When I saw this name on your birthday list, with no death date, which
would make her a ripe old 91, it gave me hope... only a little over a
year to go. (:

Anyhow, I barely recalled the name so, went looking, and it turns out
she's a powerhouse blues and jazz singer. Does anyone else recall the
name and/or hearing her. Here's a couple of samples from YouTube!
