Singers you like


Let's just post some videos and talk about vocal. I don't like many singers, but those that I do I really do.
Here I go to start:

Needfree I have a recording of her with Count Basie in 1981. It was re-mastered on XRCD. Send in the Clowns is included and it is a stunning performance. Sarah at the top of her game although her voice got a bit smokier as she aged her artistry became more masterful.
I used to like Sarah Vaughan when I was much younger, haven't heard her for quite some time. Maybe I should.

Anita O'Day is the epitome of a jazz singer, and this is my favorite by her.

She's also got a lot of style. Here she sings a song I don't particular care for, but when she she sings it; it's boss.

I liked the second selection better than the first. I particularly liked the instrumentation and the music.
