Description: When I found her on the listening station I could believe my ears. This woman has a voice, full, melodic, distinct, seductive, mellow, sexy – like I haven't heard any "lounge-singer" before. Hard to believe she recorded these tunes in the 50's and 60's. Definitely way ahead of her time! 22 gorgeous tunes – should appeal to any age.
