| Abstract |
Singer Everett Francis Greene, Sr. was born on February 16, 1934 in Washington, D.C. It was not until after his retirement in 1982 that Greene focused on his professional music career. A bass singer, Greene trained to sing at a higher range. He went to Chicago, Illinois to sing in musicals and recorded his debut album, At Last, in 1994, followed by his release of My Foolish Heart in 1998, and I've Got Love in 2002. Greene co-starred with folk singer Odetta and Broadway star Jean DuShon in an extended run of The Little Dreamer: A Night in the Life of Bessie Smith at the Ivanhoe Theater in Chicago. He also played the role of Joe in Showboat. Greene received a local Chicago Emmy Award for the nationally-televised special, Precious Memories: Strolling 47th Street. Greene toured the United States, Japan and Canada with the musical revue In the House of the Blues. |
