Recetly been watching the "Totally Stripped" DVDs from that same year.
If you've not seen it check out the docu "20 feet from stardom" a large part of that focuses on her.
I watched "20 Feet from Stardom" too- she blew me away.

I'll put in a bid for Pauline Black at her peak. Slightly crazy lady , often angry. One of the things that made her angry , back in the day, was being told how great Kate Bush was. So some of The Selecter songs have these high bits where Pauline was showing she had more range than Kate.
My inroad into jazz is pretty much female singers. Cassandra Wilson did some blues songs with a fantastic rich voice. Anita ODay made singing over a big band sound so easy.
I like singers who can carry a melody, and although I'm fairly happy with those who can't at all, I hate the X Factor speak the words, do a big note at the end of the chorus type singing. I'll take Doris Day instead.
Oddly enough I was watching a Lady Gaga thing on YouTube this morning. She can sing but it's such an ordinary voice.
Anyway, I'll watch the clip in the OP later
Thread over.

Jesus, she could sing the telephone directory (and may well have done, for all I know) and still reduce me to a gibbering wreck.
I said maybe.....

Ella Fitzgerald
Although admittedly, neither of them do that "I can't reach the actual note so I'll just sing some other notes instead " thing so beloved of many singers today.
Kate Bush
