Bu Pleasant ‎– Ms. Bu 1974 (Muse Records)

Label : Muse Records

Value :

Florence Pleasant was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on July 22, 1933. She and her brother had innate musical talent. Their father owned a dance hall, and their mother was a singer. Ms. Pleasant played piano and violin through high school. She gave up her scholarship to Xavier College in New Orleans after two years because of a burning desire to play bebop music.

Ms. Pleasant played with Arnett Cobb and His Mobb in San Antonio and joined him later in Chicago for two or three years of playing theater circuits, which culminated in appearances at the Apollo Theater and the Birdland Ballroom in New York City.  After teaching herself to play the organ, she finally embarked upon her own personal career as a performer. She left New York City in 1978 due to a relative’s illness, but thereafter performed on the West Coast.
