Iconic vocalist Nancy Wilson, who topped the music charts with jazz standards, Broadway show tunes, R&B ballads and popular pop pieces, died Thursday at her home in Pioneertown, Calif.

Her manager, Devra Hall Levy, who confirmed Wilson’s death, said the singer had been ill for a while, and gave no further details.

1. I loved her voice and style.

Her version of "Nearness of You" with George Shearing was my wedding song for my first marriage. My ex took the furniture but I kept the song

2. I loved 'sweet' Nancy!

Thanks to my Uncle and my Dad, may they rest in peace. I have several of her albums.

3. Thanks for posting, Stellar.

As I said in another OP, I know many Nancys in my lifetime named for her, including my niece.

4. R.I.P. Ms. Nancy Wilson

She was my grandfather's favorite star. "They don't make them like that, anymore", he's say. She represented an era of star that was equal parts class, glamour, and talent. Well, heaven is a lot more jazzy than it was before her arrival!
Thanks for this post, Stellar.

Have a pic of her when she was in town back in the 90s.
