DONNA HIGHTOWER: THE WORLD TODAY IS A MESS

I don't know much about this gal, but this song and performance are insane! Here is a brief bio from MSN Music:

"Little" Donna Hightower had a dynamic, big voice and made some fine shouting records for Decca and RPM in the '50s. Unfortunately, she never landed any hits, but that wasn't due to any lack of skill. She not only had range and power, but was equally compelling doing sentimental, soft ballads. She was backed by the orchestras of Horace Henderson and Maxwell Davis on the Decca and RPM material, respectively. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
