Byrdie Green ‎• The Golden Thrush Strikes At Midnight



Byrdie Green (1936 - 2008) was a jazz and R&B singer born in Detroit, Michigan.

The daughter of a Baptist minister, she sang first in her father's church. Later she went to New York and performed in clubs. Around 1965, she was hired by organist Johnny "Hammond" Smith and recorded albums for Prestige Records, Roulette Records, & Twentieth Century Fox. She also cut a few 45rpm records.

Byrdie took a break from her career to raise her two daughters, Deborah A. Murray and Dardenella Braxton. Upon her return she performed at Carnegie Recital Hall, toured with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and before her death in February 2008, she was with the touring company of the Broadway play Black and Blue. Byrdie's health started to fade and she developed emphysema and was on oxygen 24 hours a day, and had to use a wheelchair.
Green died at St. Luke's Hospital on April 26, 2008, and was eulogized at Mt. Neboh Church in New York City on May 3, 2008.

Byrdie Green (1936 - 2008) fue una cantante de jazz y R&B nacida en Detroit, Michigan.

Hija de un ministro bautista, cantó primero en la iglesia de su padre. Más tarde se fue a Nueva York y actuó en clubes. Alrededor de 1965, fue contratada por el organista Johnny "Hammond" Smith y grabó discos para Prestige Records, Roulette Records y Twentieth Century Fox. También grabó algunos discos de 45rpm.
