She has been reincarnated -- as a white woman, from France. You absolutely MUST check out Madeleine Peyroux.

Hi Peter and Ken 
She's wonderful. Here are her two current cd's:
Madeleine Peyroux - Careless Love
Madeleine Peyroux - Dreamland
Between the Bars on Careless Love is incredible.

Thanks Peter. This is right up my alley. The vocal resemblance to Billie is startling. I'm definitely gonna get one of her two albums, even though I was a little disappointed in the musicians behind her. Listening on my little computer speakers, I was less than impressed with them, but I'm still very interested in checking her out (musically speaking  ).
In a similar vein, I've just discovered Susie Arioli. Now her musicians, particularly the guitarist, knock me out. Check out tune #3, "If You Ever Should Leave."

Jack, I checked out Track #3 as you suggested. While it was playing, I came back to the forum. The combination of your avatar spinning, and the low bit rate of the song was a little erie! Talk about being transported back in time! Holy!

Living proof you don't have to be old to be a dirty old man. Besides, I can spell better than that. (Sometimes.  )

If you like Ms. Holiday, you should get the Miki Howard CD titled "Miki Sings Billie, a Tribute to Billy Holiday" on GIANT Records (a subsidiary of Warner Brothers).
Amazing arrangements, fantastic vocal style. Track one (What a Little Moonlight Can Do) is fantastic, but then again…when you have David Foster producing you, it’s hard not to be hottt!
Enjoy!
