It was reported from Beverly Hills, California, that Jody Berry, a
nightclub singer who headlined hot spots such as the Coconut Grove in
Los Angeles, California, and sang with jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald,
died Tuesday, January 15, 2005, of cancer at his home, said Dale Olson,
a longtime friend, at the age of 68.
Berry sang at clubs across the country, including the Happy Koomar's
400 Club in Los Angeles, where he met and sang with Fitzgerald, his
favorite singer.
He went on to perform in musical touring companies, performing in "Guys
and Dolls," "Oklahoma," "Music Man" and "High Button Shoes." He also
starred in his own musical, "Memory Lane of Fame," impersonating
numerous celebrities, including Elvis Presley.
Berry's new CD recording, "For Lovers Over Fifty and Under," is
scheduled to be released soon, Olson said.
Berry also created a men's clothing line, L'Uoma Elegante, and a line
of upscale golf wear sold at boutiques in Los Angeles.
