GOOD SUNDAY MORNING P.O.U.!
As you enjoy your Sunday breakfast/brunch, take in the sounds of “the singer’s singer”, Carmen McRae…..
Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable.[1] McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. (Source: Wikipedia)
