Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
I realize i'll be showing my age (67), but the one I could listen to all day is Jo Stafford. Just something about her voice. Not everyone's cup of tea but maybe some of you geezers will remember her.,

I'll have to admit a taste for 'sunshine pop' One of my island discs is Spanky and our Gang 'Like to get to know you' Also love Donovan "Gift from a flower to a garden' and for a little more class, 'Nat Cole sings, George Shearing plays'
