Glad you enjoyed it! She did in fact record at least one jazz album - Livin' with the Blues - which featured the great Earl Hines and Benny Carter. It was an enjoyable record, though maybe not among her very best work. She was more suited to singing folk/blues material in my opinion. Here is another great song from her record with The Chambers Brothers:
You can listen to all of Livin' with the Blues here:
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
