Her godmother was Billie Holliday


Her father was jazz writer Leonard Feather and her mother Jane was a Big Band singer. It was no surprise she became a jazz singer. She should be a better known singer. "You're Outta Here" from her New York City Drag album.

This 2009 film was based on Fats Waller's stride classic "The Minor Drag." It was directed by New York animator George Griffin, produced by jazz singer/lyricist (and 2011 Grammy nominee) Lorraine Feather. The short was accepted to 37 festivals worldwide and won several awards, including Best Music Video at the South Beach International Animation Festival.
