a pleasant Sunday to you researchers,

could you find me something of substance on this background singer? 
she has a jazz bent, singing backup for Al Jarreau and Marc Jordan, if
that helps.  Blue Note Records perhaps?  nothing much in the search
engines, groups, or images category.  I was curious if any of you
jazz folks have info on Ms. Gould, possibly not on the web.  a photo
would be extra-extra nice.  thanks a bunch!

thank you so much for looking these up.  I finally had the good sense
to check her out on the vivissimo search engine and found most of
these, along with the correct spelling of her name -- VENETTE GLOUD.

gadz, the woman's been around for a hundred years.  I was hoping
someone might have seen her on an old album cover and would consider
scanning in a photo.  I don't have a *single* one of these albums. 
would like to see whose face matches that voice.  don't wanna intrude
on the woman's privacy.  any photo in the public realm will suffice. 
thank you very much for your interest!

If a nickname will help in the search, I've found two references to
this lady as Vennette "Knettie" Gloud:

://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22knettie+gloud

There is also a Lynette Gloud, who is often credited alongside
Venette/Vennette/Knettie, as here:

http://hem.passagen.se/billchamplininfo/bobweir.htm. 

This has gotta be her sister. Or maybe her mother? Daughter? Evil
twin?
