Ahead of her performance at Feinstein’s in New York, jazz vocalist Rebecca Kilgore talks to Simply Showbiz about the challenges of singing standards made famous by Marilyn Monroe:
“I love [MM's] languid, understated approach. Because, myself, I don’t have a big, belting kind of voice—so that softness has an appeal to me.”
Over at the New York Times is a re-evaluation of Marilyn’s singing career, including an interview with her pianist and arranger, Hal Schaefer:
“If you hear the record now, there’s no baloney about it. She’s a real singer with a big band in a studio, not some movie star they’re trying to pass off as a singer.”
