Like Chewie, I'd be interested in seeing which albums you have. I don't have one that would seem to fit the "concert in the park" description, but do have 4 or 5 other recordings (including one that Sing said he had forgotten about when I spoke with him a year or two before he passed away). I would also be happy to supply missing recordings.
When we spoke, Sing mentioned that the local PBS station had done a show on him and/or his band. I'm not sure, but I had the impression that it was primarily about him. If anyone has a copy of this I would be very interested in obtaining a copy. The St. Louis PBS station wasn't much help when I spoke with them (and it is now getting to be a number of years removed from when it would have been made).
Somewhere, I also have a recording of Count Basie with Singleton playing bass on several cuts.
