In the jazz world the contemporary singer/pianist Diana Krall, is popular.

But there's so many pianist/singers from decades ago that are still popular, long after their death.

I'll give you just two.

Nat King Cole was an accomplished jazz pianist as well as a singer.

Of the girls, Blossom Dearie, just listen to her sensitive piano playing when she sings along with this classic.

Both are long gone, but their talent lives on and is still appreciated.

Two of this year's finest retro piano-ballads:

Tobias Jesso Jr sounds like he's just beamed down from the 1970s.

Father John Misty does too, though his tongue is firmly in his cheek:
