Sporting a resume that hearkens back to the glory days of the Chess Records empire, Sugar Pie DeSanto at 84, is still recording and occasionally performing, having outlived many of her peers. She was legendary for her incendiary stage performances. Creative A & R man for Chess, Roquel "Billy" Davis once declared, Sugar Pie could outperform Etta James, with whom The Sugar sang a handful of duets. Having written well over 100 songs, Sugar Pie has a new release on Jasman Records entitled, Sugar's Suite a 4 song EP produced by James Moore, Sr., with arrangements by three-time Emmy Producer/Arranger Bill Jolly. The creative design and packaging are skillfully augmented with images from one of Italy's top photographers, Gianni Grandi.
