“Gloria Lynne often performed with The Marty Paich Orchestra and was much loved as a singer. She sang with the likes of Ray Charles, Billy Eckstine, Johnny Mathis and Ella Fitzgerald. Notable TV specials include two with Harry Belafonte and duets with Billy Eckstine. Another of the truly great singers of the 60s who suffered through poor management. Some unscrupulous recording 'executives' profited while she was left virtually penniless, saved only by the fact that she was able to work steadily and earn her money from performances—another victim of unpaid royalties. Sadly it was prevalent in those days. But what a voice she had. The great lady was born in 1927 and died only last year 2013. #HopeYouLikeIt #ClassicSounds”
