Felicia Sanders (born Felice Schwartz; c. 1922 – February 7, 1975) was a singer and musician of traditional pop music. Early yearsSanders was born in Mount Vernon, New York. At the University of Southern California she studied merchandising.[1] She married Michael Snider (who was in the Army), and had a son, Jefferson, with him. They eventually divorced, both having part-time custody of their child. During World War II, with a son and a husband, she "decided to give singing a try."[1] CareerIn 1950 she returned to singing in a nightclub in Hollywood, Café Gala. She was heard there by Benny Carter, who thought enough of her talent to recommend her to Mitch Miller, Columbia Records' artist and repertory director. She was picked in 1953 by Percy Faith, Columbia's biggest orchestra leader, to sing vocals on a song he was recording, taken from the film Moulin Rouge—a biographical film about Toulouse-Lautrec. "The Song from Moulin Rouge" was recorded on January 22, 1953, as the B-side of a recording of "Swedish Rhapsody". It was Sanders' second record,[1] and it was released by Columbia with the credits shown as "Percy Faith and his Orchestra featuring Felicia Sanders." She had been paid only union scale and her name appeared below Faith's in small letters, but she had a success. The song scored #1 on all the record charts{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} and was to be her greatest success. Just before the record was released she was hired by New York's famous Blue Angel nightclub, and she played there for a long time, being the first singer to perform the song "In Other Words (Fly Me to the Moon)"{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} — although she did not record it until several other singers had done so. When she recorded "In Other Words" at Decca Recording studio, it was backed with "Summer Love" (composed by Victor Young) in 1959. During the 1960s she sang frequently at The Bon Soir cabaret on West 8th Street. In 1955, Sanders released her first Columbia album, Felicia Sanders at the Blue Angel.[2] Miller kept finding other songs to have her sing, but only one other scored among the Top 30: "Blue Star", based on the theme from a well-known television series, Medic. Personal lifeAfter her marriage to Snider, Sanders married musician Irving Joseph.[5] In the mid-1960s, they formed Special Edition Records, with the first release featuring Sanders' singing.[3] DeathFelicia Sanders died in her Manhattan home on February 7, 1975, from cancer at the age of 53.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Start |first1=Clarissa |title='Moulin Rouge' Song Success Story |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27117813/felicia_sanders/ |accessdate=12 January 2019 |work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch |date=October 26, 1953 |location=Missouri, St. Louis |page=33|via = Newspapers.com}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Felicia Sanders Wraps Up First Album with Ease |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27153219/felicia_sanders/ |accessdate=13 January 2019 |work=The Indianapolis News |date=July 7, 1955 |location=Indiana, Indianapolis |page=19|via = Newspapers.com}} 3. ^{{cite news |last1=King |first1=Doreen |title=Discs Direct From Singer to Fans |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27153632/felicia_sanders/ |accessdate=13 January 2019 |work=Honolulu Star-Bulletin |agency=WNS |date=February 6, 1966 |location=Hawaii, Honolulu |page=TV - 17|via = Newspapers.com}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |title=Singer Felicia Sanders dies; Star of 1950s |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27152930/felicia_sanders/ |accessdate=13 January 2019 |work=Chicago Tribune |agency=Associated Press |date=February 9, 1975 |location=Illinois, Chicago |page=Section 3, p 14|via = Newspapers.com}} External links
