Ketty Lester as Helen Grant on Days of Our Lives
I’ve been told that Ketty Lester also brought a lived-in grace to the NBC daytime soap Days of Our Lives as Helen Grant. I can’t personally attest to that, though... I was an All My Children guy 🤣 #KettyLester #DaysOfOurLives #OneHitWondered

Love Letters by Ketty Lester is my #songoftheday. A beautiful moody piece of #jazz recorded in 1961. Best listened to with low light.
