Jackie Cain has died
#1
This name might not mean much to most-- she was 1/2 of the best jazz singing duo ever. But Jackie & Roy were so much more: they did commercials, some pop stuff, Beatles tunes, Broadway standards, always with a melodic core and always with grace. She will be missed (Roy died in 2002). 45 years of recorded wonderfulness: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jackie-ro...iscography
