[Dixielandjazz] Jo Stafford (London Telegraph)

[J. D. Bryce]

I'm stunned that there's nothing in the American press about the passing of
Jo Stafford.  Even CNN has nothing on its website about it.

Stafford was a marvelous singer...tremendous emotional power.  She hit every
note dead center with but a slight vibrato.  She was a great singer.
