Agree with EARLY Carmen McRae , best singing I ever heard was on a Decca LP from ’"57 with Ray Bryant on piano .
Her voice was as clear as a mountain spring and perfect in every aspect .
As to old voices giving out , Tony Bennett may not be quite what he once was but he can sell a song better than ever and is not just a walk down memory lane .
I never did understand why Torme was so underrated .
I know its heresy but I always thought Sarah was better than Ella.
To me, and of course says more about me than Ella, as beautiful as her voice was I always felt like she would rather be somewhere else doing something else, while Sarah seemed like there was no where else she’d rather be or nothing else she would rather be doing ..
