Who was the female jazz singer that song in a Cosby Show episode?

It was the episode where Vanessa and her 2 friends made a video doing "The Locomotion". I just want the name of the jazz singer that performed at a jazz club, and that song.Please

Lena Horne of Stormy Weather fame but I don't think that is what she sang on the show.


(Nancy Wilson also appeared on the show as Martin's mother. I don't think she sang though)

The singer in that episode is the great Betty Carter. She had Vanessa and her friends doing some basic singing exercises.

The Cosby show featured some really great talent. Report It

I believe it was Lena Horn.

Yes it was Lena Horne
