Karen Agron Flattery, Vocalist

#WomenYouShouldKnow

Our beloved Kansas City jazz singer, Karen Agron Flattery, has passed.

I wrote the following in 2014:

"Vocalist Karen Agron's first publicity photographs were made by Bruno of Hollywood when she was a teenager. An agent suggested she change her professional name to Karen Day because, 'Agron isn't catchy enough.' 

Karen entertained audiences across the United States, performing with first-class bands and orchestras. 

Many years ago, Karen sang at Le Carrousel in Kansas City's famous downtown Muehlebach Hotel. It was a posh setting for the ultimate in dining, dancing, and musical entertainment."

I remember my last telephone conversation with Karen, and it was too long ago.

Karen and Kevin Flattery have been married 27 years.

"Be kind, be hopeful, do as much as you can for others, love yourself and find peace." -Karen.
