There's an extraordinarily detailed list of the jazz/show singers that time forgot on MFEM. I can remember (just) that strange monochrome era before rock'n'roll swept all before it when singers like Jo Stafford, June Christie and Helen Merrill actually had a radio audience. Good to know that there's a small territory within which these real individula talents live on.

Yes, it's a great blog, isn't it.
I used to play a lot of JS, HM and co. around 10 years ago. Must dig out the discs.
