Last week, after my post on vocalist Billy Eckstine, I heard from Phil Dorsey, who owns the BocX, a streaming soul, jazz and fusion station. Or, as the e-station puts it, "Danceable, jazzy, funky, soulful, electronic chill-out music." Phil wrote: "I inherited this picture [above] of my dad, Phil Sr., with Billy Eckstine. I don't know where the photo was taken or when."
