Local jazz singer by night, therapist by day

A local jazz singer by night is a therapist by day.  Barbara Levy Daniels is a jazz vocalist.  She broke into the business at the age of 12 when Ray Charles heard her sing as she auditioned for a label deal with ABC Paramount Records.

WBFO & AM-970's Eileen Buckley spoke to Daniels about her career as a psychotherapist, but still hits the nightclubs to belt out jazz tunes.
