What ever happened to melodic singers like Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr. (in his earlier days), and so many other superb examples? Sigh. The screeching, caterwauling, and rythmic speech (rap) that passes for black "music" these days is, frankly, an insult to the great contribution so many earlier black singers and musicians made to American popular music.

There's always Vonzelle... I think some people are dismissing her too easily...

I'm not. I see her has the dark horse to win it all. Not likely, but possible.
