On the Beat: David Menconi on music

News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

Nnenna Freelon: Going mad

Bookmark and Share

Word is that Nnenna Freelon will be in a choice televised position Sunday night -- on the soundtrack to the show "Mad Men." The Durham jazz singer's recording of the standard "A Prelude to a Kiss" will reportedly play over the closing credits of this week's show. As she says, "No on-screen moment but who knows, maybe in the future."

That's 10 p.m. Sunday on AMC.

I knew it!

I knew I heard Nnenna's unmistakable voice last night over Mad Men's closing credits! I've been an admirer of hers since we were both at Wellesley College singing in the Ethos Choir.
Go Nnenna!
