"Ethel Ennis has been underated in her career. She was very popular and made guest apperances @ the 90th floor in Dallas.
I can't find it, but I understand she used to be a Big Band Singer. I am looking for the works she did from that period. She is a great jazz vocalist. Dirk"
A jazz legend

"I live in Korea, and I discovered Ethel Ennis by accident. I found an album in a Korean music store (Lullabies for Losers) distributed from Japan. What a discovery! Treat yourself to ANY album by Ethel Ennis. She has a voice that can melt butter. I read that she was admired by Ella Fitzgerald. What better recommendation. I first bought "Lullabies for Losers" and heard the difinitive version of "Love for Sale." I have played the album hours on end. Then I bought this double album from EMI and heard an incomparable rendition of "My Foolish Heart" as well as 21 more exquisite tunes. Ethel Ennis is a jazz legend. She is, as I understand, still performing. My dream is to one day hear her in concert. Thank you, Ms. Ennis, for your music."

"Ethel Ennis is one of the great Jazz singers that stayed regional, preferring to stay near her family and home town scene in Baltimore instead of going really big time. I saw her sing many times at the King of France Tavern in Annapolis in the 1970s and 1980s. To me she really represents some of the very best of classic, female vocalist Jazz; and without the feeling you've heard her a thousand times already. This is the main reason you should buy this record."
