Very Wonderful talented ladies, the world was better for knowing them.

Um, no, sorry, but I can't stand Andre Rieu, if his PBS specials are any indication.

A lot of people ... ( 4 months ago by IrisMG)

A lot of people screw up the meaning of "perfect pitch", wrongly taking it to mean the ability to sing on key. So if I may, for those who don't understand the term, "perfect pitch" is the ability to either identify the frequency or musical name of a specific tone, or reproduce a frequency, frequency level, or musical pitch without comparing the tone with any objective reference tone. I.E., if someone says, give me an "E", she can sing it perfectly without needing the piano as a guide!

It's quite ok ... ( 4 months ago by ashydashers)

It's quite ok irisMG, I already knew that. Just thought I'd mention it in case you felt I was screwing something up. With a vast collection of Jo's numbers, including most of hers and the Pied Pipers'78's I feel I have a grasp of the correct usage of the term. Perhaps correspondence not actually dealing with Jo's passing and the fond memories we fans have, belong in another context.

Oh, sorry, I didn't ... ( 4 months ago by IrisMG)

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that you weren't using the word right - I just wanted to head off the inevitable people who would see your comment and say, "yeah right, obviously she can carry a tune well", when that's not what's meant by "perfect pitch" at all. It's just one of those "show-off"-y terms that gets misunderstood by those who don't know a lot about music.

Getting back to Jo ... ( 4 months ago by jjdion)

Getting back to Jo Stafford...she did some wonderful LPs later with her husband Paul Weston under the pseudonym "Jonathan
Darlene Edwards". It's flat out HILARIOUS!!!! They are two of the BEST!!

@ highrising....Are you serious? Poor Billie never got the attention or admiration she deserved.

Wecaan--
You're just being silly.
Billie Holiday had a movie made about her; She's had all of her recordings released on CD in deluxe box sets by major labels like Columbia and Verve, and her music continues to be played to this day.

Yeah, it's Billie ... ( 4 months ago by wecaan)

Yeah, it's Billie Holiday! She's a step above the rest. She's definitely not appreciated enough. So you want people to stop listen to her, or studios to stop releasing her stuff? It's not like she's selling like hot cake. Other far less deserving artists get the same deal, and even more attention. I don't get why you're hating on Billie Holiday, one of the most fantastic, and sadly also one of the most under appreciated artists ever. She died nearly penniless. She didn't see fame in her life.

I absolutely loved ... ( 4 months ago by Andrianopoulos)

I absolutely loved her. Sorry she passed away in July. I grew up with Jo Stafford's hits, her voice as familiar to me as my own mother's. I wrote her a long fan letter in 1998 and received a lovely card and autographed photo from her in less than a week. (Margaret Whiting had given me her address.) She'll be greatly missed.

Like Sinatra, Jo ... ( 4 months ago by sherom)

Like Sinatra, Jo Stafford performed with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra. It's obvious both singers were influenced by Dorsey's smooth continued legato phrases played on his trombone. Just listen to Stafford's breath control on Autumn Leaves.Thanks for posting.

As an old fart of ... ( 4 months ago by fringelily)

As an old fart of 60+, i an thrilled that new generations of listeners are discovering the superb performers of this era afresh ...what wonderful singers Jo Stafford and Rosemary Clooney were, along with Ella, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington and others, they represent a priceless musical heritage.

ahhh, this is true ... ( 4 months ago by SpearmintAltoids)

ahhh, this is true music, miles ahead of some of today's so called music.

Your argument has ... ( 2 months ago by jalex11)

Your argument has holes in it. Ella Fitzgerald was highly critically acclaimed and probably more well known than Billie Holiday. Ella also always appeared joyful to be singing and her personal life was never profoundly troubled like that of Holiday's.

Array ( 2 months ago by highnrising)

Perhaps. But in fact I recall reading reviews of Ella's Songbook series that did criticize her for sounding too happy. The critics love singers like Holliday and Edith Piaf, who sound near-suicidal.
In any event, Jo Stafford deserves to be remembered in the same league as Ella, Holliday, Clooney, Lee. Almost nobody under 50 knows who she is.

I agree, but ... ( 2 months ago by jalex11)

I agree, but Holiday had her critics who criticized her for being too maudlin and for not possessing a remarkable instrument like that of Fitzgerald or Vaughan. I do understand your point though. Interestingly enough Billie Holiday named Jo Stafford as her favorite vocalist! In any event jo does have a gorgeous voice.

It's been almost 2 years and yet I keep coming back to this clip like a drug. I still don't care for 'Autumn Leaves' or Jo Stafford singing it but Rosemary Clooney's 'Tis Autumn' is the best damn version of that song I've ever heard and I've heard dozens! Who arranged this? Was it Nelson Riddle or Jo's talented hubby Paul Weston?
