Her version of "Nearness of You" with George Shearing was my wedding song for my first marriage. My ex took the furniture but I kept the song 
Thanks to my Uncle and my Dad, may they rest in peace. I have several of her albums. 
She was my grandfather's favorite star. "They don't make them like that, anymore", he's say. She represented an era of star that was equal parts class, glamour, and talent. Well, heaven is a lot more jazzy than it was before her arrival!
Thanks for this post, Stellar. 
Have a pic of her when she was in town back in the 90s.
