Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...

Surprised no one mentioned Jacintha.

A unique talent, and her recordings are extremely high on the sound quality scale, STS.

Her rendition of Danny Boy moves me as did Belafonte's version.

Clearly a jazz singer comfortable with the old standards.

Cheers,         Crazy Bill

Kate Wolf................ None finer in my book.........

Look for anything Ivie Anderson recorded in the studio with Ellington. The material was recorded by guys who wore ties to work.

Lol I have over ninety percent of those me signed but I have two more that I have not seen yet that I believe  are very special. First off Nana  Mouskouri. A d Anne Murray
