Sarah Vaughan, Ella, and Anita O'Day really do it for me. Carmen McCrae is also great.
I saw Anita O'Day a few years ago at the Iridium on Broadway, NYC a few blocks from where I live. Being in her 80's it was not the greatest, but I was thrilled to see her and there were a few moments when her old magic shone through. I never realized she was still alive.
