I enjoy any tune sung or played well from any era.

But I particularly like the Big Band Singers of the forties.

I've recently been listening to Bea Wain.

Here she is at the age twenty-two in 1939. Hoagy Carmichael wrote some great songs.

She had a long career and was still singing here in 1983 at the age of sixty-six, her voice could put many artists of a similar age to shame, who won't give up even though their voices have gone.

She died last year at the great age of 100.
