Warm voice, slow delivery - a pleasant listen

"While Bev Kelly was not a major talent, I feel that her voice and her talent have been unfairly characterized in the review by "A music fan." Just listening to the recorded samples will clearly demonstrate that.Her voice does not have a weak, whispery quality - it is a soft warm voice, and while her singing delivery is slow, it certainly isn't anything like "spoken." I'm not familiar with her career, but from this recording I would assume that she must have had a decent career in small clubs. If you are a fan of female vocalists you will probably enjoy her."
Great voiced singer

"I own about 1000 cd's of which 300+ are lady vocalists including O'day, Christie, Peggie Lee,Vaughn, McRae, and on and on. I don't want any prospective buyer of Bev Kelly's efforts to be dissuaded from missing out on a thoroughly enjoyable voice. She stacks up with any of the aforementioned singers. I'm very sorry that her career ended with only the few cd's that are available for me to enjoy."
Great Jazz Singer

"I'm listening to this album now. Bev Kelly is a world class jazz singer. Too bad she wasn't recorded more."
