Yesterday I came across this story:

(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

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,
