Man, my favorite singer of ALL TIME is Ella Fitzgerald. OOOOOOOOooooooh, I remember cleaning on a Saturday and granny would have her playing in the background. Gimme her and some Sarah Vaughan and Etta James. I LOVE the way they control their voices. Oh gosh I wish I could sing like those ladies. The men are cool too if you like how they do the instruments, but I'm not a huge vocal fan.
