[78-L] Female Jazz and Popular Singers.

[Spats]

Hi!

Peggy Lee is my favourite of ALL female singers, even over Ella, 
partly because she can sing in ANY genre and somehow still sound 
'right' although singing it HER way. Actually, I don't think that she 
did sing that much 'pap'.

For the person who was writing about early Blues singers really being 
Jazz singers, it's interesting to read on early acoustic labels, a 
description as 'comedienne'. I suppose that, in those days, there was 
only classical singers or Music Hall (Vaudeville) singers. The 
category of Jazz hadn't really arrived yet.

Earl.
