Yesterday I came across this story: https://www.savebirdland.com/?fbclid=IwAR0PTW8U9W21xz-VNZOKV_1wTQl4DYWwHO7xMB13qVChRyQxa8JmrNEjhac (And still available to see) and my mind was flooded with singers and songs. In the 1950s and 1960s I grew up going to Birdland, Basin Street East, the Paramount, Village Vanguard, etc. and saw some of the greatest singers--these are just some of them--it is so hard to pick just one of their songs but here goes: 11) Nina Simone https://youtu.be/ghhaREDM3X8 12) Nancy Wilson https://youtu.be/WViPWl4ceZk 13) Sarah Vaughn https://youtu.be/CRyN9wQ1taY 14) Dakota Staton https://youtu.be/eqkKbH3CMmg 15) June Christy https://youtu.be/MIv1zFVPrTE 16) Billie Holiday https://youtu.be/Web007rzSOI 17) Dinah Washington https://youtu.be/p58B8wzMubY 18) Lena Horne https://youtu.be/EMf0Z7EPdLo 19) Peggy Lee https://youtu.be/LCRZZC-DH7M 20) Abbey Lincoln https://youtu.be/7BYs03JQEQY

Yes, to Peggy Lee and to Lena Horne. I will take a look at the others, My repertoire includes the wonderful voice of Vera Lynn I heard her in an Old Hollywood movie and fell in love with her singing,
