From the collection of Baby Jane Dexter - " Baby Jane Dexter, a large woman whose early career as an entertainer focused on self-deprecating jokes about her size, is trying to put that behind her and to win acceptance as a straightforward singer, She is making her first appearance in this new guise at Reno Sweeney with a program that draws on such varied sources as Nellie Lutcher, Cole Porter and Bob Dylan, although most of her material comes from Randy Newman." New York Times, November 6th, 1974 - "Ms. Dexter has had a following in New York since 1973, when Reno Sweeney, the famous cabaret room, opened and featured singers as diverse as Barbara Cook, Patti Smith and Meat Loaf. She went from an opening act to a headliner within the first 18 months (the comedian Bruce Vilanch often opened for her), establishing herself as a cabaret rebel of sorts. New York Times, 2010
