I pine for the female singers of the past....

Julie London
One of the greats who could infuse any song with class using her smooth sexy voice. I loved her style.
Here is one of her many hits.

 

[Sunkist]

Tammy Wynette, why not?
Don't overlook female s in musicals who are not famous

It wasn't my type of music, but she definitely had a great voice.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

Tammy Wynette? It depends on the song. I did not like her song, "Stand By Your Man," but she did some quality music, and had a very unique voice and style.

Take a look at this lovely young lady with a voice like and angel. Check out the varied ages of her fans. I have not seen anyone transcend generations like her since Dean Martin in the sixties.

 

[ChiroDoc]

Great stuff, DGM! It's fascinating and also hopeful that some of the younger generation are appreciating traditional styles.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Kate Smith still had “it” in 1974.

I remember seeing Kate Smith...probably on The Ed Sullivan Show. She was a big deal back in the day.
Doc...you don't need to pine for anyone. With all sorts of videos available on YouTube going back decades, you can watch and listen to them anytime you want.

I have an older brother and sister so this is how I remember a lot of these songs. Not only do I love the songs, I love the memories they evoke..
