Biography

American jazz singer. Born: March 5, 1937 in Providence, Rhode Island, USA Died: January 23, 2023 in Stoneham, Massachusetts, USA Sloane started singing w. local dance band as 14-year old in 1951. After a failed marriage she returned to singing and touring in the late 50's but when that led nowhere she soon found herself working as a secretarial temp. In 1960 she was approached by [a=Jon Hendricks] and asked to sub for Annie Ross in [a=Lambert, Hendricks & Ross]. On Hendricks's suggestion she appeared on the 1961 Newport Jazz Festival and caught attention from both press and a representative of Columbia Records, leading to her record debut the same year. After two Columbia albums she then slipped into obscurity, working small clubs. In the 70's she was working as a legal secretary and didn't record until 1977. From then on she has recorded frequently for a.m.o. Prestige, Contemporary and especially the Concord label.

LYRICS

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Will carry me through
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
