The day I rediscovered... Nana Mouskouri!
In phrasing and intonation, Mouskouri shows the influence of her jazz models Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, yet her Greek accent, as well as her classical and opera vocal training, make for an utterly distinctive approach. It is really a gem!
(according to amazon Nana is "is the biggest-selling female artist of all time (...)" Never would suspect that would you?)
