Lillian Briggs - I Want You to Be My Baby download song

Also recorded live by Mike Pedicin in october, 1955.

Rap God in the 50s

I do recall when this was a hit record.

Great record by the Queen of Rock and Roll.

I think Georgia Gibb's version is a bit more balanced. This frantic musical arrangement subsumes the vocals.

From a time when it probably wasn't acceptable/fashionable to be a female rock n roll singer,shame because their were some truly great female rocking singers from that time, Lillian was a truly unappreciated rocker who should have been far better known.

Lillian Briggs was a close friend of Lucille Ball. I saw and heard Ella Fitzgerald sing the song in a "Jazz at the Philharmonic" tour and she reveled in it.

A great rocking version from 1955, sure. They say Miss Briggs was also great at blowing anything with a tube.

Came her from seeing her on "What's My Line?" where she appeared as Arlene Francis' trombone teacher. She's FANTASTIC! She should've been huge! That's the fickle music market for you...

9 thumbs down? Who dislikes this???

I found the 78 RPM record yesterday at a local junkshop. They had a small box with some early jazz and vocal stuff mostly in near new condition at €1 each. I took 12 of them including this one. Spunds great!!!

Hard to believe she's my great aunt! My uncle's first wife

Good job. Lillian the true Queen of Rock and Roll. I wish that CD.

I never heard of this lady till I stumbled upon her image on Google.... it’s unusual to see a lady playing a trombone so it peaked my interest ... I have to tell you... I’m a new fan! I was surprised to see that she sings and plays too... really awesome sound .... I wonder why she’s not as well known as say, Little Richard or Elvis or Pattie Page. Certainly a very big big talent.

I stumbled upon this and couldn't be more thrilled. Thank you so much for sharing her talent with us. She was certainly a talent to be reckoned with.

10 don’t like that-ah well they don’t have ears
