August 28 - Nancy Holloway Died

Jazz singer Nancy Holloway died in France at the age of 86. 

The archetypal American in Paris, Nancy arrived from Cleveland via New York as a nightclub dancer in the 1950s. She began singing ye-ye when the action was slow. 
During Elvis' overseas army duties, he found some time to leave Germany and have a little off-duty fun. On June 14, 1959 he traveled to Paris and caught Italian entertainer Torrebruno, U.S. singer Nancy Holloway and others at the Moulin Rouge nightclub.
