I have been listening to Roberta Sherwood since I was a youngster, some fifty years ago. My dad was a collector of stereo LP's and had diverse, superb taste in music. So while friends were listening to the Beatles and other groups of our generation, I became fond of classic vocal music, gospel, opera, classical, folk, and all sorts of great music. Roberta Sherwood was a great voice in the fifties, and I never tire of listening to her. One of her sons was nice enough to write me.
shut. up! just ran across her tonight on here.....WOW!!!! add to my list of songs to find......i had never heard of her....i'm 43 and I have always liked music of another era, but this is crazy good...oh well, now I know who she is...thanx!!!
Unique...inimitable...GIFTED. Billed as a torch singer, "with tears in her eyes and in her voice," she was truly one of the greatest night club entertainers of the era.
I love Roberta Sherwood. She lived very close to us in South Florida. I heard her sing on stage in California and talked to her back stage. She was a warm wonderful person.
I hope others find more to post of her. No one sang "Mississippi Mud" like her.
@patclara2 That is the genius of a real talent. No multi track recording. No sound sampling. No digital filtration. Just her, a microphone and a couple of superb musicians. Magic. That was music, and she was a grand lady.

Fantastic, I don't know if she was in Vegas. But if she were alive today and in Vegas I'd go out of my way to see her act!

She was the best.
Too bad she was so overlooked and under rated.
She just stood up and sang.
And, that's all she needed to do.
I miss you Roberta.
