An outstanding, extremely talented artist that is not appreciated. I am really turned on by singers who can sing a straight tone in tune. Sue is one of those. I saw her singing live about 8 years ago. What a treat. She should be much better known.
Sue is too decent and fine and spectacular to have "made it." super, super big in lousy show business. Those in the know TOTALLY know she IS the Goddess of singing! Thank you for this lovely tribute!
Too true- A pure soul -I've been listening to Sue again as well- most other singers could take lessons from her.. I've played jazz on Alto since 1959 and I've heard them all sing. I've never heard any better.... she is sorely missed.
I am so glad to see that this incredible singer has as many fans as she does,She might be one of the best kept secrets of the great unknown singers of jazz and pop.
Incredible- how in Heaven's name have I missed this Angel- incomparable voice and soul. Makes me think of Joao Gilberto- if she'd stayed with bossa a lot of folks would have been out of a job!
The music world is nothing without SUE RANEY in it.Truly a remarkable talent.Her voice is clear,somewhat velvety,captivating foglike bewitching kind. I have met Ms Raney on various club appearances. The lady has appealing,friendly personality. In my book,
she is one of the best, if not THE BEST CLASSY JAZZY PERFORMER IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
Someone please tell me,where I can get hold of Ms. RANEY'S CD (then and now).Bless you for posting this.
Thanks for doing this tribute, she certainly merits it. She sings in the league of Ella or Barbara - in other words, the very best of the best.

Long time fan of Sue Raney who is probably the greatest blues and jazz singer of all time. I have always wondered why she is not better known.

Sue is one of those natural talents who knows just how to phrase, how to handle a lyric and how to sing in tune! And how to swing! I love her!
