    1. What a voice! And her voice held up well through the years, I think.

    1. I was listening to Cassandra Wilson and Diana Krall the other day. I'm glad the younger generations have made an effort to uphold the female jazz vocalist standards through the years :)

  4. It's amazing how she changed over time. I admit this is not my kind of music, but I would never turn away from it just because it wasn't my style. She had a good voice, that's for sure.

    1. Looking at her across the decades is interesting. Some things change, but she's got that "sassy" spark :)

    1. Finding a regular source of music like this can be hard. Radio and LPs used to populate my musical life. Times do change lol
