While I'm here, I'm looking at a list and here is one I didn't see, isn't she liberal, actually, a few famous names I have not seen here, Cher, yes, Bette Midler, another liberal I think. Chrissie Hinde of the Pretenders I like but just not among the greats.
Great seeing everyone's picks.
Lena Horne, another one I haven't seen mentioned.
ANNETTE HANSHAW, 1920s singer, I think she is the one first known as "America's Sweetheart", there are a few '20s and '30s singers I've heard, can't think of there names.
Ruth Etting, oh, she's another one from way way back.
