This LP, Live at Jupiter's, is apparently her last recording.

This afternoon(February 17, 2008) our Sunday music group has been learning this song, because it seems to be one on the endangered specis list.

Lilyann originally started out as the very first vocalist with Louis Prima's Orchestra back in 1940. (Her best known recording with him was "I'll Walk Alone" in 1944) She left Prima's band in 1946 for a solo music career and was replaced by vocalists named Cathy Allen, Florida Keyes and in 1948 by Keely Smith. Lilyann later formed a successful nightclub combo with her husband, saxophonist Joe Barone, who is heard on the "Live At Jupiter's" LP. To hear Lilyann's low pitched, near perfect impression of Louie Prima's vocal style on "Old Black Magic" is priceless, and, considering she worked with him for nearly 7 years in the 1940's, she certainly captures his style! Her "tribute" version is a laugh riot, and to me one of the LP's highlights. Note that she also performs an updated arrangement of her most well known hit, "I'll Walk Alone". I've been researching her life story and wonder whatever became of her after this LP. (She was born Lillian Kaufman in Brooklyn in 1922) Regards, Lou Re: Lilyann Carol & Joe Barone Sing for their Friends “Old Black Magic”
