Actually, I've never really liked Cleo Laine. I was introduced to her on a recording of Sandy Wilson's execrable musical VALMOUTH, and I took an immediate dislike to her. I've heard her do jazz standards, and found her somewhat more tolerable, but I really dislike the voice, and find I'm happier with other jazz stylists as well.
Still, I know Ms. Laine has a huge following, and is a singer of a "certain age" - thus my suggestion that she might be a stylist worth listening to.
