  • Despite the aforementioned fan magazine "vote," its not coincidence that today few have ever heard of this singer. The record shows - and its irrefutable as far as American female singers are concerned - three singers dominated the 1930's when it comes to defining the American swing song tradition: Mildred Bailey, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. Each produced bedrock widespread and sustained recording and performance portfolios. Every other female singer in the 1930's was an also- ran.

  • What a magnificent voice!
