Della (film)
''Della'' is a 1964 American made-for-television drama film starring Joan Crawford, Paul Burke, Charles Bickford and Diane Baker. Directed by Robert Gist, the film was originally produced by Four Star Television as a television pilot for a proposed NBC series named ''Royal Bay'' which was to star Burke as a lawyer and Bickford as his cantankerous, righteous father. Following the successful film-to-television progressions of movie stars such as Lucille Ball and Barbara Stanwyck, Crawford attempted the same maneuver with ''Royal Bay'', a soap opera in a fictional seaside town where she was the wealthy matriarch and daughter of the town's founder. However, the pilot centered on the two characters that would most likely not reprise their role for the series, mother and daughter Della and Jenny Chappell. This may have been one of the reasons the pilot was released as a standalone film instead of the start of a series. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Della (album)
''Della'' is an album by singer and actress Della Reese, her first for RCA Victor, after she left Jubilee Records in 1959. The album, produced by Hugo & Luigi, was one of her most successful. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1961. ''Della'' was recorded at RCA Victor studios in New York City during three weeks in October 1959, with Reese backed by a big band conducted and arranged by Neal Hefti. Prior to the full band sessions, Reese was asked to record and rehearse the songs in front of her producers Luigi Creatore and Hugo Peretti, with George Butcher accompanying Reese on piano. (Butcher was a veteran of Duke Ellington's orchestra.) During the rehearsal, Reese decided against singing "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan" because the male-perspective lyric was too difficult to change into a female perspective. For the song "And the Angels Sing", Reese created her own arrangement by opening with a vocalese rendition of Charlie Parker's "Bird of Paradise" saxophone solo, the ...
