Wow y'all.Do you know Mrs. Miller? She's this woman in the sixties who was somewhat classically trained and had gotten a recording contract to sing contemporary tunes in her style.
The problem is, she's really bad at it (the poor thing), and the whole recording contract was something of a practical joke. But she was quite successful for a time.
My favourite song of hers is her rendition of "Girl from Ipanema" but it's hard to find if you don't have the album. Her scat midway though is...it's...well, no one does it like her, is all I'll say.
You can find "Up, Up and Away" on LimeWire which is bloody brilliant!
But just for giggles, take a listen to Downtown. Just. Wow.
No, seriously.
"Wouldn't you like to ride in my beeyoootiful balloooooon...."
If you want to hear her massacre the Beatles, check out this site.

WHY.... WHY?!
What I don't understand is this. How come the musicians can't just "fall back" as opposed to "keep up" with her? She really is a talent that may not soon be forgiven, I mean forgotten.
