Incredible Jazz Singer!

[Chris]

This thread is for you people who dig incredible singing starlets!

Some of you might remember miss Della Reese from "Touched by an Angel", but she's also one of the last great female Jazz singers still around. She was a big singing sensation back in the '50s and '60s and had several big pop hits. People said she was a mixture of Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan.

Watch these performances, and be prepared to get blown away. She's a pleasure to both watch and listen to!

I enjoy jazz/swing music very much. Its good to see someone else with a similar taste. :)

I dig jazz. Nina Simone and Billie Holiday are definitely among my favourites in that genre.

I friggin' love Nina Simone!

I like those songs, the first one in particular.

Some others I enjoy listening to (other than Simone and Holiday who were mentioned):
