Urzula!

Monday Morning, “Papaya.” I owned the album Urszula which had this song on it, “Papaya,” because in 1975 I worked for a short time in a record store in Grand Central Station, and the manager, who was a jazz freak, insisted we all listen to it. I immediately bought it. The singer was a Polish jazz singer named Urszula Dudziak, and she had the most amazing range. “Papaya” was by far the most commercial track. The rest of the album was filled with incredible sonic experiments which were so far out (and according to my roommate at the time, maximally annoying) that they made Frank Zappa seem like bubble gum pop.
