Another vocalist whose style and songs blur the distinctions among popular singing, jazz, and blues, Lynne made both straight jazz and jazz-oriented material during the '50s and '60s and had some hits on the R&B scene. She has also done some acting and songwriting and has a good voice. Her strengths are expressiveness; she's a master at building tension in a song, telling a story, and punctuating a point. She has been doing more jazz-oriented work in recent years. ~ Ron Wynn
