Ethel Waters' version of "Stormy Weather" was always my favorite. I know that Cole Porter hated her brassy renditions of some of his songs, like "It's All Right with Me." Still, she was a survivor and one of the last of her era.

I hadn't realised she had gone. I was recently only thinking about 
survivors from the 30s, including her, Bea Wain, Doris Day, Kay Starr 
and Mitch Miller.
