In the mid 60's I was doing a 42 hour per week radio gig in Chattanooga, Tennessee...jazz, pop, showtunes,etc. Every day I would feature a new artist for an hour, then if she or he got good response, he or she would be elevated to daily play throughout the day. I had four Sue Raney LP's. The first time I heard her, I all but flipped out. It was like someone had taken the best qualities of Ella and combined them with Eydie...and there you had, Sue Raney. She became one of the most requested singers on air during my stint there. Lo, that was forty-three years ago...and Sue sounds great as ever! As I said, she had ALL the best vocal qualities that every good female singer possesed. Her range had to be four octaves...as Torme, her voice had no bottom or top, it was limitless!
