In 1958, my manager heard Benny Goodman was looking for a vocalist for a European tour, so I auditioned for him. I accompanied myself on piano and sang Ill Take Romance. Benny Goodman sat in his chair, listened, and smiled, as if to say, Dont call me. Ill call you. A few weeks later, he called, and I got the job. No one was more surprised than me. - ETHEL ENNISIn 1958, my manager heard Benny Goodman was looking for a vocalist for a European tour, so I auditioned for him.
