Sounds like a review of any graduate female singer of the Judy Davis vocal 
School.
The one who got her claim to fame marrying the Tennis Legend.   Funny but in 
all those years and with all those girls she used to send my agency I never 
once heard Judy Davis sing a song.   Guess she just taught others.    Just out 
of curiosity, has anyone ont he list every heard her or worked with her.  Maybe 
she really could sing but gave it up to be a vocal coach.    I do know she 
turned out a lot of formula clones who were wretched at best, but all thought 
they were Ella Fitzgeralds and Nancy Wilsons.

Whew!  Wish I had a Buck for everyone of those I had to back in my younger 
days, ))
