Dee Dee Jean Bellson
Dee Dee Jean Bellson was the adopted daughter of actress and singer Pearl Bailey and jazz drummer Louie Bellson, who were married. Rumored to be the biological daughter of Louie Bellson, she had a brother named Anthony Paul Bellson (1954 - 1990). As a child, Dee Dee had the opportunity to travel with her adoptive mother, Pearl Bailey, on tour and she occasionally made appearances on Pearl's television show. These experiences undoubtedly influenced her passion for music and performance. As she grew older, Dee Dee Bellson pursued a professional career as a jazz singer. Her talent and dedication led her to tour extensively around the world, sharing her remarkable voice with audiences everywhere. She had the privilege of performing alongside her father's band and lending her vocals to albums by renowned jazz artists such as Weather Report and Wayne Shorter. Dee Dee's musical journey extended beyond the jazz genre as well. She had the opportunity to work with notable figures in the music industry, providing backup vocals for acclaimed acts like the Rolling Stones, Sheryl Crow, and Sheena Easton. Her versatility and ability to collaborate with such diverse artists showcased her remarkable vocal range and adaptability. Sadly, Dee Dee Bellson's life was cut short by a heart attack at the age of 49. She left behind a longtime companion named John Noble and their cherished dog, Caleb. Her passing marked the loss of a talented and beloved artist. Dee Dee's parents and brother had preceded her in death.

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living. For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
