So long, song­bird.

She really was impec­cable; always a pleas­ure to hear. I think her Gershwin song­book gives Ella’s a run for its money, really I do.

    I had a massive crush on her when I was a kid.
    Steve Allen (TVs only real beat­nik, obvi­ously) used to have her on fairly often.
    That whole West Coast blonde hep chick thing…I was hooked for life.

    Hey, Glenn – I remem­ber you from your days at The Daily News. Chris was a dear friend and I really appre­ci­ate your kind words(andI will make sure Lori sees them). Chris was one of a kind and could curl that voice around a micro­phone like nobody’s busi­ness. She was also full of piss and vin­eg­ar and was a riot to hang out with! They don’t make them like that any more.
