FLAC tracks | Jazz, Swing, Soul | 2:49:07 | 805 MbIt always seemed that women have led the way when it came to Swing. For every Crosby and Sinatra, there was not only an Ella or a Billie, but also a Sarah and a Peggy. For each Mel Tormé or Tony Bennett, there was a Lena , an Aretha, a Nina or a Dinah. When women became band singers during the Swing era, they frequently outlasted their employers in terms of celebrity and record sales. There are many remarkable examples of female vocal art on this compilation, some by those who have achieved superstar status. So many stories, so many brilliant performances. What a way to swing!Tracklist:Disc 11. It Don’t Mean A Thing – Nina Simone2. Nice Work If You Can Get It – Billie Holiday3. I’m Sitting On Top Of The World – Aretha Franklin4.
