Death and Legacy
On April 13, 1960, Kenney committed suicide by an overdose of alcohol and Seconal. She was 28 years old.
She remains a cult figure in Japan, where all of her albums have been reissued to CD and have remained in print on a relatively steady basis. Japan's SSJ Records have released three collections of unreleased Beverly Kenney material: Snuggled on Your Shoulder (2006), Lonely and Blue (2007), and What Is There To Say? (2009). This first in the series, Snuggled on Your Shoulder, was reissued by Cellar Door Records in 2010; it features the SSJ Records release in its entirety plus bonus tracks from a recently discovered radio show. One track from Snuggled On Your Shoulder, "Tea For Two", was released on the Vintage music compilation, This is Vintage Now (2011).
