Any big fans of the great female jazz singers of the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s...........Ella, Billie, Sarah, Dinah, Peggy............Brenda Lee, well maybe............

Youtube your favourite tracks and stick 'em in here !

I'm a big fan of 50's Rock'n'Roll, so I love the 1956 film "The Girl Can't Help It". Ironically, my favourite song in that film is not Rock'n'Roll at all, but this Jazz classic from Julie London:-

My first ones are some 1930s Billie Holiday, when she was the vocalist with the Teddy Wilson Orchestra...........

They were a tight little band.........they rocked !

That's my favorite Nina Simone track - ...............

Ella Fitzgerald...........where to start !

This is one of my favourites, a slow, soulful version of 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered'..........with a terrific 'tinkly piano' accompaniment, probably Oscar Peterson.
