Inspired by Monte Canfield:

Would you believe Amy Winehouse?

Okay...then you need to have the real deal, Dinah Washington:

And some Ella, and then I'm going to just stop.

I'm going to stop because I could go on and on and on....

ummmmmmm.....

thanks for posting this. you ought to hear her version of Round Midnight. Amy's got issues, but she's got the goods. I am a sold out fan. I have been posting on her web forum and asking them to let the powers that be know that a standards or jazz project would show every frickin' scoffer that she's the REAL deal, not a flash in the pan. Singers like Adele or Duffy, or any of them, are ok, but Amy is a one in a million. You should her hear scat, OMG!!! A lot of really gifted singers deal with demons. I hope she can find peace and create some beautiful music. I feel she is a once in generation talent.
Thank you for this
