Someone already mentioned her. One of the best jazz/swing singers of all time. Arguably, the best. So much emotion and nuance

Bringin' the Geeze Baby! Like eating potato chips can't do just one.

Start with one the Host Republic of Vietnam banned their guests, the American Armed Forces, from playing on Armed Forces Radio or at Firebases. First rock song ever started with a bass riff.

Man I was running a corporate yacht for the guy who owned the Detroit Tigers and Domino's Pizza in the 80s. We docked at a place in Detroit called the Rooster Tail on the River - it had three floors of catering facilities. The owner told me to come up one night, that Gil Scot Heron was playing. Maybe 100 people, private party. So I got to sit at the bar. He'd came over in between sets and chatted a little with us, he even talked some politics - **** cool him chatting with a dark tan white guy. Guy had an amazing voice and was a street poet. Very under appreciated artist and activist. Somewhere I have a cassette with his set that night that the board guy recorded for $20.
