I was first introduced to Cleo by my voice teacher back in the 70s -- bought two tickets and saw both James Galaway and Cleo Laine took my mom to see them at the Opera house and I was in love with her ever since! This does bring back memories -- I was totally impressed she could hit those high notes and a wonderful scant singer! I remember the Song Bird like it was yesterday Thanks for the post.
True words! And be sure to check out "Turkish Delight," a delightful re-working of a Mozart masterpiece interpreted as a jazz piece. Cleo and John square off in amazing runs, leaps and flourishes! And of course, there's that phenomenal range of hers, too!

And she can scat too. Check out "It Don't mean a Thing, if It Ain't Got That Swing", an old Duke Ellington jazz favorite.
