Admittedly these are the very first two songs from her I listened to. They have a very swanky sultry but sad tone to them. I like them, but does she have more upbeat songs? I listened to them, loved them, they remind me of every old black and white love/drama movie with a character sitting at an iron key Royal Typewriter typing a dear John note, or detective trying to figure out who murdered their love, in film Noir.

GOOD STUFF, thanks for posting.

I don't know if you do drama, but a good introduction to her work is the film Lady Sings The Blues starring Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. Ross does a great job with both the singing and the acting. A good starter set would be the two disc Best Of Verve collection. It's from later in her career and so is less standard filled than other collections, but the quality of the recording is excellent and the lady is still in fine form.
