In my not so humble opinion, the absolute queen of them all was (and maybe
still is) Vera Lynn.  A voice like a bell.

Didn't mean to cast aspersions on anyone's musical taste...I often get hit
for my own!
 
I guess Kitty's 50s stuff wouldn't  irk me so much if I didn't know what she
had been doing in the 40s.
 
For a 50s pop best-seller female singer ballad record,  I'll go with some of
Rosie Clooney's better sides.
 
Maybe my fave of that genre (also due to my parent's 45 collection) is Jane
Morgan's "Fascination" with that wonderful sort of Euro-pop orchestra (the
label calls them The Troubadours!).   I was also happy to replace that with
a very clean and smooth 78 pressing...I think it's a Canadian pressing.
 
Speaking of that record,  can one of you literate musicians explain the time
signature on that one to me?  At one time I thought it was a 3/4
waltz....but that ain't it exactly.  So "Teach Me Tonight" if you please!
